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

The bobcats are rather used to people. It's the cougars on weekends you have to watch for.

I got on another mup off green oaks, And I tried to ride to lake arlington but the road was closed, well it’s gated. So at that point I turned around.

I didn’t have any water or food which was dumb, but I had no plan on staying out that late.

Thanks. Place does have great reviews. Not much of a burger man, though. Just had a great dinner at El Naranjo. Recommend highly.

Bethlehem and Nazareth are nearby. The Andrettis were associated with the Nazareth Speedway.

Performance, except at the tippy top, is always relative. Everyone of us sucks less than some other zhlub and should feel good about it.
