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 a charity ride back in 1993. Smyrna to Dewey Beach, DE. We went through some rural areas that reminded me of the south. People living in trailers. Barefoot kids in overalls running out to watch us ride by. I’ll bet it’s a lot different now.

People in the south don't all live in trailers and run barefoot. Except perhaps in Tennessee.

We're not really acclimated to.the 104. We have one room with an air conditioner and we spend our afternoons in there. Outside of the month of May, that AC is rarely used.

We have mountains. We have water. We have most anything a person could want*--except for warmth during large parts of the year. Or the ocean. Or serious winter sports.
