Cider House Rules, right? I loved that book! My first multi-day bike tour was in New England--in Vermont, to be exact. Big news--Vermont is so NOT flat! Fortunately, I lived in New Jersey then, so I'd been able to train on some hills. Now that I live in flat old Florida, I bet those Vermont hills would kill me.

But I also wanted to add that people on bike paths take the prize for getting the way of cyclists. I guess because there are no cars on the paths, they figure they can just wander around blindly, or let their kids do so. Knuckleheads.
