WOW! I love the wind mills.
Check. Add the Netherlands as another place I've got to visit. Thanks for the pics!
As for all of the other pics, I've definitely got to get serious about moving somewhere else. And soon.

Houston, Texas sux.
I know there is a reason I live here, but after checking out all these beautiful pictures, I am having a hard time remembering the reason!

It was a lovely morning for a ride and wonky hamstrings bedamned - I had to try a slow climb (against doctor's orders).
Crenshaw Boulevard is famous for the gang shootouts as it goes through South Central LA, but by the time it reaches the South Bay it is transformed altogether. It goes up the hill of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and ends at the top, with a view overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
I took this shot with the marine layer still hanging on a bit to the water. Sometimes, when you see the cloudline is below you, you feel like you're sitting above the earth. The hillsides are mostly browned because of winter, but there are some excellent MTBing trails through it. Off in the distance to the left, the peak rising up through the mist is the top of Santa Catalina Island, which is itself a wonderful place to ride and home of a popular triathlon.
I think my hammys are toast, but sometimes its worth it

I feel you. Riding that Memorial Park loop will only take you so far. (1.1 miles around to be exact, ha ha) We're going to Brazos State Park this weekend with our MS150 team to train. Hope that goes well. People here are so mean to cyclists. I almost got run over by some guy in his midlife crisis (aka his convertible). Blech. I have got to move. Originally Posted by Toni

And don't forget your bike, there are some many of those beautifull places like kinderdijk to ride. For instance Noord-Limburg, Veluwe-rug, Zeeland, you name it. And it's very bike friendly .... Originally Posted by Xrayted

Hi Sadie...that road would be about 100 miles east of Springfield. I see you're a long way from home. Originally Posted by SadieKate

Well, I was born in New Mexico. My mother up and left her home state for grad school -- actually for college in Minnesota and then NM for grad school. But I spent most of every August there through high school.
