The country around Bishop (Calif.) is one of the more-beautiful spots in North America, IMO. Have been to the region dozens of times. And I'm always floored with the peacefulness and the grandeur of it all. At all seasons of the year, it can be stunning. Cycling through ... even on a double century ride ... has to be a great experience, even if the elevation, humidity and climbs make it a challenge.
