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

Wish I knew why, but last night - 56RHR and 78BB. See how running goes when the sun comes up.

The B24 was a flying disaster.

I paid $100 for the bike, complete, and $600 for the couplers, a few years later.

$1150
I’ve never paid more than $300 for a frame set. I paid that amount twice, for the Paramount and for the Trek 930.
Those two are effectively the only two bikes I ride.

Each show follows a single patient for a year and they are required to lose weight before any surgery is performed. They are also asked to see a therapist. Some succeed, some don't.

btw, the third heaviest person ever known was a Mexican named Manuel Uribe who was as high as 1300 pounds.
In case it is unclear, I live a very sheltered life.

Crappy ancient steel, that rusts, and frames that take 80's wheels, with only 6 cogs in the back and minimal room for larger tires. . And no dics breaks on any of them.

So where were you when I needed this sort of sound advice ? You know, before I ended up in this predicament.
I have only three hanging. And no place to put them once built up.

They said that about the B26, until they learned that they were not designed for low altitude missions. Dad loved that airplane.

Read fate is the hunter. The b24 did not want to fly, it was a chore to get it into the air and land.

Almost four miles. Slow, but HR didn't creep over 160 until the climb home. Maybe -maybe- doing a little better. So frustrating.
