The Oregonian



There's a point in a bike race when a cyclist is fully extended -- muscles

screaming, heart thundering, the copper taste of blood in the back of the

throat. Ideally, this occurs when the finish line is ahead and the crowd is

roaring.



Hmmmmmm... I recall the taste of other things... but defintely not copper. :^)
