Well, this isn't exciting, but I thought I'd post a few pics of my neighborhood where I do so much riding. I've figured out various loops of 2 to 4 miles, or I incorporate those loops into other rides.
This wide street is actually a bike route -- about 2-3 miles of it are through this shady residential neighborhood.
Views from a couple of bridges that cross creeks:
And one of the side streets that dumps into the bike route. Not one of the bigger hills, but at the end of the ride I feel it:
As I said -- not exciting, but that's the 'hood!

Nice pictures! Now I can imagine where you are riding. Those trees look lovely to ride under.
thanks for posting the pics. Hey, maybe we should all post pictures of our 'Hoods.
Not my neighborhood, but it is along a bike path I ride:

These are pictures from the fall. Maybe I should go for a ride and take some spring pictures... mmmm, bike ride....Last edited by KnottedYet; 05-06-2007 at 07:23 PM.

Right about where the Burke Gilman links up with the Sammamish. Kinda Kenmore-ish. The bridge is at Bothell Landing.

Those pics are making it very hard to sit in a classroom today. My, how I love the trees and beautiful spots in your pics. I miss trees-shrubs living in the plains state. Pooks, your hangout looks very inviting, especially on warm days.
