Wednesday Mornings ride. No Instagram filter needed!
At the top of a popular local climb called "The S Bends or Monument Hill". It's only really 20% at the top, through the S bends but still a killer! Oh and I'm having to borrow my brother's Thorn Audax while I await some new chainrings.... Lovely steel (858 I think...) framed bike, light, responsive and nothing like I imagined! :noway:
Wow! Nice photos. That's one heck of a hill at 20%. :frown:0 -
Spring day, panorama over the bay towards the city0 -
So many great looking water pictures and green lush areas....very beautiful places to ride.:drinker:
J. Meadow escaped the wildland fire we had in our area last year
Cattle co. that has been in the valley for decades

Ideal early fall ride...
It got dark fast, but it looked really cool...
This is my Doctor Who... Light at the end of the tunnel shot... I was racing the storm in.

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.

Here's the 14-16mph group lined up at 6:45am.0 -
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!

Now I really do like that :-)0 -
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 2011.0
