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

a perfect 54 degrees with no wind. The riding here is great and for the most part the roads where in very good condition but there were a few sections where i had to make sure my teeth were still intact lol.

PS i had to zoom in on the org picture but it was 54/24 lol so Large/Second to Largest.

Where's that 18% grade of fun? I'm from Searcy and would hate to miss out on that kind of fun. BTW, were you in Bike City this morning talking to the mechanic about the local bicycling scene?

Its on Turkey Mtn Road in the middle of BFE outside of beebe / Antioch area. Yep that was me, what a small world.

PS its fairly short from bottom to top is only .3 Mi but you gain 400' in elevation in that distance.
