In my version, I say that "something there is that loves a hill." Allan, Thaddeus and Gabriel... and everyone else out there who loves cycling—short trips, long trips, easy trips, challenging trips... what kind of poem variation might we drum up to sing of pot holes and of desert sand? —Michael (who is prone to hum the same tune for miles and miles and miles) Over the years, when cycling sustained elevation gain, I sometimes humor myself by reciting my own variation of a familiar Robert Frost poem.

The next time I plop-clunk-jar-thud over a pot hole, I will think of the three of you. Perhaps minor defects in the surfaces of some city streets are an unintended invitation for a mini adventure.
