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

There was an accident at head office.
Somebody faxed them a report about some new prototype carbon fibre water bottle cage bolts.
And they all fainted from excitement.

There were major storms throughout parts of the country with serious wind gusts, so unfortunately it got blown away.

Apparently they replaced it with a steel server since it seems to be working now.

Learn German. It will be a nice skill to learn when Germany and China invade again.

You vill read it in Cher-mann, and you vill enjoy it. Verstehen?


Or, maybe all the server hits from JackXXX's porn star site links took it down? After all, he is a former National team rider, race team owner, cop, fireman, and now porn star, and all around very fast guy. All that at as a Cat 3, too! We won't even talk about cutting off the ends of his handlebars to save a few grams while riding Spinergy wheels. I mean the guy has "383,000 logged training and race miles" to date.

Go to your user's control panel if it hasn't already been corrected site-wide (they said this morning they were going to change it).
