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

Speaking of clicks. When I turn my head to the right my neck makes a clicking noise. Is this the end of the line?

nope. Evasive action from some clown coming straight ar me forced me right and my front tire got caught in some displaced roadway. Over I go. Left shoulder looks similar. Surprisingly my clothing doesn’t show a sign of wear from the 15’ pavement slide. Held the bike off the ground the whole way. Only scratch is on non-drive side pedal.

LSS—LSGF at the time—hated it when I shaved my legs. She said it felt like shark skin in bed.

well as a bike driver that has a tendency to fall, impressive holding the bike off. Your going to have to teach me how to do that.

That blows. That's why I play in the streets where it's more safe. Glad it was only a bit o' road rash and not worse, though!

Another cold afternoon on the lawnmower. Is 5 warm months out of 12 too much to ask for?
