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

I like your daily questions. Not sure if it's been done before, but I like it.

BTW, who won with the Paris-Roubaix picture from yesterday?

The pic is too small and there are no roads. My guess is that it's in Italy, but it could be anywhere.

Here is a guess because if anyone gets the question right... they know their mountains...

Col du Portet d'Aspet, where Armstrong's teammate, Fabio Casartelli, died in 1995 after crashing on a descent.

I'll guess it's the Madone, or the mountain on which the famous climb of the Madone is found.
