The house across the street from this is like 3000sq', has a pond in the back yard, and has a barn plus multiple tree houses.
Crazy differences across from one another.

Did a hilly gravel day ride through a national prairie preserve with Buffalo and hit a couple level B roads too.
80% of Iowa was once tall grass prairie. Now, just .1% is tall grass prairie. One tenth of one percent.

Joined my hubby on a gravel ride to lunch and home. Took the path along the floodway around our city. Scenery doesn’t change much on this trail!

Riding along the Deschutes River Trail in Oregon. It's goathead season here, so running tubeless is mandatory.

Acadia National Park, one of many sets of “Rockefeller’s teeth” and view of Atlantic. We rode 46 miles with 3,500’+ of climbing.

Nice, downtube42 ! I was just on the CZ trail on Thursday. Got drizzled on the whole time, but it was a great day. I'm excited about the new trail segment that gets you into Vernonia, which I got to ride for the first time.

This might be my favorite pictures thread. The pictures are so inspiring.

One of my regular shorter rides from home, to the top of Cherry Canyon, La Canada CA. A good climbing workout. Super fun network of fire roads (some really steep sections) with some swoopy singletrack which I usually hit on the way down.

Rode 300 miles on the GAP and C&O this week. Unfortunately temps were very cold at night (mid 30's) and I had my summer sleeping bag. Threw in the towel when rain hit the area yesterday.
