Not taking as many pictures s... Why it is a good thing

Last year pain kept me off a bike most of the year. This year, the weather broke 2nd week in March, and I have been riding as often as I can . I have a folder of this years pictures taken out riding, they are trailing off. Early it was 3-4 pics a ride in the last 2 weeks I have 2 pictures one of a new bike on out on a ride and a picture of the new extension of a trail . But I have figured out this is a good thing In March I would take 1-2 breaks on an 8-10 mile ride . Tonight I hit the closest local trail it is 8 miles . I started around 7:00 p.m. rode the 8 miles only stopping at rode crossings was back at the car in time to get to TSC to get a part for a fence by 8:00 I am starting to get back into shape a little

Just adding a wire low enough to keep rabbits out of the garden so I will have some beans left

You don't need to make fewer photos. You just need to learn to shoot without getting of the bike. But riding more and better? Congrats!

^ Nice pix!

I agree. I measure how great a bike ride it was by the how many pix I took, not how fast I finished.
