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 live in the North East and this thread makes me depressed. This extra long winter is keeping me indoors.

The picture with the hay was taken on a morning commute
The little church I found on my way to Bad Toelz
And the brewery is the Privatbrauerei Aying

I rode a pink and purple girl's huffy in Croatia while deployed in support of Provide Comfort in '93. The Huffy's were all the Morale Welfare and Recreation had at the time.

"^^croatia just went on my list of places to tour someday. beautiful!"
Everybody have my greetings ,but I am sorry about Croatian drivers , they are not very considerate about cyclist.
By the way ,if anybody get on bike tour trough Croatia contact me ,I may at least drink a beer with you if don't manage to find you accommodation.

Riding in Bedford, PA over the weekend. 75 degrees, maybe 5 cars in 2 hours, 15 mph tailwind allowing me to hold 28-30mph for long stretches... Perfect day.

I made sure my outbound miles were into the wind so I'd breeze along on the way home. The first half of the ride sucked, but it was worth it.

Ha, that's what I usually try to do and then the wind changes on me and I'm screwed either way.

For whatever reason, every morning my commute into work is into the wind and by the time I leave to go home, it's changed and I have a headwind again. If we ever move, I'm buying a house on the other side of town.
