Why do you and your friends always stick your tongues out at the camera?

whenever they post up pics of just their bikes i'm always thinking, "there's no way anyone could fit on those bikes comfortably." then i see them on the bikes and realize they're riding frames a couple sizes too small. no wonder they need 140mm negative degree stems. i have a long torso and all, but seeing this last pic looks like they're riding a child's bike!

55 miles today. North Georgia is like a sauna.
Overnight storms brought down some trees on the Silver Comet Trail. I broke and moved many of the branches on the right so people could get through but it still required some mad cyclocross skills. There is a second tree down right behind the one pictured.
Stopped three times to wait out passing thunderstorms, once inside the Brushy Mountain Tunnel.
Cool air from inside the tunnel mixed with warm humid air outside and I watched the whole tunnel fog up to the point where the other end wasn't visible. Tried to capture fog pouring out.

Setback seatposts are normal. Zero setback isn't
13.8cm, not quite 11 inches.

Pictures are way cool Tim. Thanks for sharing. I could picture that thunderstorm rolling through, waiting it out in that tunnel. Damp rocks and the smell of rain. Can almost hear it.

I did Northstar at Tahoe once. Dusty, but a lot of fun.

there is no "normal" with seatposts. many bikes are now coming stock with zero offset posts. femur length and knee over spindle isn't ever "normal".

58 miles today.
A group of about 60 riders from Birmingham were riding from Piedmont, Alabama to Altanta and back, about 200 miles. I hooked onto the back of a group doing "only" 150 and showed them the way to a store stop. Clowning around for the camera but this girl could pull.
Livestock for @scoho. Horses weren't too interested in me today. Llamas were.

Do you know anything about llamas? Is there something about llamas that would make the owner nervous that I was there?
Her dogs barked and she came out onto the porch, stared at me until I left. It was pretty clear that she wasn't happy about me looking at or being near her llamas. The fence is right up near the road though. I didn't try to touch them or feed them or anything.
Maybe she is just the crazy llama lady or something.
