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

What am I getting from you as a house warming gift? The greatest hits of Dvorak? He might be an ancestral relative. My antecedents come from eastern Europe.

Need to see the house to make a determination.

You're safe from me. Snow wouldn't let me ride much at all, and doubt it will melt enough to play during the weekend. Of course, I did triple up last week, along with likely having the top speed.....

@datlas My van is at the Honda dealer for service and saw this cutie with 32,000 miles on it. It’s no Saturn, but…

Parts Box of the Day

Three boxes ordered Sunday afternoon. Coming from Tennessee, California, and Taiwan. Guess which one got here first.

Originally, I had this F and coming M off so I could take care of Lilly while Liz went to Cancun for my sister's bachelorette party, which has been canceled. I felt both terrified and excited about that at the same time. Terrified since it would be the longest I've had to take for baby without mom (she's 5.5 months), excited because I would have felt proud about holding down the fort and giving Liz a nice long break, which she deserves.
I can’t recommend Cancun for anything at all, frankly. The debil’s playground. I was gonna say except for flying out, but I can’t even recommend that. It is truly sad what has become of that entire coastline.

40 mi MTB group ride with 4,000' planned for Sunday, only a few miles of pavement, sweet.





Not sure about that lime green top cap.... the shop had it on the shelf and I wanted something cute. Might need something else.
That should read Santa Cruz by now. What’s with this Fezzari shiite?

That Fezzari marks the end of an era though.
