You get an imprint of the big chain ring on your calf muscle...
You look at a lane as your driving by and longingly lament that lovely warm summers day when you were stomping along it...

When you watch other 'sports' and start shouting at the TV if they show signs of fatigue and impunity...
When you bonk big time, you cannot stop staring at the bottom bracket 'cos there must be something wrong with the effing thing...seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

+1 on the attractive female on a bike ,
checking out the bike long before moving upwards and appreciating the rider , along with the choice of kit which does at least show an interest in womens clothes as opposed to a generic "that looks nice".Enigma Esprit Di2 - Go tI ! Summer !0
