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

My Sunday ride...




Distance: 10.01 miles
Time: 42 minutes
Average Speed: 14.5 mph
Max Speed: 33 mph


It was a good ride. I only had to stop once for something other than a stoplight. The climb right at 3 miles I just wasn't gonna make it to the top. I was almost there, but the last couple hundred feet weren't gonna happen unless i stopped. I had a few near stops (<8mph) but fought through them.

That looks like mapmyride.com... Decent site for mapping. It gives you a turn by turn cue sheet as well.

Nice ride too!

Mike
