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

A typical stretch of the aptly named Strava segment "Jackson Springs Rollers" (between Foxfire Village, NC and Jackson Springs, NC on Jackson Springs Road).

This is 11 miles into the southern terminus of the Natchez Trace Parkway in Mississippi. It looks flat, but it isn't.

Brings back memories! I lived in Tucson in the middle 1980s and we rode that all of the time. Back then, most of Tucson did not have the extensive network of bike lanes that now exist.

Not a road bike, but my Surly Steamroller fixed gear. Also not technically a road, more of an MUP ahead picture. This is one of my favorite places to ride, on any bike. Pic was taken December 2018.
