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

and it's ok. I'm cool with it. I enjoy this place just the way it is. I don't really know if Dr. Pete is a Dr. But if he is great. If not great. He has to live with it. (By the way this is in no way intended to offend or attack Dr. Pete. I just picked his name randomly. I personally enjoy his posts). Maybe Ryan isn't a 17 year old. Who cares. Life goes on. Honestly since he came on board my interest in the forum has gone up. Don't know if that's a good thing, or a bad thing. But it is what it is. I live in Miami. If no one believes me, who cares. I know who I am.

So let's just have fun and use this place for what was probably it's original purpose. To have a place for like minded people to share and learn.

I am.

Have a nice day.

You've been in Miami too long. Everyone here pretends to be what they aren't. Just go to South Beach. If asked, all the girls are models, all the men are rich.

Does staying at a Holiday Inn Express have any effect on this argument?

Okay...

Maybe here...but if you click just one sub-forum up, just about all of the regional racers see each other nearly every weekend during race season.

Kinda hard to fake the funk at that point.

I didn't know being gay and being rich were mutually exclusive.

Damn, I wish I was as poor as Elton John.

Emo sucks.



BTW...I am who I claim to be...I keep it rahl 24/7.

For the record...I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I'm not a doctor...and I don't play one on TV.

I own a Holiday Inn Express franchise.

Please don't bring your black lights in for after-prom partying. It's just not wise.

Hard to imagine anyone gets impressed by someone when told they are a model.

I confess...I am not a transvestite playboy model. I know some of you are shocked, but no worries, we have a Holiday Inn Express franchise holder in our midst...everything will be ok.
