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

Heading east on Kaiserstraße, Lorch, Germany, looking to the SE at Hohenstaufen Berg...a murderous 17% gravel climb, which was joined by two more of similar grade and loose surface, about an hour after this was taken.

My dreary Monday morning commute ... back down the hill for some breakfast and a nap, after a couple hours of climbing. No else around for miles, I love it.
