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

Got the time it takes for me to put contacts on down to about 15 mins. So that’s something.
Chapeau!

If you find yourself on a gravel road, odds are that something went (terribly) wrong.

Got up early and got in a quick ride this morning . There was almost no traffic once outside of Asheville, of course this was at 7AM on Sunday. I am thinking everyone is either sleeping it off and/or getting ready for church.

What about car wheels on a gravel road?

Picked up a new bike today... for my son. His bday is at the end of the month and he's outgrown the bike that we got for him a few years ago. He'll be 11, and we were tempted to go with a 26" adult bike in an XS frame size, but REI had an aggressive sale going on for kid's bikes, so we ended up getting a 24" for him. It'll probably only fit him this year and next, but we figure that he doesn't beat up his bikes, so we should be able to recoup 70-80% of what we paid when we sell it in a couple years.

A couple of weeks ago, for whatever reason, the YouTube algorithms recommended a video featuring some snooker highlights. I didn't even know how snooker was played, at the time, but I'm a sucker for excellence, so I watched and went down a bit of a rabbit hole. Now I'm hitting refresh on a web page, watching the frame-by-frame recap and pulling for Ronnie O'Sullivan to take home a record-tying 7th World Championship. Oy vey.
