I’m actually not on smugmug. To be honest I hadn’t heard if it. Perhaps you mixed up my post with another. My most recent photos are now hosted on Flickr after a bunch of of my photos got caught behind the line during the Photobucket debacle. It’s deflating to think of all the wasted energy I spent oosting photos with photobucket links that are no longer accessible by others. I’ll have to look into smugmug.

oops yeah I meant to ask scratchpaddy

That LeJeune looks perfectly desirable.

Great view... tired bar tape. A quick ride between storms.

Aftermath of the nor'easter.

No Nor'easter in North Texas today. Bright sun but a stiff south wind this morning. Of course, my ride starts out to the north, so the return trip was a bit rough.

Beautiful day on the Oregon Coast!

Temps finally hit the 40's (colder really gets my lungs now), the roads are clear (quite a bit of snow this past week) and my wife is finally walking again (broken ankle in January) so the base miles have started. Sometimes i agree with my daugher that it would be nice to live somewhere warmer. The indoor trainer is not very appealing after 4 months of winter.

It looks like you took a trip to the French countryside for your first picture.
I love that first picture. Looks like she could be as old as me.
A good day for fenders!

I took the Fuji on my first grocery run sans car yesterday. I may have overstuffed the bags a bit...



This morning, I went on another sunrise Smoothie ride. The sunrises are the same almost every single day here, but I never get tired of seeing them.



I took Brown out to the the canal that doesn't really have a name, way out east.



At one point, the canal diagonally intersects another intersection of two major roads. There's a broad flood channel next to the canal with its own tunnels directly under the intersection, so I took that instead. My little headlight is really just for being seen in the dark. It helped me not at all in flood tunnel.



I had my Clif bar under a different highway next to a different airport, the 202 north of the Mesa Gateway airport. The only birds around were cliff swallows, who left me in peace.

But in the UK ... here is the view from my office on Wednesday this week! No outings on my bike!

Ugh.

Last week I rode to work most days, planned to ride tomorrow too but now they are predicting 1-2 inches tonight. Ugh.

Glad we rode yesterday and today.

Another major winter storm hits here again tomorrow.

....and the streets were almost dry.

This is a very beautiful picture. Thank you.

First ride in the daylight in what feels like months yesterday, on a sunny, breezy, 45 degree day.

Breaking in the new Cambium and Gravelkings. Even had a big tailwind and got the old SLT up to 35mph on a slight downhill!

jimmuller 

No pic(s) yet. Jut rode my commute again. Temps around freezing, with a cold nor'easter headwind left over from the severe storm earlier this weekend and/or prep'ing for the one to hit us tomorrow. Some friends on Cape Cod said their winds hit 90 mph.

Near work there is a set of stoplights hanging from a big cable over the intersection. On my ride this morning I saw that one of them had been spun around about 120 degrees from the direction it was supposed to be facing. Must've been some heckuva wind.

Boy, did it ever! I drove home from work in whiteout conditions yesterday... v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.

Lest we forget that Spring has nearly sprung, here are some photos from my ride on Saturday:


Setting off on the Bruce Vento Trail


For you Bob Dylan Fans


Leaving Lowertown


A visual metaphor - light at the end of the tunnel


Beautiful, dry pavement - as far as the eye can see.


Until we hit this - several deep puddles hid icy bottoms; Thank goodness for studded tires.


Crossing Lafayette Bridge on the way home.

That was an excellent ride. I met my Dad at Gulden's in Maplewood for lunch at the end of the trail. Then I faced strong headwinds out of the south, all the way back.

This morning I awoke to ~6 inches of fresh, wet, heavy snow. This too shall pass...

Nice pics, gang

Here's a few shots from my Saturday ride, visiting little towns in the Olympia, WA vicinity.

Stopped for a breather at an Xmas tree farm near Rainier, business seemed maybe a little slow for a Saturday?


A small informal roadside memorial on the outskirts of (Army/Air Force) Joint Base Lewis/McChord. I'm guessing it was set out for the base's casualties from our little adventure in Iraq? Fairly poignant, regardless. Looks like it's been there a few years.


Also poignant; an abandoned church in Rainier.


In Rainier, I crossed with a pack of roadies moving fast. No pic, but a couple of the older ones in the group did a doubletake on my bike. I could just imagine the thought balloons: "Whoa, Legnano? Is that an old Legnano?" (It's not).

View from inside the historical information kiosk in Tenino City Park. This place used to be a major sandstone mining town and there quite a few old sandstone buildings in the historical downtown block.


Some local BMX kids chatting up the town's stone carver in downtown Tenino. I was puttering around town for about 30 minutes, just being a nosy tourist, and ran into those same two kids in different locations three or four times.


"You have died of dysentery." Fortunately, no. But I was feeling a bit gassy before visiting the public restroom back at the park.

Inspired by DQRider and Lascauxcaveman I shall introduce you all to the little town of Nicasio, California which is 7 miles from the little town of Lagunitas where I live. I have ridden through Nicasio hundreds of times but foolishly never before stopped to wander around and take a close look.

Nicasio's most-depicted landmark is Saint Mary's Church built in 1867. On any sunny spring weekend there is likely to be a watercolorist or two camped with their easels next to the church.



Just past the church the highway makes first a sharp left turn then a sharp right turn skirting around the centerpiece of this quiet town, the ball field!



Nicasio takes its Little League seriously... but not too seriously.



Tiny buildings abound in Nicasio. I'm not sure why. Here's a sampling.









The grandest building in town is the old schoolhouse.







My regular stop in town is the creamery. We are blessed in this area with a wealth of small-batch cheese companies.



Wonder no longer why my bike has a handlebar bag.

A sunny day on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. Got out for 44 miles and change. Pic below is my Konno built Allez with Sequim Bay in the background. This was my longest ride of the year and I returned home feeling pretty stoked.

Everything is still damn brown in Parker, CO but managed a cool picture of my ‘86 Paramount headtube at least

Great ride pics, folks!

From yesterday's commute home:

zukahn1 

Got to go on a nice first of the season ride about 20 miles on the back roads still some mud and ice patches but the Mountains look great at this time of year.

nesteel 

Seriously jealous at the view. Nice.

Nice spring pics!

Here is what our kitchen window showed at 6 this morning.
