General Cycling Discussion - Going to the Sun Road...

Well it's snowing enormous flakes right now... seems like the perfect time to post this :)
THe Going to the Sun Road in Glacier NP is closed past Avalanche Creek but it's open past the gate for bicycles and hikers. It's like a dream come true... the only thing you share the most beautiful road in the US with is the deer. I rode up just past the loop... nearly to the summit before I turned around. It's nice living 5 minutes from Glacier NP!!! Here's some pics

and another

and another...

another...

last one?

That's really nice! I love mountains, too bad there is none where I live.

:)

That is sooooo beautiful!

:eek:

My parents live that close to Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park in Estes Park, Colo.

OK, here's the plan. Pete, you go visit your parents during the week of June 28-July 5 when I will be in Aspen. I will tell Rainbabe and the other couple we will be with that I am, uh, going to run to the store. I will swing up through Estes Park, pick you up, then we will head up to ride with Doug. Think anyone will miss us for about 3 days?
:D

HOLY CRAP - Wanna dig that knife in a little ? My lord those are some great shots. I just got back from a ride in our nations capital - spent the morning looking at the muddy, swollen potomac river.

The mountains are a lot more scenic, but now that I think about it....that means hills....hmm

Oh well, grass is always greener ..... although I really doubt you envy living 20 miles outside of DC - congestion central !!

:)
It snowed like crazy this morning.. dry at 5:30 when taking my morning... ummm well leak, and then 2 inches of the white stuff when I finally got up at 7 LOL
The rain gear I got at Performance kept the Mrs. and I dry and warm.
You simply cannot imagine how beautiful it was... snow stuck to everything.. an absolute winter wonderland.
I may have to cowboy up in the morning and walk the bike the 2 miles to work tomorrow morning because it is REALLY coming down right now.
I'll try to get some snowy pics if it does stick..
