"Pick up the pace"

The only reason I'm posting this on the Commuting forum is that this is what greets me when I've got 1 mile left of my 15 mile commute home. Just before I climb my final hill, no less.

Makes me smile every day. Definitely adds value to my commute!

Minter, GA - about 8 miles east of Dublin. Gotta ask, where is Lewisville? I am familiar with Louisville . Just rode through there a few weeks ago, on my way to McCormick, SC.

That is classic! I read somewhere to always sprint the last part of your ride. I don't remember where I read it. I think one of the pros in a fitness magazine at jamba juice. That billboard is awesome!

The billboards I see are for topless bars and "Don't shake your baby" PSAs.

Older ones are easy enough to pass, but most of the newer ones have 30 MPH road gears.
