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

After nearly a year of it being turned into a gravel un-rideable mess, a road near my house has FINALLY been repaved.

^ kitchen creek is definitely a fave here in san diego co. über-low vehicle traffic and great scenery-especially once the road tilts upward where you took the
picture. i always makes me imagine i'm riding in the vuelta in spain on that lower stretch.

I took this a couple of weeks ago. Typical summertime smoke, it seems that somewhere is always ablaze.

OK, I'm pushing it a bit, but a trail is kind of a road, and it is empty (that car is not on the trail) , and up ahead. And there is a trail, on the right. Let me slide, OK?
