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

Let this be a lesson to you, young cyclist,
to ride while you may.
Old age will one day prevail
and take that away.
Never mind. That's too depressing. No poems for me please.

...am I the only one who has this mental image of a @patentcad concert consisting of several pairs of granny panties tossed on the stage,
followed by a sordid scene of drinking cheap wine and snorting Viagra off a 60 year old ass in the back of the tour bus ?

There once was a surgeon from Indy,
His postings were toxic and windy,
He blew out his hip,
And no longer could skip,
So he cheated to win a Snark Emmy.

Of course you're the only one, you're the only Trollheim denizen here. Duh!

Last time I poked into Trollheim it was such a cesspool that I figured I would never look there again. That was a year ago, more or less.

Has it changed since then??

I was going to say that, but that would be too snarky.

Has hell frozen over? Have the cubs won the pennant? Have the Mets won the pennant? Have the Lions won the division?

Yah, it's actually mellowed out quite a bit and has some interesting conversations going.

There was a young biker from upstate,
whose command of the language was great.
But he lost in the snark race,
and put on a dark face,
and sniveling and whining he did emanate.
