Addiction 2021.3

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

How do you adjust the stem length and angle?
Like most on the market now, it's not a one-piece stem and bar, so you can swap the stem and there's some freedom to rotate the bars a bit. You just need to get your fit right. I think that some of bikes on the market also have split spacers so that you can lower the stem without stripping everything. I think.

UT Jr. and Oklahoma are leaving, but maybe not before some or all of these schools join.

No time or desire for that, and the most I will have is my phone.

Now a 50% chance of showers on Sunday. May skip the dirt road options. Would be a shame as those are often very nice in VT.

No, you always have to have two or more or two less - Big 12 = 10 teams; Big 10 = 12 teams. If they have 14 teams, then they can either be the Big 12 or Big 16.

Our D was good, considering. They just need a better pass rush, you got to pressure Brady or he'll pick you apart. The Giants have twice proven that.

He was leading the league in yardage last year before he went down. He's got a sweet group of receivers, you can't double just one of them.

My wife will not eat at iHop. I've been suffering for years because I'm too dumb to just go and leave her home. But one of these days . . .

She's not crazy about most fast food joints but she will occasionally do a Wendy's chicken sammich. She will not, however, do a Popeye's. So exactly who's the long suffering spouse?
