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

I'm on a non-bike riding family vacation this week in SC, but lots of walking in the woods are in store. Saturday was spent all day driving...ugh. Sunday we went to Keowee-Toxaway State Park in SC. for a short walk. A little damp, but pleasant.


Monday another walk to some waterfalls in the Dupont State Forest in NC. This is the area were they filmed The Hunger Games and The Last Of The Mohicans.


Looks like a great bike riding area here and have seen some large groups of cyclist out, but alas not for me.

117 miles, 4000' climbing on the tandem Sunday. Beautiful warm day, well hot for us at 85°, good heat training, good mostly quiet roads, just a wonderful day. Pulled 3 riders on singles the whole way. They were also supposedly training for the 1-day STP or RAMROD, but had a heckuva time with food and hydration and weren't quite able to finish. We had to take them to our house and thence back to their cars in our truck. It's time to get busy riding!

myself and three my other buddies did 100km ride on Sunday around Yamaska lake south/east Quebec near Granby area. Good feeling. My very first metric century rid, was a bit conservative speed/effort vise as I didn't know what to expect (my longest was 85km in the past). Cheers

Edit: Not the best picture, but this sight greeted me as I rounded a bend on one of those roads. Left to right, Mounts Rainier, St. Helens and Adams in Washington State.
