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 did my longest ride on Saturday,,,it was called the Tour De Kale in Denton, NC. I was 86th out of 126 riders. I have been riding for 5 months, so I am really proud of my results. This was a very hilly course with one hill that required my lowest gear and I was actually picking up the front tire as I climbed. It was tough.

I guess it will just take lots of riding to get into the 20+ average speed. I am now doing 19mph average.

Later...Scott
