There's a lot of places in this country that are very pretty. Thanks! And +1 to shaving.

Yeah, that's the camera, I did adjust them in photoshop slightly, just auto levels and a little saturation.

That last pic looks like East Circut Rd. in Schenley Park. Did it during Pedal Pittsburgh. That's one fun downhill if it is.

I lived and raced in Pittsburgh about 10 years ago and those images heading up Mount Washington brought back memories. Have you gone up Sycamore? =)

Beautiful day to ride, but those first few pics left me thinking that Pittsburgh didn't put any $$ into their road surfaces. They just shout "flat tire!" to me.

Nice pics. I'd make a joke about your legs but lots of people here know I don't shave mine either.

Those early spring, May rides can be iffy as far as the weather goes. Man, the food after the ride this year was excellent. Probably one of the better post event meals I've ever been offered. I try to push the event on here yearly, but never seem to get any BFer's interested. Maybe your pictures will help show that we have a nice place to come visit, and take a ride around.

Great pics, man. The next time I take a vacation and visit my folks, I'm bringing my road bike instead of my mountain bike. I know Schenley Park like the back of my hand on my mountain bike, but I've never ridden through it on a road bike - I became a roadie when I moved to Houston 5 years ago.
