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 guess the sign gives part A away, but you still got the road.

Correct. The greatest odd-numbered interstate in these United States.

I drove to Pasadena today and bought the Chorus crankset for my Seven. He even installed it and the new chain for me. Now I hope the chain doesn't skip on the cassette.
They are a BMC dealer and have several Roadmachines in size 61. He really wanted to get one down for me to test ride but I claimed poverty.

Are you talking about the greatest (highest) number designation or just the bestest? Because 95>75 and I95>I75.

What strikes me as odd is, it's daylight, and there's no traffic on that interstate.

On Labour Day, prior to the Xenia restaurante fiasco, we went hiking at John Bryan State Park/Clifton Gorge




You wouldn't guess this place is in the middle of soybean/corn fields, but that's how they roll in Dumbdumb Land.




I'm happy to report that the seven people in our party combined carried 0 ml of water on this hiking activity. Mojo31
