Got any pictures of great roads you have ridden?
Share them here so we can vicariously join you on that great ride you had.
I'll start with Death Valley's Artist Drive

Our country is densely populated, and while things were better during the first couple of COVID-19 months, everyone is back on the road these days. Had to wait a couple of minutes before the OAP's on their e-bikes were out of the way and I could take this shot:

You won't regret it, the parc des volcans is of unforgettable beatuy, IMO. For an 8 hour high definition livestream of this area, check out the upcoming TdF stage Clermont-Ferrand / Puy Marie!

I’ve been checking out the logging roads east of Seattle...long,quiet roads. On Sunday I saw 2 bikers and a couple dozen 4x4s...and a few gun “enthusiasts”.

There are 3 types of roads here in NW Wisconsin, 2020. The individual roads in each type pretty much look the same. And pretty much always open, so nice up here.

Even have a coffee house in Cable, population 400-ish, for cycling folks. Better than where I live with a population of 40,000-ish. All I get there is "get off the f***ing road".
