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

Actually I stopped to take pictures, rode back down part of it, rode up some more, took more photos...

So yeah, looking to go back. I know some of the names on the segment and think I can get into the top 20.

I like the look of Dura-Ace 9000, and I definitely notice that it works better than Ultegra 6800. 6800 is nice, but I notice a big difference.

Looks very, very nice. So nice I can almost ignore the Oakley decal.
