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

I decided to skip my normal lunch and just have an orange.

Of course, it was a chocolate Christmas orange.

No ride in the pre-front blow. All day editorial board meeting with bad food and no coffee.

That's because you met Velo Vol in person. Maybe you'll recover.

I can't imagine carrying a bassoon in a marching band, but I suppose people do. You can get a neck strap, after all.

new bars feel amazing. Position felt really good, and the 40 cm width didn’t feel too small.

I suspect I may want a longer stem in the future. I didn’t feel cramped but it would hurt to stretch out just a little bit more.
