I hope Lance Armstrong doesn’t mind me sharing the title of his book for this blog entry. After all, he and I have a few things in common. For example, we will be riding our bikes on the same day and in the same easterly direction. Alas, I was never a competitive cyclist. And, Darryle […]
A site for sore thighs
