I am SO envious of the places you people get to ride. I need to start traveling with my bike.

That photo isn't actually by me, a friend of mine took it on a trip to Chile. The place is Caracoles de Portillo, near the Chile/Argentina border.

I love this descent, even though it's almost killed me once or twice.

Eastern Texas near the smallish town of Crockett. My in-laws live there and my wife and I ride around there during the summers.

A couple shots leading us into Meyersdale, PA. The skies were angry, but forgiving as it only rained for about 5 minutes of this ride.
Not quite the lonely road, but it's all I got for now.

Excuse the poor cell phone quality.

I opened up a photobucket account just for this thread. I'm loving these pictures so far, so I thought I would share mine.
This is towards the end of the St. Louis Riverfront trail. I'm guessing that this bridge used to be a RR track, but now its a cycling/foot traffic trail. There are a few touristy educational things along the way, but its pretty sweet to cross the Mississippi on my bike
