What Do You See When You Ride?

[kimikaw]

Pretty much a newbie, but already finding myself snapping pictures w/ phone while riding....

From the start of the Glacial Drumlin trail (waukesha, WI end)



Another shot from the same ride, somewhere between the 12 and 14 mile markers. Those holes in the bridge were a bit disconcerting - both coming and going over them.



At a park in Brookfield WI, where I was amazed to notice a sign for scuba diving. So surprised that I got off the trail to find the perfect angle (you can see the actual trail closer to the water).



And one of my favorite sights, my son, on a trail through a swamp/marsh area along the Fox River

Today we saw a dozen police officers having a conversation with a pack of hunters dressed in camoflage with shotguns and rifles on property next to the airport.

Not a good reflection on the local schools ability to teach critical thinking.

Last week, a golden eagle. Today, a Blue Angel. It's Air Show weekend a Miramar (where they filmed Top Gun). I ride a Lake Miramar, which is just a couple of miles away. I got buzzed by F18s, too.

I found myself worried about the young children living in war zones. Those jets really are loud- terrifying- and when they set off the bombs, too, well, I found myself thinking how blessed we are to live here, and wondering what kind if damage beyond the obvious destruction of buildings that our bombs may wreak.

That reminds me of the time I was riding on the bike-path and I saw a bunch of guys parachuting above me. It's surreal to look up and see people floating above you, especially when you're on a bike in the middle of nowhere.

I didn't get pictures, but there were sooooo many butterflies out this morning, even in the rain! Guess it's migration time for the Monarchs

Two days ago I saw a roadrunner less than a mile from my house... I always think those are funny because people associate them so much with Texas but I hardly ever see any.

Today I saw a road littered with Wooly Bears. So cute!

I also saw a man on a motorcycle with a sidecar. In the side car was a golden retriever with a bandana

The infamous Bunny Statue!

Ahh, ++1 on favorite sights. I see many different things, but I really love riding with my son.

Thanks for sharing that one.

Yay!!! The FAMOUS bunny statue!!!
Definitely a local landmark.

Reesha....the Woolie Bears were out in force today on our ride. Alas, I think a few met the wrong side of our wheels. Ewwww....

Today, I saw something I've never seen before....the inside of a wine glass.
Four of us head out to Sugarloaf Mountain, where a winery is located. The tasting room was open, and one of the guys wanted to check it out. "What? Are you serious?" SURE! So, we took a flight! Pretty cool.

I treated the wooly bears like an obstacle course I didn't hit a one! (though I can't speak for the boys on my cycling team)

I went out for a ride at 5:15 AM today. I saw a lot of delivery trucks in Concord center; something you don't see during the day. I also smelled coffee very strongly, as I rode past Starbucks. I know a lot of people have commented on how they smell breakfast during their commutes, but this has never happened to me, mostly because the houses are pretty far back from the road. The other day, I did see a hawk, that swooped down really, really low as I was riding down the hill. It was a little scary.
