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

I've seen that likeness before - my cousin's wife is from Rhinelander. Man, was that a long drive, to the middle of nowhere, for the wedding.

I don't want the answer until the game is over (no spoilers). If it is over, please tell me the answer.
As far as this particular post, I appear to be the only one who played today.

Another average day at Wordle.
Wordle 393 4/6

⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜
🟨🟩⬜⬜🟨
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I had a nice ride today. Longer than usual, about 65 miles. Started out unpromising, though - I rode the Canyon, which I hadn't ridden IRL for a while. It seems like on the trainer something gets onto the discs or the pads, and when I came up to the first stop sign, it took a LOT of force to slow down. So I turned, went around the block speeding up and then using the brakes repeatedly and it seemed to burn off. The rest of the ride, I had brakes, which is good considering the descent I did. It contains one steep, reverse-camber, decreasing radius turn, which is so bad there's actually a sign warning cyclists about it. Years ago, when the NorCal BF forum was very active and doing a lot of group rides, one of the group wiped out there. He didn't remember what happened, another rider came around the corner and there he was on the road with his bike stuffed under the guard rail. IIRC, he was a fast, but not necessarily a good descender.
