  • We are both now dead by the way.

  • More than dead. 





    and yes.  You can be *more* than dead.

    I cycled the infamous Nurburgring Nordschliefe a couple of years ago and the descent into a corner called Brunnchen remains to this day the fastest I've been on a bicycle.  Having driven it many times, the perspective from a bike saddle is very very different and a lot lot slower.
