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

My daughter better not do that. We have money spent on her plans for a late 2022 wedding. Not changing that now.

Oh, I do. It's part of the job description. However, that doesn't change the fact that I was right about what you'd posted. If you now agree with me that Tennessee is part of the East Coast, then welcome to the party!

It was okay. I got a niece out of the deal.

EDIT: NOT the niece who won't get vaccinated. This one did a lot of the heavy lifting - figurative and literal - while Dad was in hospice care at home.

that's not much of an inspiration be it a flash or not.

Seriously, she's very savvy about bikes and what she likes, make that picky about bikes. I'd have to drive or fly to Colorado so she could go hands-on with it before she would commit to buying one. Charts and graphs and a three-part harmony just wouldn't cut it for her.
sounds like time for an e-bike for you then.

I just found this in one of my junk piles. I was thinking I might be too old for it and getting ready to sell or trade but then figured I'd put it on a road wheelset for the Lemond, and keep the 12-26 for the gravel wheelset
