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

New thread idea 2:

Do you match your bar, stem, and bar tape to your finishing tape?

But some posters here are on IG and have a hint where that is. It's a tougher Geoguesser than the Covington one.
