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!

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
