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

Northern Kentucky ridge line road. There are some fantastic bike routes here, with extremely low traffic and a decent road surface. Lots of 300 foot climbs.

Creek valley road.

Unless your Porsche was setup for rallying, you’d likely destroy the suspension pretty quickly. This is not a good road for spirited driving in a sports car. There are others in the area that are fun, but not this one.

Is there some kind of biophysical dynamic at play here? Or are we just crooked?
