Took this during 2007's Cycle Oregon. Cottage Grove, where the homecoming parade scenes of "Animal House" were filmed. In the film you can see this sign for a split second. "You can take your thumb out of my *** any time now, Carmine."

The coolest part of of our two days there was the bus tour we took from the hostel. Visited some places many tourists don't see.

I regret to inform you PW, but it would appear that you have put on some weight.
(What's that you're muttering, don't quit my day job??)
Lovely photos, we've been lucky with some nice rides and nice weather North of Montreal along some trails, great to see fall coming in, cheers

Indeed I was somewhat incompatible with my friend's gravel bike but that was the only thing I had for the trip at the time. There is a new gravel bike in my very near future... probably tomorrow ... :-) Just in time for another expedition the following weekend :-) Cheers.

The Bow Valley Parkway in Alberta, Canada is a beautiful area, and we used it as part of our routes on two different tours.

yes it is Hilleberg Enan. Yes it is small basically my 25 inch inflatable pad fits just right in the sleeping section. The vestibule is nice and the tent is dry during rain. It packs small. I like it for bikepacking.

Here's a pic of Spirit Mountain, in Nevada. This was an unplanned ride this morning, so just sizing it up for now. 😉 It's still somewhere between 5 & 10 miles from this point, and that's a bit, in the desert. 🤔
There's some cool stuff on this kiosk, including the Bighorn Desert Sheep, that you guys tried to ignore in another thread. 🙄😁

Forgot to say, but right after the kiosk pics, a roadrunner walked right past me, maybe 10 feet away. I don't mind that, so long as those giant scorpions keep their distance. 😳😁😉

Cute expression! (I'm going to tell that one to my wife)
Although it looks like Winston took it a bit too far and overdid it too often with all four paws....

Good stuff there, about chocolate. 👍 I like, "Chocolate, don't leave home without it". 😁
Here's a nearly all-white pigeon, who stopped by just a bit ago.
