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 am sure that chair is comfortable, but is this something you keep around just so you can do mushrooms every now and then?

Side note: Nice jersey

I ordered a few things just to increase the wardrobe and decrease the laundry cycle. New Helmet (Giro Indicator), Sleeveless Fox Jersey (Medium), Short Sleeve Nashbar Earth Jersey (Medium), Canari Gel Cycling Shorts (Medium).


Also picked up the Shimano SPD Pedals from Wordbiker. Thanks again!

Thats next on the list. I know you can step up to more input options down the line as money comes in, but I think I might hold out until I can get a proper power management system or some insane 150 dollar deal...heh
