Addiction 2021.2

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

Our cable company provides Peacock which is the successor to NBC Sports. We have kilometer 0 to finish coverage.

No. Idiot fan with big sign, standing on the edge of the road, mugging for the camera on the motor that was running ahead of the peloton, not looking at the riders. Sign caught the arm of the 3rd guy in the peloton, taking him down, which took down half of the rest of the race.

The Wenatchee solution was pretty awesome though, all orchestras and bands should implement it.

Went to the club ride start today and there were only 5 of us doing a 55 mile ride and 2 others opting for the 25. I think most of the members must be doing remote start rides. I was invited to one of those, a climbing ride in the mountains but I didn't feel up to it.

There is a guy who I haven't seen in over a year who is notorious for blowing up a ride with his flatland speed then leaving to go home. He joined us a few miles in and when he took off, 3 of our group chased after him. Eventually they stopped and we all got back together and the sprint monster stayed with us for the biggest climb of the day. He climbs at my speed (slow) and descends very carefully. I think he's about 6'5" and maybe 240#. He left us on the other side of the hill. I like talking to him because he is an encyclopedia of NBA knowledge.

Anyway we stopped by Griffith Observatory for a quick pic.

Why do you think they just rearranged the letters to arrive at the other model name?
