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 never did Barry Wolf GP, for some reason. It's certainly possible that we raced together, if he's been around for a while.

I doubt you have ever heard someone "banging" a trumpet, unless you were hanging out in an instrument repair shop.

Fun fact: Our friend Will won his race at the BWGP when it was held at Warner Center. It was a huge field, about 100 riders, for 2,3,4, maybe? Anyway, there was a big crash near the end and Will somehow got through it and sprinted to the win. Scott was down in the corner for a few minutes but got up and rode home from there. Will came back to check on a teammate who had also gone down but I don't remember his name.

Thurlow won the pro race that day in an awesome display of fitness.

Serious Cycling picked up the race and moved it to 1000 Oaks. Scott in red shirt.

I just had to look up quadriceps, images, to confirm/ learn that it is effectively four muscles. Is the groin included in this mix or is it something else.

Disclaimer: i am looking at my phone, without my glasses on.

Well, well. Turns out that my Geoguessr guess, with the only clue being a BBQ place, was only an hour off.

Pretty good, eh?
