I really hate taking photographs and video when I ride or go on trips, but sometimes you just have to snap a few. Show us some of your pics from rides you've done.
This one shows the Sutter Buttes from the Bike Around The Buttes Century

This one is a shot I took at the top of nice little climb in the Sierra Foothills near Newcastle.

That photo is from my April fools blog entry, it's somewhere in Ecuador I think.
Yes, I have to shrink my photos to get under 100k. Any photo software besides a simple viewer will have a "resize" option.

Thanks. It was my 3rd Grizzly Peak in a row but this year had the best weather and the clearest views of the Bay. Last year was foggy and frisky. I invited a So. Cal. friend to the ride, the scenery was definetely worth the drive.

depends on if you'd rather ride on the road or mtn bike ;) there are a whole series of these back roads on the s/w side of Sonora and you can create routes as short or as long as you want :D ... although after the Giro ride, I'm not sure I want too long of a ride :p

We did a ride that started in Milpitas, that went straight up Sierra, then over to Calaveras, and on to Welch Creek. I happen to skip that road, and went on to lunch. Laura, later came up to me, and said I was the smartest rider of the group. That climb is just senseless.
