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

Rode my first Fixed Gear century yesterday

Started and finished.
Montgomery, AL Bike Club's Autumn Glassner challenge.
Nice ride through farms and ranchland south of town.
Mostly rolling about 3700' total.
Good folks, good tomato sandwiches.

Bull count was 21.

That is all.


Disclaimer: no records were harmed in the making of this accomplishment.
