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

Definitely the overseas highway in the Keys, is that the start of the original 7 mile bridge?

Not the 7 mile bridge, but it's part of the original railroad bridge built by Flagler. This shot is somewhere around milepost 14.

My friend snapped this pic of me climbing through the tea plantations of Uji. Unfortunately 1 km up the road turned to mud.

Nice. If you're interested, there's an excellent book about the construction of the original rail route called "Last Train to Paradise". I read it a few years ago and really enjoyed it, definitely made me appreciate the route a bit more when I'd drive to Key West.

I hate windmills too. But I like electricity and hate global warming. A conundrum, as well.

Too many of them and we'll have no wind left.
