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

By the looks of the forecast, we won't need to tap into any of Our Tennessee reserves.

Rear tire issue on my morning ride. I took the Paramount because I don't really trust my brake hack on the Trek. Thumpathumpathump. The bead was popping out of the rim. Did a side of the road fix until I could do a better job at a better place.

Note to self - avoid eastern Tennesse on May 22. The crowds will be maddening.
