Cycling Story
This is a good page that talks about a ride Sen. Kerry took while out in Colorado last week for the DNC.

Nice post

2. Interesting!
Once again I'm amazed. And here I thought I was doing good when I do an 11 mile ride on level ground at 15 mph.

Can someone tell me about bikers shaving their legs? :wtf:

4. Shaved legs cut down on wind resistance
therefore increasing speed. Of course having a bike that only weighs a few pounds doesn't hurt either ;). Nor does the fact that JK is just a naturally talented (and highly completive) rider.

This is a great read!

3. Excellent!
The wind-surfers know he's cool, too.
All the cool people know he's cool.
It's just the UNcool people who don't get it.

5. just regular people
he can get along with anyone. remember the story about the soldier he spend the day with. none of it involved politics but just two people hanging out together and having a good time.

he met Marvin the same way didn't he ? at some store discussing surfing ?
