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

Men naturally fear that color. Too similar to Tiffany's blue. Stomache starts churning and fears of commitment race through their mind. Will it be the last bike I get to ride for the rest of my life?

I didn't see any rule saying that it cannot be a vintage bike.



Fox River Trail, somewhere around Batavia/Geneva.

After I went around I stopped and cleared away the smaller limbs and rolled the smaller rock to the side in cases anyone on foot or bike decided to ride through here although bike traffic on the river's edge is pretty uncommon... only saw one track and looks like whoever was riding got stuck and was swerving all over the place trying to maintain control on what is clay based mud.

With the river being rather low it opens up some new possibilities for adventure that are not always possible.

A little pond on the edge of my subdivision. We road out to it on our way back from my wife's longest ride ever. We would have been at 18 but she wanted to make it 20 so we rode out a little further. We ended up with 22 miles. (Her previous best was 14 miles.)
