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

Happy Birthday to 55/Rad

Happy birthday! You don't look a day over 30 and with a little of Floyd's natural test added to your birthday cake, you won't be a day over 25!

Look at it this way Rad....

You are now just one year away from a guy with a total hip replacement now!
Well, until I hit 48 later this month!

Folks, I've been around here for I think a couple of years now, and Mr. Rad here was the first guy I felt an on-line bond with. Upstanding, great advice, super sense of humor, a guy who 'gets it' for sure. My only problem with him is that I just can't get him to hop a plane and come visit me and my little world here. I think it would be a blast.

Happy Birthday my BF friend!

Happy Birthday Rad!

Echoing many others, thanks for all your insight in all things cycling (and I guess all things in general ). Your insight has definitely helped myeslf and many others in many ways the past few years.

Patriot - I can hear you singing and it's not good.

46 to answer the question you didn't want to ask.

Happy Birthday. While you and I are not personal friends, I always enjoy your posts. You are always a gentlemen and your posts are thoughtful and often insightful. Here's hoping that good guys do finish first.

Best Wishes,

Clay

Wishing you a great day.
You've really got a good personality, and you're someone who I respect, even for how little I know you.

Sincerely,
Alex

Happy Birthday, "pops".

I don't think there's anybody more respected on this forum.
