Our country is densely populated, and while things were better during the first couple of COVID-19 months, everyone is back on the road these days. Had to wait a couple of minutes before the OAP's on their e-bikes were out of the way and I could take this shot:

You won't regret it, the parc des volcans is of unforgettable beatuy, IMO. For an 8 hour high definition livestream of this area, check out the upcoming TdF stage Clermont-Ferrand / Puy Marie!

I’ve been checking out the logging roads east of Seattle...long,quiet roads. On Sunday I saw 2 bikers and a couple dozen 4x4s...and a few gun “enthusiasts”.

There are 3 types of roads here in NW Wisconsin, 2020. The individual roads in each type pretty much look the same. And pretty much always open, so nice up here.

Even have a coffee house in Cable, population 400-ish, for cycling folks. Better than where I live with a population of 40,000-ish. All I get there is "get off the f***ing road".
