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

You know you're racing in Colorado when the start/finish line is at the Starbuds.

You have one, so you don't look at them longingly. One of our Clinical folks got one, I think she got tired of her tiny 3-banger Chevy - maybe partly because she's about 6' tall - but I'm pretty sure she hasn't really uncorked it anywhere.

BYU and ASU are neither on the west coast and are on about the same longitude.

I like!

Now you’re convincing me I need a white bike. 😜

Your friend’s car is a few steps up from mine. So is his bike.

Trust me, I still look longingly at everyone I see. When I was young, it was my lifelong dream to have a 911. The itch has never gone away. They are addictive.

It's hard for me to go all in on a 4 door Porsche. Of course, it's above my pay grade, so there's that.

Never thought I'd ever buy a Porsche SUV, but we love our Macan. Literally drives like a sports car. Wife won't part with it unless I find her a new one just like it.

Question is, how hard should I look?

I can buy a Porsche but don't want one. I can't buy fitness/health but want it.

Interesting. These marks must be measured "as the crow flies", because from Youngstown, NY just to Albany, NY is already over 300 miles.
