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

Careful pcad. Once you get back on the bike, you may want to lose a couple before you attempt this road. Pesky weight limit for cyclists seem to be in play.

My favorite part is: "Alcohol was believed to have been a factor in the incident."

Correct. I don't even like killing some kinds of insects, but sometimes it must be done.
