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

Finally, Going to the Sun Road - got in two bucket list rides on our recent road trip - Going to the Sun Road and Beartooth Highway - with an added really nice ride in the Badlands. btw, I did make it to Logan Pass despite doubts expressed when I recorded this video.

Went up a local mountian pass to ride a loop back down. Little did I know I would have to climb again and back-track several miles and return the way I came up.

Talk about empty…

An earlier post with skid marks on the road reminded me of this scene from my last bike ride. Some yahoos did a donut and knocked down the stop sign. Sorry not quite empty road, but this is the best I could do on a busy state road. Also of note, as soon as I put my phone/camera down a bear ran across the road. He missed being in the picture by two seconds.

Clay County MN Highway 11. Zinnias in front of sugar beets. Then a couple of sections (square miles) of sunflowers a few miles up the road.

Up Kellogg is my last little bit usually when coming home from riding in Washington county. It doesn’t look like much but sucks after 50-75 of gravel.
