Great pics! None here unfort.

Climbed Yerba Buena on Saturday for about 80 miles...
Latigo yesterday for about 75....I'm done.

Jaz - that looks like Yerba! The road behind Neptune's Net?! BUMPY

Yes, those are the close ones. In the other pic they're on the horizon, can just be seen in the original sized pic. I was thinking of you and that climb profile you posted, as my whole route had nearly the amount of climbing as your one climb. It did have one category 5 climb; even that is hard to find in my area.

That was Las Flores up to Saddle Peak Road. Haven't done Yerba in forever; it's about a 90 mile round trip from my place; that's beyond me till I htfu.

February in Northern Illinois-- where's the snow??

wife and I went out on Sunday in Addison County, northwest wind at about 15 mph, 36°F, no pics, but dry roads. Saw red tailed hawks (2), pileated woodpecker, crows, turkeys (8), and an assortment of little birds. Went by the slang on Lake Champlain where we see eagles in early spring, but still iced over, and no eagles yet. About 20 miles was enough. Have to get better foot gear....

J - if you climbed Las Flores you certainly do not need to HTFU. That climb is insanely tough.

I went out around 3 AM Tuesday to feed the boiler and it was white everywhere, heavy wet snow coming down. All melted well before noon.

Mid February and 50 degrees in Albany, NY...

Out for a couple hours of single track this morning on my GT... So great to have nice weather! (Makes me want a new mtn bike)
