The Empty Road Photo Thread
Got any pictures of great roads you have ridden?
Share them here so we can vicariously join you on that great ride you had. I'll start with Death Valley's Artist Drive https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...17b61f5b_c.jpgA playful line in the sandstone hillside by Matthew Pendergast, on Flickr |

I thought this was going to be another COVID-19 thread due to all the not-normally-empty roads we now have :p

Arches National Park. Ride it early in the morning and you'll have it all to yourself..

Nice idea! Will need to dig into the picture archive.
BTW, with the current restrictions the roads around here are pretty empty. With any luck I've got my girl with me, but that's about it: https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...4889d4a0f7.jpg |

South King County farmland

Empty due to a flood in South Minneapolis. Not much much distance here but it’s obviously vacant. This is normally a very busy place.

La Plata County Road 205 located northwest of town.

These days pretty much all the roads are empty. Strange times. West LA County and Ventura County.

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...60aea0c40.jpeg I once biked through this, felt like a foot of water, but probably less. It was later after a baseball game played at Parade Stadium, and I was flying down this path on my way home. By the time I had stopped, it seemed easier to just keep going through it rather than turn back. It was not too far of a ride after with wet shoes and socks. Not my most shining moment, but a good memory nonetheless. |

Beautiful & inspring photos. Great idea.
