Do you ride a road bike or a mountain bike?

I ride a Hybrid. Recently purchased a Cannondale Quick CX1.

I pimped mine out a little. Rear rack with trunk bag that folds out to full panniers, extension grips, front and rear lights, cateye urban computer, and a sweet little bell.

Oooh, scary! We saw one once outside of New Paltz. Saw a couple of rattlers on a couple of rides. At least once each summer, we get up to Minnewaska State Park (Minnewaska State Park Preserve - NYS Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation), ride out to the far lake (Awosting: https://www.google.com/search?q=lak...OQyATWhYDwCQ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=487), swim, eat lunch, and ride back. Good times. The trail going around Lake Awosting is So.Much.Fun.

Looks like a fun place! My in laws are around there. I go around carrabassett valley Maine a bunch. They have a great community of bikers and trail builders.

Video from a cruising trail.

That looks like fun! Above my skill level, especially these days, but that's the kind of thing I'd try to work up to. I still need wider trails and don't have the kind of control, especially at any kind of speed, for the single track trails.

Fine, fine, fine. Am I at least allowed to have a bike IN the picture?
(It's actually a rented bike, and runnah, this is closer to your neck of the woods. Peaks Island off of Portland.)

Disclaimer: This was 5 years ago and I still have about 4-6 months before I'm in fighting shape again.

Just to keep this going.

Ron, I'm sure you're almost as charming as Leonore is but I'm here to tell her that

Leonore, this picture reminds me of one with your dad, you posted a while ago... you have the same expression of happiness on your face and the same smile

No worries. My mug shot vs her photo. Even I'm voting for hers

I remember that I'd come into the house from mowing the lawn or riding my bike to the lake or something. I'd be all red and sweaty, looking horrible. But while I thought I was looking my worst, my father would break into a big smile and say that I looked beautiful and "fresh" (a sort of mistranslation from the Portuguese word "fresca" - right word in English but it had a different connotation.)

So now I can imagine him saying that to me and it makes me happy :goodvibe:

that's a really nice memory you have of him :wink:

No one said it has to be a current one right?

Here's an exceptionally grainy, favorite, photo of me from 1984 :smileys:

Well, I was attempting a new selfie this afternoon. Trouble was- the wind was blowing terribly, My technique of having DS stand in as a focus point failed, and it started raining before I nailed it. It's far from perfect. Then again, so am I. ;-)

Nice one, Jazzie! Love the choice of wardrobe, hair, and makeup! Even though you call it far from perfect, it still looks lovely.
