Flat Handlebars

Wow! Your pics are gorgeous. The view from the path along the lake is unbelievable! We have great fall color, but Ohio is seriously lacking in lakes. I grew up in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes (and they aren't kidding) and miss them.

Yup, there are things I miss about the Midwest, but I REALLY like it out here. I love the mountains. And we have our fair share of lakes. Here's the same lake, Lake Coeur d'Alene, from the mountain bike view. The bridge over the water is part of the trail. This is the trail that helped make this die-hard mountain bike gal decide she wants a road bike!

Fabulous picture. It got to 51 degrees here today. I drove to one of the bike paths, just to see how much of the snow has melted. Unfortunately, it was still mostly covered with snow and ice. However! The roads are clean and mostly dry, so I did get my bike off the trainer in the garage and ride around the neighborhood for about twenty minutes this afternoon. What a treat to actually roll down the pavement, instead of pedaling in complete boredom in the garage. Come on spring!!
