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

It was 57 F this morning. Been raining off and on all day. Temperature has been dropping slowly since mid-morning. Possible flash freeze tonight. Driving could be interesting tomorrow, not that I am planning any.

Some do. They also populate medical offices, and inhabit forums, questioning my quality MOTDs.

Yeah, I believe this is one of the big issues in psychology research - self-identification. But self-identification could itself be interesting to study.

This makes me think of my time in Ithaca. It snowed a lot less than I'd expected. I'd read about big accumulations in Rochester or Syracuse, and we'd get a couple inches. Cross country skiing was really popular, but it never seemed like there was enough snow to justify it.

I've biked through Rochester, Ithaca, Penn Yan, Wolcott, Geneva, Moravia, Auburn, Cortland. I've biked everywhere, man. I've biked everywhere.

Horseheads is a town in New York, just north of Elmira. When I took US 15 to get from home to Ithaca, I'd see the signs for "Elmira/Horseheads", before I got on NY13. Later, I took more of a back way, up US 220, which in retrospect, driving a 14 year old MGB that was mostly running on 3 cylinders ("Fill the oil, and check the gas!") was nuts. I relied far too much on the whims of Fate, Abingdon, and Joseph Lucas as a young man.

We've chartered a few, but none that size. It has been described as like driving a coffee table.

But, great party deck for 8 people (plus crew). And, the chef is wonderful.

Guess I should get a ride in. Can't decide between MTB, road, or just a couple hours pedalling this around, as seen on today's burrito run
