A new thread about cycling
Social Bacon:
I got bored yesterday and went on an adventure with my bike and my camera, I'm in the process of editing the images now. I'll post them in a bit.

Mad, that's what. I once drove my car through a flood, with my wife and three children in it, after dark (there was no other way home; the radio was saying not to travel). The water swamped the engine, so I used the starter motor to wind the car out to the other end (about 50 yards), by which point the water was a couple of inches deep in the inside of the car. It then took 20 minutes (in the dark) to get the electronics dry enough for the car to be able to run again. I wasn't entirely popular until we got home...
As for cycling though those floods - I just wore beach sandals and rolled my jeans up to the knee.

The roads near my house are really crazy hilly. In 12.5 miles I had at least 120 ft of elevation change. I looked it up online at mapmyride.com, which is useful for figuring out distances, routes, and elevations.

Man, I biked this road in the middle of my 22.5 yesterday called 7 hills road. It didn't lie. Seven. Massive. Hills.

I did another short one today, 10.75 miles, with my dad. It's great having someone to ride behind in the wind. It's amazing how much a difference riding in someone's slipstream is.

I guess I'm going to build my next bike. I really like the look of the Diamondback mountain hardtail overdrive pro '08 and I love my current diamondback, it's really tough, but I don't need a lot of the stuff on there like disc brakes.
