Photos from your rides.

[m3ta1head]

I searched and couldn't find a thread for posting ride pics, so I thought I'd create one. Here are some pics I took from a ride a few days ago on the 39, one of the finest climbs in southern california.

Roger - does WA20 have any kind of pre-open for bikes before letting cars roll through in the spring?

I rode it the day before they opened the gates to cars this year. They usually announce it a few days before they open to motor vehicles. This year happened to be in early may, but it varies. That window of time is the best opportunity to ride(IMHO).

Here's what WSDOT has to say:

@metal: the road surface looks to deteriorate somewhat, and then, with the rocks! Still, that road surface isn't bad compared to stuff around here, but we don't usually have rocks in the road! Can you share where that climb is? on a map, strava segment, whatever. I'm curious.

Thanks

Nice... I will definitely have to take advantage of this information. Oregon route 242 opens for, IIRC, 2 weeks to bikes/non motorized traffic before they allow car access. It's pretty cool to have 50 or so miles of mountain highway entirely to yourself (and some other cyclists)

WA20 is of particular interest, though, as it accesses the best alpine climbing in the continental US, and every spring when the highway opens, it's a mad race of climbers from all over the region ripping up the highway from both sides, trying to grab the 1 week conditions window that generally exists to do the gnarliest of icy north faces up there. Getting a jump on it by riding in a week in advance would be super rad.

Not a climber, but yeah, I'd imagine some great alpine climbing via the North Cascades Hwy. Here's a couple more pictures from that ride. My GPS went wonky that day, but I rode 80 miles and gained about 7400' that day. Its worth the drive up.

Mr Moderator(s), any chance of starting a "sticky" just for ride photos. I know I shoot stuff on just about every ride that isn't a serious "throw down" and it would be great to see images, be it cell phone, pocket cameras or dslrs from forum members around the country and the globe all in one place instead of multiple threads. Not looking for folks to write "stories or travelogues" just a short simple post with photos as the main "subject" and perhaps a couple comments about where it was, length of ride or specific climb etc. If members then wanted to ask questions that would be cool.
I enjoy looking at ride photos all most as much as I do looking at the bikes in the "production and custom" sections of the forum.

Thoughts mods?

In the interest of perhaps "jump starting" this idea I'll add a photo:

Just outside Portland OR, heading onto Sauvie Island. Flattest ride you can do in the Portland area, 12mile loop with various "branches" off the loop. If you use every road you can ride approx 60miles give or take a bit. Also has some gravel options. Mountain on left is St.Helens(8300') on the right is Mt Adams(12,200'), bike is my Serotta CDA.

Absolutely, here's the ride on strava: http://app.strava.com/activities/228263241 The section where the road deteriorates considerably is actually technically closed to all traffic, including cyclists, but you can just duck under the gate on a bike, nobody to stop you... ;)

@metal , my old stomping grounds are GMR and Azusa canyon, miss it. Would like to go back and ride them.

Thanks!

The photos from Rainier were from when I first got the camera and was in between computers and didn't have a way to process RAW, so I was shooting in JPG. I have since switched over (mostly) and now use ACR+VSCO to process.

And I definitely recommend the ride around Rainier! We started in Packwood, took a pretty rad gravel back way to Longmire, and then up the main road to Paradise. At that point we split off from the main group and did that sweeeeet descent through Stevens Canyon and into Gifford Pinchot. Probably the best ride of my life so far. http://app.strava.com/activities/194732690

Here are some from a couple weeks ago. I didn't have access to my ACR for a bit so I shot these in JPG and used the VSCO app on my phone, lol:

And ride reports. Used to be quite a few of those from lots of folks but not so many anymore unfortunately. In fact they're even somewhat rare now, mostly just posts on gear and stuff.

30° and breezy yesterday, but the sun was out again. So had to get out for some miles, even though fighting a cold. We've had rain it seems most days of this month, not snow… which means no salt on the roads presently… which means the nice bikes can come out and play. :banana:

Exercise is a great decongestant!

One of my favorite "from the saddle" shots. Using an Olympus TG-2 with a polarizer attached. We're riding west outside Portland and headed into the Coast Range Mtn. Taken about a year ago.

Photo from under GG Bridge,Sausalito and then from Tiburon side.
This route is a 31.12 mi route from Sausalito CA taking the long route to Tiburon via Corte Madera-Paradise Dr. The route has a total ascent of 1659.57 ft with maximum elevation of 285.2.

Glad to see you in the lane! Irks me to see so many people ride the sidewalk on that bridge. it's a 4 lane road!

Glad to see you in the lane! Irks me to see so many people ride the sidewalk on that bridge. it's a 4 lane road!

Thanks, but it doesn't matter how many lanes there are when it's busy and full of port traffic...the sidewalk becomes a much safer place to be at those times for some riders. Lots of us have families and will gladly ride the sidewalk on roads like this if it means a safer crossing. It's also 9am on New Year's Day so there's little to no traffic, which is why we chose this route. Just because there's a couple "Share the Road" signs and a few "sharrows" painted on the pavement doesn't immediately mean traffic will cut you some slack, whether we think they should or not.

[Dead Man]

Ah. Well as someone who rode that bridge twice a day every day for some time, I never once felt like the sidewalk would be safer. It's illegal, a foot off the deck, usually busy with foot traffic, and you can ride almost the speed limit the whole way over in the lane. That and the fact that the bridge would be safer as a whole if all cyclists took the lane they've been given, and got drivers more accustomed to encountering us.

But this isn't a debate thread. Take the last word, if you want it!

[Dead Man]

Can't wait till post road rides don't look like post cross rides. Gonna be a while yet.

Weather has actually been dry for most of this week, and actually looks good this coming week (and is why I finally cleaned my white shoes), but that's obviously not typical.

Moab? Cortez?

Moab over new years. The trails were amazing. Not a DROP of mud. It was either frozen dirt or snow. Total blast.

But I'm back in the mountains in deep snow now.

It was a beautiful 75° day here in San Luis Obispo. Guy Gadois and I went for a quick ride late in the day, and discovered an unknown-to-us local canyon road with Sycamores and dairy cows. We talked to the owner of the farm that the road cut through, who was out shooting ground squirrels. What a blast!

Another beautiful January afternoon in the heart of Texas. Upper 60's, sunny but very windy; hence the dirt ride in the shelter of the trees. Too early in the season to fight a 15-20 constant wind gusting mid-upper 20's.
But considering the weather in other parts of the country I have no reason to complain.

I did get a daylight ride in day before yesterday, but I hadn't climbed in a while and I was too busy dying to snap pics. Felt good to get some altitude, though... and all the "2015 KOMs" I picked up made my ride look super hardman. I of course know it's only because I'm pretty much the only person riding around here, in the winter.

This happened in downtown Boston so there was a lot of traffic around me for sure.

I've been playing with different places to mount a camera, I kinda like the view from directly behind the cog with a 170 degree view. That bike has 3/8" camera mount directly above the rear fender and I'm going to add another camera mount in front...

Weisan, the pics are from Jefferson Barracks Park, a nice southerly destination to ride to, get some laps in and head home without having to get to far away.

This picture is of my wife clipping in at the base of the Vrsic Pass in Slovenia. We rode it up the from the north on the Kranska Gora side and then descended to the south, down toward Bovec, through the river valley. One of the most beautiful descents ever. The climb was tough, about 5,300 feet with an average grade of 7% or so.

I just pulled out my camera and snapped this picture because I thought it looked cool with the fog coming up over the trees.

I don't have photos but I do have video from Fat Tuesday...not that Fat Tuesday. This is a ride done every Tuesday evening along the Minnesota River Bottoms. There were about 25 of us last night. The trails could use a little more snow but the fat tires don't seem to mind.

I was sitting on the couch this morning and had just fired up some Top Gear on Netflix when I happened to check the weather on my phone... 50 degrees?... what the @#$%...?!? I quickly confirmed this on the laptop, then jumped in my spandex and took off!

The wind was brutal but I was so happy to be out and pedaling again that I didn't care. Can't wait for the Spring.

[ofcounsel]

I was supposed to ride with friends at Aliso Woods this morning, but one of my buddies had to be back by 10am to take care of his kids, so we rode the Fullerton Loop instead. Downtown Los Angeles is in the far background in the upper left, about 30 miles away.

I mentioned this on the gravel bike thread...

I must have caught the bug here in Austin as I rode on the trails on Saturday instead of doing the regular loop on my road bike. And the way it happened was kinda weird. I had already put on my road kit and was out about 30 minutes before I decided to turn around to go back home to grab my Merlin cross bike, loaded it up in the car and drove over to the trail head....really strange. Anyhow, I still had a great time. :banana:

That's a cool vid, weisan!

We rode dirt/gravel yesterday too.

This road goes between Eastman Lake and the town of Raymond, CA. Had to "go over the wire" to access it, but it was surely worth it. My ridng pal Susan rode her trusty FCR as always. It's her dang grocery bike, but she rides that thing everywhere! It was a nice day.
On another note, I discovered the hard way that my new Paselas are not as good in sand and gravel as the Clement USHs are.

Eternal bridesmaid!

Just kidding, I have no idea what area this ride took place in but I would have to ride about 100 miles to get that much climbing where I live, so kudos for going fast on some big hills.

[Dead Man]

I snagged three 2nds, two 5ths, a 7th, and... KOM! I wanted two KOMs, got one of them, and got within 31 seconds of the other (I had been 1:30 behind- the dude is a beast). The KOM I did land was one I snagged from a pro. I believe it's my first KOM stolen from a pro, and a very prolific one, at that... so it felt good. I'm sure he could just come snag it right back.... but maybe not. ;)

We've got some great hills around here. All short - none of these peaks go higher than about 1,400', and the passes obviously don't go to summits... so you have to knock over a few in a row if you want to see big gain on your ride, but it keeps it dynamic and fun. Watch out for the pitbulls, though.. seems everyone has a pitbull, up in these thar hills.

Thanks for the compliments, Henry and Bob pals.

Henry pal, I am glad you got Susan to keep you company. Yeah, the pasela is by far the best bang for the buck but they don't excel in anything, just average to good. Did I say they are cheap? I have been thinking about trying the Clement someday, heard some really good things about them which make me curious.

Bob pal, I am using the Garmin Virb basic. They have discontinued but I got it cheap on a Groupon deal for less than $100. I am very happy with the quality. The best part of it, I can run a cable to an external power source and keep it recording until i run out of space on my SD card (64G can record up to 8+ hours at highest quality 1080p). I had it mounted like it's shown on this picture. Feel free to pm me offline if you need more info.

Three or four days of 50 degree weather and the snow is just about gone from the high prairie - especially in the area where I took the picture. I managed 80 miles today, just short of 140 for the week so far. The Match Paramount is a sweet ride and Chorus 9 still rules.

I made it out yesterday for my first road ride of the year. Temps near 60º made for beautiful riding conditions but oh my aching knees. I've got a new-normal now that I'm on coumadin for life and can no longer use NSAIDS. I'll manage...

Short 15 miler with about 1300' of climbing. Snowbanks slowly receding, reservoir still covered with ice.

My overcast, forested Pacific Northwest BLAS pics are so gray and uninteresting, next to everyone elses sunny Californian vistas and snowbanked New England long-winter pics.

But I'll post, I guess just to prove I ride

(If you're wondering about the chain position ... if you've never had to work to stay on top of your lowest gear on flat ground, you've not had the pleasure of riding in Manitoba. Let's just say my retirement plan involves a wind generator)

finally a not freezing evening ride!

It's both a blessing and a curse-our summers are miserable....it's only march and I already have to climb with my jerseys fully unzipped! :eek:

Yeah, I remember this kind of weather from having grown up in FL. Prob one of the hard parts about living in the Northeast for the past 8 years.

About 41°F, but sunny and no wind on Sunday. New Haven Vt. We're getting close! this was a nice ride.

Rocky Point Park was an amusement park that operated in some form from the mid 1800's to about the mid 1990's

Besides rides/snack bars/petting zoo and batting range, the park had a huge dinner hall, a separate banquet facility and huge arcade.

The Skyliner (ski lift) is all that is left. The first picture shows a portion of the now empty expanse

[Dead Man]

seems like a weird spot for a ski lift. Climate change??

Started out today with a 15 mile time trial effort (but not the pace) into the wind to get a care package for a forum member to the PO. Made it to the PO with 5 minutes to spare, then headed out to ride some gravel in the far corner of the county. I had a route in mind, but the ride was going so well that I extended it despite the threat of rain. Of course as soon as i was committed, I had a flat. No patch kit in the seat bag so had to use the spare tube. I was 35 miles from home at this point so the logical thing to do would have been to head for home as I had nothing if I flatted again. I don't get to that area very often so carried on. I ended up riding the last 30 miles with intermittent rain, lightning, in the dark with no lights. Ended up with 97 miles for the day; not bad for the first week of April, starting mid afternoon.

[buldogge]

I ate many clam cakes at Rocky Point (as well as rode many rides, of course) during the 70's and 80's!!! We used to also go to Lincoln Park and Nantasket Beach...ahh...great memories.

That cemetery looks just like one we used to ride past when I lived in Indiana (Huntington area). I did a double-take when I saw that picture; the resemblance is scary!
Sounds like a good ride, though.

[oliver1850]

I must have passed by 5 or 6 country cemeteries yesterday. I will often walk around reading stones when I come across one I haven't seen before, but didn't take the time yesterday.
