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

Not quite the empty road ahead, but that's Haleakala in the background viewed from Makena beach side.

First there was the UCI weight limit, and now THIS! Note that I was not carrying water bottles just to stay on the safe side. This is Woodland Circle in Foxfire Village, NC (Pinehurst area - south central NC). dave

Snow in the hills to the east. Pretty unusual for Central California.

Sadly, chip seal is an A+ surface for most Michigan roads these days. As long as it is reasonably fresh new.

Lucky duck. I'm sitting here in my office in Richmond for the last 7 hours wishing I were "sick" and riding outside in short sleeves.

Here was my view last week, riding in the Outer Banks while with family for the holiday. Pretty much deserted this time of year, which is simultaneously eerie and wonderful. This is from Kitty Hawk.
