Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Part of the rideable section of abandoned PA Turnpike that is now a recreation trail. Doesn’t get any emptier. BTW...That tunnel portal was a filming location for “The Road,” starring Viggo Mortensen.

This photo really takes me back. I live in Utah, but I'm very familiar with this area. A company I used to work for designed and managed the construction of most of the materials handling systems and the aggregate plant at the A.R. Wilson Quarry. Thanks for the flashback!

I'll be riding this stretch later this morning.....a portion of Happy Valley Road, south of Sequim, Washington. The climb at the end of this is tougher than it looks in the pic. I ride this route fairly often and I'm a happy guy when this climb is behind me.
