Motivational Pictures: The Summer is Coming
I wish I could say it was defrosting here in Laramie Wyoming; but the truth is, I know I still have several months of crappy weather before I can consistently ride outside. To get me through the pain I look at pictures from warmer times. Problem is I've seen them all. And, Im not much of a photographer... Can anyone provide other summer riding pics to get me through these tough times?

Wow! I would love to spend some time, with one of my oldies, on that trail pointing towards the mountains. Wow!

yeah, remember a few months ago when it went from Africa Hot to just normal? That was when it happened.

Jan, your pics look really inspiring. I spent a few days camping in the Tetons back in 96. Would love to go back again. There was one really nice hike on the far side of Jenny lake if I remember correctly.

Getting the itch real real bad today! I got my mountain bike fixed up last weekend, put the finishing accessories on two other bikes, and got the cables for another. TIME TO RIDE!!!!! The roads are a gravel potholed mess, and the trails are a sheet of ice from the backed down snow, and still over a foot deep where there isn't ice. I'm trying for a long road ride this weekend regardless...
Here is another state I got some miles in during 2010. The pictures taken at Balm Boyette Scrub Preserve in Florida. Mmmmmm, summertime, the livin's easy...
Sweet buttery smooth single track
Surreal flora
Just awesome

Oh man, do I miss riding on those roads. I grew up in that area and spent a lot of time on roads like this with no traffic and oceans of wheat flowing in the wind.
