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

Kind of a typical weekend riding when the wind is blowing from the south and southeast, which for me means going around S. Tampa. On Saturday 36 miles and Sunday 40 miles.

After being sick for the last couple months, and what with it being winter, we haven't been out much since April.

It was a beautiful sunny day with a high of about 13C and a bit of a breeze, and we rode the cycleway ... 26.75 km.

Some photos ...

I did 40 miles on Saturday...again I started at 0-dark-30. It's hard to beat watching the sun rise while pedaling.

190 for the week.
