Some vacation pics

I spent a week at the Colorado River over the first week of August. Since my bike goes with me on vacation when ever I can get away with it, I tried to get in 25-35 miles on most mornings. The problem is it's 90°+ at 5:30am and it only gets hotter from there. So I was off at the crack of dawn every day but that's OK with me since I'm an early riser anyway. I took these two shots with my Blackberry so the quality isn't perfect but it gets the feeling across. The desert is very quiet and beautiful at dawn.





Later in the day enjoying to quiet.

Sounds, and looks, as if you had a great vacation Metric Man. Congratulations.

Where did you get that neat helmet?

Does it still count as a vacation if you had your Blackberry on the bike?

Only if it was being used as an mp3 player...
