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

Let's Get RyanF a Garmin

How about you chip in the full $400 and get it for him yourself. Let us know how that works out.

Or that. Some of you probably give more than $10 to your kids who then spend it on weed.

So basically you're asking for $400 in installments of $10 so that you can buy some stuff for yourself.

Did you bump your head again riding through the construction on rt.252?
Carter,we never established if Ryanf was a real entity.While I enjoyed his threads,I still feel some doubtfullness if he really exists.
Please do not base your race training program on his unorthodox methods:

After numerous invites(including yours) this Ryanf never appeared in person to anyone,just a vague,distorted, shaded self photograph of a buzz-cut skinney kid posted here.
Show me the documentation?

Depends really, Michigan can have its fair share of deep hills. Its fairly flatish from the bottom but as you go north you start to see some bigger hills, and steeper grades.
