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

Very few walkers or bicyclists are out enjoying one of the last 50 degree days in the Twin Cities!

Also, do you have to worry about super cars? Some guy driving a buggati doing 200 mph would end your bike ride real quick.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is currently closed for weather at the higher elevations, but one fun thing about WNC is that the weather might be terrible in one spot but perfectly decent in another. It was 60F and partly cloudy where I took this shot:
