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

Can't check the tape. it's been wiped and recorded over with classic rock.

Whether it's a thing or strategic alliance it's time to spill the beans. Well?

Speaking of this, have you considered a girlfriend/boyfriend? When was the last time that happened? Maybe a nice church clarinet or flute player.

I don't think anyone would be bothered by that. This seems like a pretty open minded group.

Sadly the woodwind section in band has been decimated. There were five total flutes/clarinets on Tuesday. No candidates for such an activity.

Band people seem to be young (still in school) or old (retired, empty nesters). Not a lot in the middle.

Kind of hot (would have been better if it sounded like a trumpet, not a trombone).

I've only had one short ride in the past 2 weeks due to the absolute crap weather here. I went home yesterday expecting to get my zwift on. No bueno! Powers out. Didn't come back on until 11:30 or so. Maybe today.....
