From a ride out in the Snohomish Valley in a warmer season

From another ride in the Valley in a wet season.

Somewhere out in Weyerhaeuser land near Index, Wa. A very memorable ride.

Pardon the modern fat bike, but this is one of the better gravel road pictures I've taken lately. This is from a few months ago in the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.

Somewhere between Selma and Uniontown, Alabama. A little ways beyond here, the road started to get really bad.

That's a kinda nutty looking bridge- I keep thinking you'd be on the lookout for Cactus Jack to be standing on the top, lookin' to drop an elbow and win the cage match.

Brings back memories of a steep, hard ride. The descent into Livermore on the other side is great payback. On a clear day you can see the Sierras past the Central Valley on your left, Coastal Range in the distance on your right.
