These are from the 50-mile loop around the northern half of Lake Washington. The first is looking at Mt. Rainier from a park on Lake Washington, and the second is looking back at Mercer Island over the I-90 Bridge (same bridge that the Seattle Danskin tri people ride across). It's a gorgeous ride.

WOW - Salsa you have FALL. I miss fall. Here we have 3 colors, green, tan and dead.
Those pics are beautiful. I'm thinking I want to go to Washington.

That does it: my husband and I have to find assignments on the west coast and relocate.

This is at 1,000 feet on the North Gate Rd., Mount Diablo. It's a 9% grade here.

Wow, Veronica, that tree has such a creepy Halloweeny look, to go along with the scary 9% grade, I guess.

I definitely live in the wrong part of the country. There is nothing scenic-maybe if i drive to WV? Where I ride there is; concrete, buildings, asphalt, concrete, smog....I need to move.

OK - lake zurich round.
start in Zurich....
along the right hand shore... (up in the hills is nice too)
cross the dam...
now if you feel strong, you go up Etzel. A real killer at over 10% with one 17% grade mixed in. I once broke down crying up there, but finished after eating something.
if not, leisurely back up the lake with 3 rollers interspersed.
the rest of the route is pictorialized here:http://www.dominikscheder.org/2005-1...uerisee-1.htmlIt's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
