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

Another great ride which, once again, didn't record. Down a back road to a village I hadn't been to. The road wasn't in great shape but the scenery was beautiful. The scenery gave the impression that that area gets more rain than this area.
I once again forgot to take a pump.

You can always add layers to be warmer. It's annoying, but doable. But if it's 101, you could take off enough clothes to get you arrested and it's no relief.

I had it setup with the lever facing me, and the clapper on the bottom. That way I could stand and nudge it with my knee to ding it.

Reminds me of a ditty.
