'Scuse the poor pic....this is part of my favourite ride...along the waterfront in Victoria. The seaside roads, Beach Drive and Dallas Rd wind their way along those bays and points down to the harbour. A breeze usually blows off the water, so it's a great route to cool down on after a long hot ride. Sometimes, it's the only ride I do just because of the scenery.

Wow Popoki. Thats gorgeous.

Wow- these pics are just amazing! If it weren't for the blasted winter, I'd love to live in the mountains. Just breathtaking...
Here are two from my little square of the world. The first one is at the lake I ride around a lot. The second one is from the countryside where I also ride a lot. It's Oklahoma- flat and barren, but pretty and peaceful to me.

Here's my So Calif scene. Apologies, as it was a foggy, ugly morning when I took these pictures.

The first shot is my home town and starting point (Torrance Beach).
If you look South, you are looking at some hill climbing on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. If you look North, the beach bike path runs about 20 miles to Santa Monica. This path parallels a second bike path on a segment called The Esplanade, which is located right next to the bern (you can kinda see it). The Esplanade was used as the final stage in the Amgen Tour of California. Both the beach bike path and the Esplanade are very crowded on weekends, but during the mornings you can reach a pretty high speed without problems. You go through many different kinds of neighborhoods on the beach bike path, some very urban (like Venice Beach), some suburban (like this one) and some very isolated stretches where there is nothing except you, the sand, and the seagulls.

The second shot is a side view of part of the ascent of the "PV Hill", which will give you an idea of the grade. (This ascent is easier than the east, which is steeper and contain some wicked switchbacks.) There is also hiking and MTBing trails, as you can see.

The third shot is going up and when you reach the top, you are rewarded by lush, rolling hills and well-kept bike lanes. There are plenty of horse paths and runner paths which are kept away from the bikes, which is nice. Cyclists kinda "rule" this area on weekends, so most motorists are pretty good about being courteous. There are plenty of places to stop and admire the view of the Catalina islands (if it weren't so darn foggy) and the sheer vastness of the Pacific Ocean. Definitely a nice place to ride!

I am on vacation. Here is todays ride. The first pix was taken on the Coastal Bike Path between my hotel in Monteceito and Santa Barbara (BikePath). The second pix was taken from the Santa Barbara Harbor. The last two were taken at Arroyo Burro Beach, one facing the beach and the other facing the mountains. As you can see it was an overcast day, but I still had a great ride, georgeous scenery. (I can't figure out how to past the pic in the message so I attached them instead).

The pics are GORGEOUS! It's so much fun to see where everyone rides &/or lives. Attached are a couple pics from my annual trip to Colorado. The first is near the top of 14,135 ft. Mt. Evans during the annual Mt. Evans Hill Climb. No, I did not ride - I took the picture! (Check out the "dog" in the clouds!)

The second is on Swan Mtn. Rd. near Keystone.

I don't have any pics of local rides with me (I'm doing this at work)but I will bring some next week & post. Keep the pictures coming!

Here's some pics from a 24 mile ride near our home today. First country ride on my new bike. First are my BeeLady socks; then some "rollers" which I call hills before i make it over them and I'm feeling whinny, and then hill looking down on our two barns (trees are in way of seeing our small country home).

Wow Lauren - that is not at all what I imagined Texas would look like ( I think I have been watching too many old movies).

What a lovely area to ride in.
