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

As expected, the girl's covid test came back negative. The most meaningful impact: I get to carry on with my ride as usual, during preschool tomorrow.

Oh we’re going to have to fix that. When you consider most threads are closed because of animosity, that loophole would allow combatants to continue hostilities.

As the recipient of some post-closure likes, I don't consider them hostilities.

Break the chain.

She figured out the Velo Vol model on how to game the Six Flags season pass system. Now that the secret is out, I expect they'll make changes next season.

They don't open the lobby anymore due to no help, so I haven't been to one in well over 2 years. Every once and a while the crave hits, but it's easy to drive by when the line is 15 cars deep.

$220 or so for 15 months of food and fun, you really can't beat that deal, as long as you don't bore easily

No. And it's closed during the winter so not even a full 12. You can still get lots of food, though.
