Great photos everyone. I haven't been riding much lately due to work overload and smokey air. Consequently, I haven't checked this thread much recently. Been missing out on some inspiring photos.
JJScaliger Love those shoes.
gugie and
northbend That looks like a fun adventure up the Columbia River Gorge--a special (though sometimes windy!) place. I've been to the stairs a few times, but only by car.
I went for my first ride in a couple weeks. I only rode about 80 miles total the entire month of August.
Today I went for one of my regular hilly loops into the Berkeley hills. About 20 miles and ~2,000' of climbing.
I was glad to see the farmer's market is back in business.
I've started wearing masks on my rides while I'm in more populated areas, though I admit I take it off once I get onto the backroads. This one was a gift from the PTA.
I know the use of headphones is sometimes frowned upon. In my defense, I like to listen to podcasts in one ear at a low conversational volume--quiet enough to still hear the traffic. On today's ride, I listened to an episode of the "Literature and History" podcast (this episode was on part of Homer's Illiad). Highly recommended if you enjoy ancient literature and history.
