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

Hoping the guy who runs the ride lays down the law on the dufuses who do that stuff. It's supposed to be no-drop and has attracted people who don't want to race every ride. If they keep getting dropped they won't come back.

The guy who started the dropping did this stuff on a club ride one time when I was there and I called him out and he said it wasn't his fault. Maybe it isn't, technically, but when you start gapping the group, many times people will try to follow and it gets all strung out. There are times when that's fine and times when it's inappropriate.

Seven days in a row. Been a long time. The Pilates is working my thighs and the cycling is too. Feeling it.

It's not a video game. In the multi-player version, someone posts a picture, people guess the location, and the closest guess wins.

Wife and I took the girls to see their first concert last night at the MVP Arena in Albany. It was such a cool experience for them. My oldest was dancing and jumping all night and my youngest was as well until she got a little tired.

Fall Out Boy was the headliner with Jimmy Eat World there as well. It was some to share the experience with them.

Our next concert is going to be either the NY Philharmonic at Saratoga Performing Arts Center or the Boston Pops at Tanglewood. Excited for either one.

I have a red with white lettering Schwinn 684 that those would look nice on. Unfortunately, that bike was also made in the day that a 23c was a wide tire.

We were riding with a guy on Saturday who had 19Cs on his bike. My wife wanted to know what kind of bike that is.

Put that right up there with wind up winders.
