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

Roscoe approves of the deck. He can adequately rule his empire from this elevated position.

Equal teams. Rigged only in that East Coasters are more serious cyclists.

My teammate, Mike seen here after winning the fatbike race yesterday. I'm sure it was even muddier today.
At first glance on a small screen, it looked like he is holding an empty plastic cup.

There are usually full plastic cups after a particular run-up on that course.

It's a nice place in the hills inland from the Ventura coast. Expensive real estate and it gets pretty hot there. My ex wife and I used to ride there from home for overnighters, sometimes with another couple, about 75 mile each way. So much fun.
My friends drive to a remote start and ride there and back for a century a few times per year. It's a nice ride, lots of avocado and citrus trees, quiet back roads, and some long climbs and some steep ones, too. I have become such a wuss I haven't done it in 2 years.

What's with all of these fatbike pics?

I swear, most of the races feature actual cyclocross bikes.

Start of the Masters race. That's Mike out front.

The portion of land up for sale is about an hour away from Nashville International Airport in Maury County, sitting near the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway.
Some fine riding on the Trace, I'm told.
"For locals, they recognize the dreaminess of this, and also it’s just the perfect proximity to Nashville," she said. "It’s some of the prettiest country you’ll see in Tennessee."

That's either too little in the f or too much in the r IMO. Or maybe a little bit of both.
