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

It was kind of a muddy day. Lost traction and couldn't get going again on the grade. I was actually catching up with those that were still pedaling.

No blackberries yet, but wild raspberries are starting to show up. I grabbed a few on yesterday’s ride during a brief rest stop. They were a little tart but still delicious.
