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

Yeah 92 isn't too bad. If I knew who was going to be at the club ride start tomorrow that would be great, but most people don't use the feature on the web page.

The other club is good about that, I can see who is coming but they only have one ride and it's only 29 miles. Maybe I can convince some of them to go longer.

Oh, and a new Praxis bottom bracket. The old left-side bearing was toast.

The point of the desk is to sit down and be comfortable. Unnecessary standing is dumb.

For me sitting down causes pain and standing provides relief.
