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

No, don't be sorry, that's what I was looking for. I've always been a technical guy but have no knowledge of the watch biz. Thanks for taking the time to spell it out.

Lester, I will be in phx on the 11th. I get in early enough, if I can locate a bike, I plan on riding. Not sure where we stay yet, but I am pretty sure it is downtown.

We left our air bnb, took the freeway with lots of traffic, returned the car rental, and got through security at LAX.

Yes, but was LAX security lax?

I'll be free 'til 3pm, as I have work at 4pm.
What size bike you ride? I have a couple of 53s, a 55, and 56.

Unless you wanna go MTBing, I have a large, med, and a small that's set up like a medium.

Tulum is the hot ticket these days in these parts. Yesterday I lunched on the strip and didn't notice anything different from the last time I lunched on the strip ten years ago.
Then, on the way down to Punta Allen, I saw the abomination that is the new strip. Opulence for its own sake.

Last time I looked, bam rides a 58 with a real long seatpost.
