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

Nice shots. I should ride more closer to sunrise or sunset to get that good lighting.

We couldn't work out why only one light was on in the tunnel and my mates ahead took this shot of me stopped and deciding if it was a good idea to continue...

Yeah man potentially scary situation

I remember something similar riding through a tunnel on a coastal road in Northern Catalunya,Spain:Going through the tunnel was the only option as i was heading South.But this sucker was about 1 km long and had no lights whatsoever.Caught in the middle,no lights, with the deafening sound of three 18-wheelers coming up behind you was scary :-/

Not so much the road ahead, but the road behind. To be fair though, the road ahead was just as empty

Forget tomorrow side with the open road.
Pulled apart for you.
In the window unlocked and left open.
For the rising sun taking you back home.
