FYI - I have found some *very* attractive local roads that offer both challenge and opportunities to go really, really fast.
I've assembled a loop that is about 30 miles in length that includes some great windies, some riverbottom sprint zones, and a few hills.
On one of the sprints, I hit 138, uphill with a quartering headwind. Woohoo!
I heartily recommend that we convene some weekend soon at my place and do the loop. Interest check!
