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

Last monday I organized a watertower chase contest for myself, which I also participated 🤫.
I did a 37km roundtrip with my bicycle and I found the tower first 😎.

Don't need to explain all the preparation, planning, research and exploration that came along with this major event in my life.

Feel free to subscribe to the Watertower Appreciation Society Group on Facebook!
And so this tower appears in the cover art of my latest track "Houston, we found The Tower"
You can find it on streaming platforms such as YT:

Mount Hamilton, from the east approach. Roads empty, but the 120 Inch dome lies ahead! This was a satisfying acheivment. now I need to tick off Diablo and Tamalplais this season. Bought the jersey at the gift shop as a souvenir.
