Don't recognize the faces, but I recognize the places... Now I've got a craving for some frozen custard.

This morning I went for a quick spin before work on my first proper road bike, and first STI-equipped ride.

Got home, showered and cruised into work (just a few miles) on the Carlton.

First real test ride with 'Purple Haze' (though she refuses to look purple in half the pictures I take) - long stroll mostly along the canal -bliss!

Just a little yard art that we found at a local store, seems appropriate for here in this thread:

On today's ride,

Took the water taxi down to China Town. Got a nice view of the Amtrak bridge.

100 years old, still works - definitely classic and vintage.

Happy 4th

Some belated pics from our visit to Seattle a week ago; taken July 4th at Gas Works Park:

Tens of thousands waiting for the show to begin; Venus and Jupiter in the distance.

Went hiking with my kids a couple weeks ago. It was a pretty tough eight and a half miles, but well worth the effort.

Nice pics, Roger - where is that? Looks like someplace I'd like to trek :)

is that near Mount Stuart?

We were up on Green Mountain, east of Darrington, WA. That snow covered mountain is Glacier Peak. Mount Stuart is much farther south.

I think it's Switzerland. :)

This bike is making me enjoy climbing!

I hope my Fuji Stratos is Classic enough Rode to Phnom Penh and back to Kampong Cham this week, 160Km (had to get in my first Imperial century) there and 123 back. On the way back home I got stopped by a motorcade and saw the King drive by.

As I improve steadily, I've been doing a lot of off-the-bike fitness stuff. It seems I'm finding a new hike every other day :)

Going to do my first ride in a couple months with Bob Freeman and a bunch of other guys over in North Bend tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed!

Agreed.

Go get 'em! :)

Great stuff djkashuba and DD.

@Drillium Dude , 'press on, regardless'. Kudos!

On a related to the thread topic - if I were to put up 2 or 3 'Every Day Pics' - could we have an unofficial poll as to which one is the favorite?

The boys did a little driving at the farm on the 4th. :)

We stayed off the roads, for sure.
