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 still got tf out of there. Horse people told me she had a den near there with cubs. The last thing I want to do is get near cubs.

The other one was in a gorge and I looked down and saw her. I think it was a her. She looked at me directly in the eyes and I backed away and got on the bike and took off.

I've been around mother bears but they were busy with their little ones and were not concerned with me.

I 'liked 'post 8788. The like didn't take and the button disappeared. It did not re-appear after a refresh. That post only is missing its 'like' button. This is par for the course for me. If there is even a hint of a bug, it will find me.

I can see your name in the list of people who liked the post. Also, when you like a post the button is designed to disappear but an "unlike" hyperlink appears below the posters name. Nothing sinister, just working as designed. I hope this helps.

It's an exhibition race on an untested track, using a brand new car. The upside, it won't be a full field of cars. The downside, it's going to be a **** show.

Apparently this didn't exist in June when I went the Neurosurgeon. So now he wants me to get this done. It makes sense since it provides valuable information. Also was prescribed 2 pain medications. These also were not available in June. Lots of advancements in a few short months. SMFH.
