    hee-hee-hee... and:

    "Finally, hills. Before the road tilts up, scope out some strong, beefy riders who are good bike handlers. They tend to be steady if unspectacular climbers. More important, they descend like an anvil off a cliff. Hang on, limpet-like, while they tow you back to the 97-pound mountain goats off the front."
    Oww.... these guys have got me figured out to a T...

    Always remember that age and treachery will beat youth and skill any derned day of the week
