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

RIP Dario Pegoretti

Dario, you’ll be missed. The cycling industry(and the world) is less interesting without you.

I remember him visiting Malaysia early this year but I didn't get a chance to meet and ride with him. RIP
