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 should probably change mine, but there's a timelessness about being beyond bogus.

I’m tired, so tired. Been tired for about a week now. My wife dropped me probably 6-7 times Today on a flat 22 mile ride. I’d say that I need some time off but I took a few off last week which is a lot for me.

Oh, well, I’m sure it will pass, always does.

Do you put on 10 or 15 pounds during the holidays eating cookies and such?

Had a wild downwind ride with lots of surfing, then turned a corner and bashed back into it for another 10 mi. Now chilling.

Yellow is land. Blue is very shallow water. White is slightly less shallow water.

Got a room tonight so I could do wash and dry out stuff. There was another downpour last night shortly before 11. Today was really nice riding weather.
