    Ok here's some photos from a ride I did two weeks ago.

    Early morning at the Lake getting ready to go.

    The sun was just coming up and I am heading up hill and onto a 85mi journey.

    My favorite Road name in New Jersey "Shades of Death!"

    This didn't take very well, but I am pretty high up and on a curve in the road looking over a huge valley. The ridge in the distance is much closer but you can just make it out in this pic. The "notch" in the ridge is where the Delaware River passes through the ridge. Known here as the Delaware Water Gap.

    Here's a high mountain lake with a little community around it. Just called Mountain Lake.

    Nice overlook

    Here's a couple from the NJ Gran Fondo. I didn't take a camera so these are afterwards.

    One of the many Chemical Plants in the area...

    I just can't seem to do this view justice with my cell phone camera. The bridge, the river, the island and the mountains are spectacular.

    Lastly, my youngest daughter and her friend doing a road ride with the club. Pretty sure Greg slid them cinnamon rolls when I ran to get my bike, but there was no evidence left by the time I returned... We road down to the river trail on the city streets (with cars) and back through downtown. I giggle when she holds her hand down and yells "STOPPING"... She had heard me complain about people not signalling and causing major accidents. She is not going to make that mistake!

    A fisherman's hut just off the beach, all 4 sides had murals. I liked this side the best

    Really haven’t had good weather and riding opportunities to contribute here, but I enjoyed looking through the photos.

    All I have is a photo from today, as I passed 17,000 miles of riding since April of 2011.
