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

Twas The Night Before Davis...

and I should be sleeping, but I'm excited! They told me 850 riders at check in tonight, should be perfect weather and a great ride. I've got some bumps and bruises, a sore muscle just above the knee in my right leg and a tendon bothering me in my right ankle so I have no idea if I'll finish (...oh yes I will... ), so I'm setting off at 4am and looking forward to a nice relaxing ride in the California sunshine...about damn time!!! Good luck to all you other riders, I know this is a big ride for first time double century riders, have fun, that's what it's all about! Cheers!
