Show us your rides and YOU

This is from this past August in Jasper, on the approach road to Mt. Edith Cavell.

Good job! It looks way too cold for me, but glad you finally got out!

You look tired but very satisfied. Is that a new bike? Looks too cold for me too.

[Crankin]

No new bike. I've had it for 3 years; well the frame for 3 years, the components are about 5 years old, switched from the frame they sold me that was too big.
I was tired. Every ride ends with the 9-15% grade up my street, depending on which way you go up the loop, and then the 12% grade driveway.
And actually, the temperatures we are having now, 45-55 are my favorite riding temperatures. You usually don't have to take layers off if you dress right and it's not too hot. Above 75, I hate, and last summer was hotter than hell.
Like my son, the Marine, says, "pain is weakness leaving the body."

oh It's so fun to see your smiling faces. Boy NbyNW it's a good thing I know what you look like ... .(such a tiny photo)
Red, Hillslugger, Crankin, thanks so much!

It took me 3 tries to get the friend who I was riding with to include the mountain in the far left background. She kept centering me and cropping out the mountain. Her picture came out much better!

Pardon the low-quality cell phone pics, but from this morning's ride:

A new pedestrian underpass opened by a high school near my parents' house. I decided to check it out (I walked my bike through it even though it was empty at the time ). There's cute artwork everywhere, painted tiles and mosaic. That's my Satellite in front.


And here's me, hamming it up. My phone camera does have a timer, but there was no place to set it up that would have gotten me a picture of anything useful.

Me (with our tandem...this is primarily DH and DS's bike):


And my beautiful ride:

I love the colors on that Cannondale. Reminds me of a creamsicle - yumm!

goldfinch-I really love your folder! I've always wanted one. Are there any major differences between the folders and solid bikes?
