Your pictures are great, and so is your Wordpress blog, but I wish you'd include some descriptions of where they were taken, and other observations you may have. Frankly, until I saw them, I never thought of the deep south as a vacation destination, but the trails you photograph are fascinating.

Sorry, you are right, and thanks for the kind words.

That one is Allatoona Creek mountain bike park, Acworth, Georgia.

Evening on the Esplanade. I didn't want to go home!

Westfork Ranch, Dallas, Georgia.

Horses are usually nervous around bikes but even with loud i9 hubs these guys swaggered up to the fence as soon as they saw me coming. I guess when you are that big you don't have much to fear.

This was a photo fail...

Definitely not a fail. Wonderful picture, makes me want to reach out and stroke that big guy's face.

Photo fail or not, today was a good day. This is where I woke up...

^ Nice! What is in that sandwich? :love:

We did a century out to the wildflowers yesterday ... it was awesome! Glad we took the bikes too ... the crowds were crazy.

The Golden Poppy is the California state flower ... representing sunshine and opportunity.

Lot of nice stuff the last couple days. :thumb:

Wife and I were on our normal Withlacoochee ride and saw this in Inverness. They later passed us as we headed north back to Gulf Junction. Got to be a couple of BF members in the group!https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...94e778cb35.jpg

May we see some closeups of this bike please?

Hi Tim, sure, here you go.

Thanks. I recognized it from the SSFG forum. Shamal wheels have always looked sexy to me.

I did a little North Georgia mixed-surface group ride yesterday - 110 miles with 11,000 ft climbing.

This was one of the more bucolic moments

Taking a breather on some tame doubletrack toward the end of the ride after three miles of mud, creek crossings and fresh gravel on 15% grades.

Cool pics as always, Tim. How long did it take to do that ride?
