Nothing happens in this book, they say. But -- but -- but -- I sputter. He BUILDS A WORLD!!<br /><br />I'm a sucker for utopian novels. I once designed an entire class (Utopian/Dystopian Literature, it was called, and every Goth kid in Pocatello, Idaho signed up for it, all eight of them) just so I could teach nothing but. Sigh.

Just as my daughter's swim lessons honor micro-accomplishments too subtle for real swimmers to perceive, there's value for the occasional rider or runner in naming the little conquests that are within first reach.Vance Maverickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477306994564623348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-52756841778264984652011-06-11T08:13:58.348-07:002011-06-11T08:13:58.348-07:00Hmm, glad it worked.

I don't use it a lot, because most of my rides are pretty much familiar, and I have a computer to give me distance, and no hills that pretend to be categorized. But I wanted to see how far I'd run, and as long as the elevation thing is there, I used it. I would have thought the hill would have to be longer to be categorized. Maybe it's just a program thing and not how it actually works on bike races?Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-23810743294197690192011-06-11T08:10:42.202-07:002011-06-11T08:10:42.202-07:00Ah, evidently a transient problem -- it's work...Ah, evidently a transient problem -- it's working now.

It was a short one with a hill, in a well-known city full of cyclists. But "There was an error retrieving the elevation." Does this normally work for you?Vance Maverickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477306994564623348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-20412811972094759772011-06-11T07:55:13.434-07:002011-06-11T07:55:13.434-07:00I love them!

And then my bike calls out. But, I really have fun with them, especially when I go out on a trail, because you can really feel the softness of the trail and such. (Gravel isn't fun.) They're not quite as fun on asphalt (when I run from home), but still way more fun than shoes (during winter, because, BRRRRRR).Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-12520892518387671102011-06-10T21:05:51.859-07:002011-06-10T21:05:51.859-07:00A question!
