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

Sourdough is getting to be like IPAs are for craft beers. Sure, they might be great, but it's not the ONLY style of bread.

It’s long and hard and wet, but at least it’s warm after the first night…or TWSS.

God, I hate winter too.

Same thing happened to me when I hit 60. My average has gone down every year since. This a.m. I was 141. Okay, but not much margin for safety.

You lost 59 pounds by drinking slightly less beer? Or were you sick?

I haven't been sick, other than when I got my Covid vaccine. It was a tough 5-7days each time.

It certainly is more time consuming, but worth the effort IMO.

NW of Pyramid proper(not far from the 303/Lake Pleasant intersection). It's close to home, and just enough traffic. If you got injured out there, chances are good that you could get some help(at least on weekends).

15-20lbs would have been fine, but 141lbs is pretty skinny at 6'2".
