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 wouldn't pay 30 cents for a cutout so you're asking the wrong person.

You would probably die if you tried to buy a drink at a professional sporting event.

Danke. I hope the gravel road that goes 1/3 of the way up that hill, then traverses it is public. Looks like a must-ride!

That gravel road is a bust

Might be a fun gravel on 23mm diversion on a road ride.

Wenatchee is an interesting place. There's an old feel to it, and even has the main street downtown thing going on, even though it's definitely on the upswing. There's good riding, and neat places in that area, as I'm sure you know

Good luck on the gig!

I do love the town even though I've only spent the night there once, but dropped in to eat lunch numerous times. The closest riding I've done was MTB up at Lake Wenatchee, and the big rails-to-trails, Palouse to Cascades down south of there.

Thanks
