It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best since you have to sweat up 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 rememberance of a country you have driven throgh as you gain by riding a bicycle

Off into the wild blue/grey yonder (is that really a word?)

Cycling North from Vancouver this am, weather not too bad, currently 6 deg but should warm up a bit , tipping down yesterday afternoon so happy it's not wet. Bit concerned that it was a little chilly last night (in the bedroom of the hotel), doesn't bode too well for camping, still shouldn't have too many problems finding space in a campsite :)
