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

Looks like most of the 2020 KCB concerts will be flushed down the toilet. Sad.

I love the Daryl's House recordings. I never thought much of Hall and Oates, but I love Daryl's House performances.

Yeah, don't know if I'll ever get the century bug again. Before Corona my Saturday club rides were between 65 and 80 miles. Seemed like enough.

The New Years Day ride I've done the most is Mount Wilson. I think I've done it 16 times but it's only 65 miles the way I do it. Sometimes we have to shorten due to snow or ice. Couple years ago it was 22 degrees when we turned around to descend.

Same, but I did see Hall and Oates on TV once and I was mocking them until my friend pointed out how good they were live.

There was a winter, probably eight years ago, when I did a century 3 weeks out of four, for a few months. I just had it that winter.
It's been at least four since I last did one.

Clapton is one of those. His studio stuff pretty much stinks. Live not so much

Showing my age here. I play this for my grandchildren. I especially like Toad. The grandkids yawn and roll their eyes.

I guess I'm a little older than you. I remember when Rich Girl was their hit song, but I have older brothers that were into the Allman Brothers, and the Dead(so I was mocked relentlessly for listening to that Pop Music Cheese).

I'm 66 and I loved the Fillmore East Allman Brothers album. The Dead were ok, but not one of my favorites. Funny, I like Leslie West more now than back when. I could listen to him solo until my ears bleed.

Technically, you are old enough to be my daddy. Too old to be in the Hall & Oates demographic.

My brothers took me to my first concert 8/13/77(Yes at the Boston Garden) when I was 9. My brothers were babysitting while my folks were at a church retreat, and a friend of their's came by with with 4 tickets he won.

Mom just heard about this a few years ago..

I wondered why you thought you were older. My first concert was The Mothers of Invention at Pauley Pavilion at UCLA in 1971. 3 solid hours of great vocals and musicianship. I haven't seen a lot of concerts but that one I will always remember.

I thought you were too young to know Hall & Oates from their 80s hits. You were too old to listen to Pop Music in the mid 80s.
