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

Rhetorical finish. It was about a quarter mile from my house which was my exact start point.

I would not ride through it at the beginning of my ride.

Hard to see with a phone cam, but some of the dozens of birds nesting near the main causeway into Ocean City, NJ. Most are snowy egrets.

Looked back at my post. It said “finished with” not “finished at.”

VV’s criticism is unfounded as usual.

I went pretty hard this week my HRV only dipped low after the hard ride on Tuesday. It was down to around 35-39 wed and thursday, and by today was back up to 49. Im kind of surprised it’s not lower. Im def feeling this weeks load, but I don’t feel too fatigued so it looks like it might be accurate.

so you believe reality and not what the internet says. You should try that more often, especially with the twitter-verse.

The internet didn't say it was going to rain--you said it was going to rain.

Agreed.

I insert punctuation like, "period," "comma," etc. by saying it and it works fine... usually.

it communicated the message since it was understood. Kudos.

Punctuation is overrated especially when using a phone.

I got up at 4:50, made coffee and breakfast, packed up camp and hit the road before 7:00 after riding to the trash/recycling area at the campground.

When I rode the 13 miles back from Sea Isle on Saturday it was 94 degrees and humid. I drank over 60 ounces of water and had to take a shade break. The Kask helmet I bought last year has poor ventilation. I’m going to relegate it to cool weather duty.
