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.

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).

Thanks. I enjoy riding out here much more than in town. I'd love to start a cycling bed and breakfast out here -- except you fix your own breakfast, do your own laundry and you stay for free! In other words, I'd love to share this place with other cyclists and enjoy some company, but actually having a B & B sounds like real work to me.

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.

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.
