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

Your Ride Reports - August 2022

If you are new to posting on this thread, or if you are new to cycling, we welcome you! If you are returning from a previous thread, we welcome you, too.

This thread is for anyone who rides a bicycle ... or unicycle, tricycle, tandem, etc.

Are you an experienced road cyclist? Do you bike to work? Do you pull your children to the park? Do you ride weekends? Do you spin at home or in the gym? Is Zwift your thing? Do you race crits, ironman, or centuries? Touring? Audax/Randonneuring?
Or are you just starting out and remembering how much fun you had biking when you were a kid?

There are no set challenges - this is a mixed-ability / mixed-experience / everyone welcome group.

Just pick the target that you would like to achieve this month and post updates throughout the month as you work toward your target. We love seeing photos of your rides and hearing all about them.

Share your accomplishments with us.

I haven't cycled much this month, unfortunately, but this weekend ...

On August 27th I rode the Hotter'n Hell 100 in Wichita Falls. I rode the 100km route. You can read and see my ride at this link.

It wasn't too windy and I finished before the hottest time of the day.

Went up to Vermont over the weekend and did a RUSA 100km permanent one day.
Hills like those are a real change of pace for this flatlander. Challenging ride on a real nice day.

The following day I rode with 5 other club members on what was termed the Skunk Hollow ride. More hills; a good time was had by all.
