Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm screwed. Now I have to decide on fusion or artificial disc. The first neurosurgeon I saw talked about fusion being the better option and that Tiger Woods had fusion to repair his back.

Is there a noticeable difference between T-Mobile and Verizon? Or any others?

Depends on where you live. T-Mobile was fine in Vancouver, WA but not so good in Rock Springs, WY

Was able to squeeze in a second ride last night after work (wife wanted me out of her hair). It’s amazing how much faster I am in warmer temps. (80 degrees vs 40)

Thank you. Verizon seems to be getting a bit nonsensical in their charges.

They always have bundles of some sort going, but they sometimes get lost in the website - they're sometimes under Jerseys or Bibs, and there used to be a "Bundles" category, but it was recently renamed to "Outfits." Regardless, Core/Cargo/Lightweight bundles, usually both multiple jerseys and bib/jersey combos, are almost always available.
