Bike is Wes Mason
I am actively engaged in a Cat 6 race. The other competitor can be seen below the handlebars, off in the distance.

Is this a proper "behind the bars" post?? I'm not sure. Maybe it's a "ride a bike, see stuff" post?? Well, I saw a lovely cloud forming during this evening's ride, so I grabbed a quick shot with the bars in the foreground...
and it continued to grow during the ride! I think it was moving closer too. There was a nice rainbow at the bottom where the rain was falling, and I figured I stood a good chance of getting wet (again). Fortunately, it seemed to break up about the time it was getting to me!
... and I got about 48 miles in for the evening! totally soaked from sweat, of course.

This is a challenge trying to hold the phone ride on dirt at the same time. It's a little shaky. The bike is a Schwinn Continental.

I love riding my De Rosa on gravel. This is a gravel trail adjacent to my usual loop. I don’t ride it (the trail) very often because I am particular about cleaning and maintenance..but it’s fun.

Bianchi84 , those gloves.....my first favorite summer gloves....came to me in large lot of vintage bikes, parts, tools, and clothes I purchased from a cyclist who was approaching his last days. If I stumbled onto another pair I'd buy them in a heartbeat cuz these are the my "go to" gloves for bikes with white tape like the '82 Ron Cooper you see in the photo. They leave no marks behind.

View on a loaned Schwinn Varsity in Steamboat Springs, CO.
It has rough paint but it still gets me from point A to B while visiting here.
Another bonus is I'm saving $50 bucks a day on bike rental.
