This is why I ride. This is where I was today. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
Is this looking up toward Glacier? What a beautiful area of the country you live in, but I could not handle the winters.
I'm going to change my profile picture to one from Glacier National Park.0 -

Gorgeous pics. I went to Glacier once and really enjoyed the beauty.0 -
JoeMO, That's looking up towards Logan Pass and Going to the Sun Road in Glacier. I have a ton of pictures of places in Glacier and Flathead Valley that look like this. It's like baby pictures though. You can get away with one or two but after that, you better supply sodas and popcorn. :laugh: :laugh:0

lol It's actually more likely that I'd be in your state on my motorcycle. I was just there 2 or 3 years ago. I found the Ozarks beautiful and a whole lot of fun to ride in as I'm sure you've already known for a lonnnnng time. :bigsmile:
It's a deal! I welcome the opportunity to be a tour guide on two wheels (motorcycle or bicycle)!CECI_O_K - Just looked up the link you posted and that trail system looks very cool! If i'm ever down your way with my bike, I'd love to ride a miles with you! We have a couple of pretty decent trails here too....converted rails-to-trails. My favorite is www.cannonvalleytrail.com. It's about a 40 mile round trip. The other one is longer but it's further away from me so I've only done it once many years ago when I did the MS150 Charity Ride. http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_trails/willard_munger/index.html So if you ever find yourself in Minnesota with your bike, I can take you for a decent ride too!

Take real care if out cycling today…
Was hit from side by a car this morning and was sat in the back of an ambulance for 30 minutes. Nothing broken just very grazed as a witness said I slid for about 20 foot acoss the A47 (Upton/Ailsworth roundabout)!
Shoulder rather buggered and both it and leg now swelling up. Police checked out driver who is totally legal and he has admitted responsibility, rather handy as new bike is rather ****ed.0 -
Yikes- That's terrible! Hope you are OK- glad there are no broken bones at least! Drivers in my area also don't seem to pay any attention to bike riders and we don't have many bike paths close by - so I've seen many close calls.Take real care if out cycling today…

@dcmat:
Man! I'm glad to hear that you don't have any broken bones, even though I'm sure you're still pretty shaken up, I know I would!!! In my area, the first bike path is about 3 miles from home, and we need to be careful because drivers just don't give a dang!
Sorry to hear about your bike though but you being ok is what's more important right now. Take care of yourself today! Sending you a truck load of TLC to help you through the day! :flowerforyou:
Here's a little something to cheer you up!

@dcmat - good advice, have a ride planned today and sometimes people just don't see you. I hope you aren't too injured and it doesn't set any training back for you. Feel better soon!
@sufferlandia - My ride looks boring now compared to that pic!0 -

I don't know which would make me more mad, the buggered up arm and leg or the bike. I think the bike would make me more upset. :happy: Let us know how the healing goes. The driver is going to get you a new bike right? Do you get to choose the new bike or are they just going to replace the one that was wrecked?0 -
It's a lovely late spring day in western Michigan, sunny with a light breeze.
Between the home bike and walking the meadow I added 6.11 miles to the May total, now at 83.99.
Going to to eat lunch and then work in the garden. Memorial weekend is the time we finally dare to plant tomatoes in this climate, so that means we can plant everything.
Have a great weekend everyone!0 -

This is where I was on Thursday. Tally Lake Montana. Had to ride 9 miles of dirt/gravel road to get there but it was worth it. That's my Focus Evo that I rode up there. Next time I'm taking the Kona Tanuki or Kona Wo (fat tire 4" wide tires). The roads were pretty soft from all the snow melt.0 -

@dcmat - very frightening! I'm glad to know you will be fine. Heal quickly and good luck replacing the bike.
@speedy - as ever, very funny!
And now for Statistics Saturday:
We have 99 starters this month. That's a bit lower than usual, but it seems like this is a busy time of year. At least I know it is for me.
We have 6 newbies this month - welcome! Half of us have done 10 or more MYACs.
15 of us have made goal, and 22 of us are on track. 5 are still at 0 (I suspect this is because Dave has been too busy to get out his whip).
We are 77% of the way through the month and we have moved 72% of the miles we pledged as a group. That means we need to pick up the pace, people!
Have a great day and stay safe out there.0 -

YIKES!!! This is why I am terrified to ride my bike outside and stick to spin classes. I'm really glad to hear you're OK (relatively speaking). Be mindful that you will likely be more sore tomorrow and even the next day. Be gentle with yourself as you recover.
And glad to hear the other side accepted responsibility and your bike will likely get replaced/fixed, etc. at their (or their insurer's) expense.0 -

Ouch! I'm glad you're okay. My brother was hit on his bike a few years ago, idiot driver made a turn right into him. Then the police had to give my brother a ticket since they didn't see a light on the bike - it was torn from the bike in the wreck! We spent the day in the ER, almost thought he had a pneumothorax (lung collapse) but he didn't. Got him an overnight stay though.
Make sure you know your rights, get proper medical attention (make sure there's a record of everything) and take it easy. :flowerforyou:0 -

Gorgeous day! Walked w/hubby and Bean for a while then went off by myself for a few faster miles. Think we'll start out earlier tomorrow. I was really glistening (cuz girls don't sweat...we glisten!) when I got home! I mean buckets!! Got my exercises done and extra steps in between each one.
16.0 miles today! The dentist can't keep me down!
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
