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

Kinda barely right? The gravel crowd is way looser about things ... a kludge of misfits.

Running lap or bicycle cycling lap. That's important information.

Yes. That's how I knew I was not yet healed. I was planning to race that day.

I try not to set expectations too high. I'm rarely disappointed.

Sweet. I'm slowly building up a network of friends and former team mates out there... mostly young skinny kids who it would be embarrassing it ride with in the presence of so much gravity.

I didn't Strava it, so it may not have even really happened.

I could actually get a new HardRock for about what it would cost to turn the Frankenbike back into a proper mountain bike.

Use any RSS feed extension for your browser of choice. I use "RSS Feed Reader" extension for Chrome. Install it. Go to CL and search desired parameters. Hit the Feed Reader button on the tool bar and confirm that you'd like to follow the search result feed. A little number will pop up on the Feed Reader button whenever you get a new match. You can track a bunch of searches simultaneously.
