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

What’s that white goop in your coffee? My coffee has a black color.

They're both ladies here today and I'm wearing MTB shorts.

I just reached down to tighten my shoes a click and realized my arms and legs are covered in gnats, and my right leg even had a couple duck feathers stuck to it. I'm surprised they didn't refuse me service.

Lying low today, I found a 1986 divisional playoff game between the Browns and the Jets--the full game! Bernie Kosar vs Pat Ryan. Browns head coach is Marty Schottenheimer and special teams coach Bill Cowher. The Browns kicker kicks the old style, with a square toed shoe, It's a different game for sure. Fun to watch. I was a Browns fan in those days. And I was still single--just barely.

Mile 42.7, just a couple miles from home but contemplating getting a metric in today, since we have a couple days with a chance of rain. Probably Rapha and Strava seeding the clouds so I can't complete the F500...

If you see a woman in the Sun City West area who looks like she is missing her husband, it's probably my wife.

Mark Moseley, who followed the tradition of Don Cockcroft. Prolly.

SCW and back home would put me well past a metric today but I can head out there tomorrow and keep my eyes peeled.

New wheels ride sweet. Super smooth, no flex from what I could feel or see. I def felt out of shape which was disappointing.

I think I found Whyfi N+1.

more proof the sand lubricant you previously used leads to premature wear

Maybe you can move to somewhat rural eastern Cali to get away from the crazies. Cost of living is probably much lower but you can be nearer your family once you start wearing diapers.
7' = 7 FEET, not 7 inches.

Duty called on Saturday and Sunday, so no rides. Weather was perfect - low 60s, no clouds, light winds. So, of course, since I couldn't ride till today, it's now overcast, and about 50 degrees. I threw caution to the wind and did a Big Sunday RIde on Monday. The rains have caused the grass to spring forth, even though it's winter.



Somebody build a really nice bus shelter, right where I always stop for a snack. MUCH more inviting than the old, broken bench that used to be there.

Nice to see you've got the HPX4 on there. I'm running HPX3 these days. I have some of those fancy chrome pump umbrellas.

We need more waving threads.
