WSJ spoiler. Don't look if you read the paper.
Ok. You've been warned.
It's also tough to look tough on a BMW. What's Your Workout: It's Tough Exercise to Look Tough on a Bike - WSJ.com Last edited by CoffeeGuy; 01-24-2012 at 10:56 AM.. |

I work out 4 days a week at the gym and run a little and nothing is even close to what I get out of riding hard off road. I can go through 2-3 liters of water in a day of riding....just on the trail....then a lot of beer after that....a lot of beer.
Having said that, I have never worked out 5 hours either... more like 45 min.

I looked at the pictures of the bike, read the first paragraph or two and went back to the pictures and gave up. The article was about this guy riding off road. But then the pictures show a street BMW. Maybe I didn't read enough of the article.
I subscribe to the WSJ but sometimes -like with the "car" column - they are off the mark.

Pinelands? Yeah ok but they forgot to mention ticks that dig in like a pit bull on a steak.
