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

I figure that’s why auto manufacturers can’t get chips. They’re all going into arms!

[I was properly riding on the road, obviously.]
You should go back and test things out thoroughly.

Its weird. I did the Northville ride again yesterday. 5 new achievements. I'm putting in good solid work. I went to the front on the last climb, pulled all the way to the top. Just as we crested, I heard from behind me. "Don't you dare pass him now after he pulled you all the way to the top!" LOL. So I pulled aside and waved em past. Waited a beat then went outside and past them back. Was fun. So frigging hot yesterday! I had to have an extra post ride beer. Looking at my numbers I'm improving by holding back a little bit on the peak output. Leaves me a little bit to spread around in other places.
