Perhaps I could have worded it better but the threads are getting mighty specific.

Are you trying to preempt my "Show us your bike at a bus stop with a silly street name sign" thread?

I know it's long, but I would've gone with this thread title:

"Here is a picture of the non-drive side of my bicycle taken today at 12:45 pm in front of this waterfall, and I apologize for not including it in the 'Where'd you ride today?' sticky, but how many times do you ride in front of a waterfall? Not too many. That's why I just had to start a new thread. Also, to all those who don't have a waterfall like this that they can ride to, I would like to say, 'in your face!'"

This is the closest I can get to a waterfall today

Not a natural waterfall but the photos were taken today.

Yeah the bridge deck was steel mesh, since this happens every spring (well probably not this year, since it barely snowed in the mountains) the sheer power of the water was astonishing!
