What Do You See When You Ride?

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!

I'd love to bike tour up the coast of Maine and then into New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. It would be heavenly!!!

Those pictures from the Bay Area are just lovely! I once had an opportunity to teach at a school in Napa and I sometimes think back and say "Dannng!" to myself.

It's just so beautiful!

There are approximately 4 wild turkeys that sit in the field across from where we park. They are too far away to photograph. However, down the path, one took flight and barely missed the rider in front of us. Occasionally a few deer and lots of wooly worms, bunnies, and geese. But I doubled back to take this pic, JUST FOR YOU GUYS. Apparently these three herons can't read the "No swimming" sign. (Wish I'd had my camera instead of just my iphone).

They're not swimming, they are wading!

I love seeing the herons, ducks, geese, rabbits, squirrels, turtles, etc. One time a beaver ran out of the water right in front of me. I didn't get his picture.
