What Do You See When You Ride?

This is the view along my favorite stretch of riding road

Here's one that's a bit stranger:

There was a sign out front saying that it was for rent but it wasn't near anything so I can't imagine why anyone would want to set up shop there.

Made me smile.

These places look great! Keep adding pictures. I went riding today but didn't take my camera. I'll be sure to take it with me again tomorrow.

Ohhh I forgot about this... a big sink hole right along the trail!

Cool!

I've also biked by the New River in Virginia. This is a picture taken in October.

These are pretty crappy since they are from my phone, but...

A picture of the local trail last year when it was flooded out (this trail goes about 50 miles end to end and crosses the WA-ID state border):

A picture from the northern point of the ironman coeur d'alene ride (this is last year, but trust me it didn't change

):

I have seen lots of bunnies (especially at dusk), marmots (moreso in the mornings), and a few snakes (in the middle of the day), all of which are hard to catch on camera. Sometimes I see deer in the evenings but not really when it's this hot outside, and by the time I could get out my phone, they scamper (prance?) off. I have only seen a moose once (which is uncommon for the area normally, but we saw several this year), and that was running, so I didn't have my phone.

Other than that, it's mostly cars, other cyclists, walkers, and runners, with associated children and/or doggies. I don't think you need pictures of those.

I see a variety of terrain, and sometimes a variety of weather on my rides. The Bay Area has a lot of Microclimates.

Lots of woods:

Some great bike lanes:

Sometimes my favorite mountain bike trails (from my road bike):

And if I'm really lucky, the Pacific (but that requires an overnight, a car ride back or about 80 miles and a couple of mountains):

I've never ridden by the ocean (yet!) but that would be awesome!

Yesterday at Chabot Regional Park in Oakland, CA. I had to quickly get off the trail to avoid getting trampled!

**OakLeaf** · 08-17-2009, 04:07 AM

Yow, that's a lot of goats!

Where is that road, HS?

Damascus Road (650) heading south east, between 108 and 97. Nicely paved with gentle rollers trending down hill. Fast!

Great pics!
It is wonderful to see where other TE members ride.

When it stops raining here I will try to get some snaps on a ride.
