It reminds me of coming up the back side of Mt. Tamalpais on
Bolinas-Fairfax Road from Alpine Dam to Ridgecrest.

www.thepaceline.com sez:
PS - Several readers have asked about the music from the
commercial - here's the inside word from the
commercial's producer: "It's an original score by a
music house in Los Angeles we work with quite a
bit... we supply ideas, inspiration and direction
with various tracks and then work with them scoring
to picture."

Probably won't show up on iTunes anytime soon, then.

I remember one of the first discs Mavic made. Aluminum.
Heavy bastards. Like two heavy gauge woks welded together.
Of course the prevailing logic at the time was that heavy
was good, as it would help to cancel out any fluctuations in
speed. Mavic then went on a few years later to create the
Comete ± where you could actually add steel weights to the
outer perimeter of the disc for the same [bad] reason.

Reminds me of one of those things you do as a kid. My
brother and I found we could open a Sears tire pump and fill
it with water. It was only a matter of time until we were
cruising around with waterfilled tires. It took some time to
get one of those big old bikes (what they'd call cruisers
today) up to speed, but man could they coast!
