What a nice photo!
I want to do that ride someday. I think....

How was the Planet Ultra support?

Biker395 06-03-13 12:00 PM

You've GOT to do that ride someday. I have a place up in Mammoth ... come up next year and stay with me.

The ride support was really good. There were a lot of sag vehicles about, and plenty of food. The weather was just about perfect, too. Kinda eerie.

For me it was one hell of a weekend ... all kinds of ridiculous snafus starting Thursday afternoon and extending through this AM when I came to work with a pooped out computer. I'll write up a trip report with all of the sordid details tonight. :D

http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=321175This is later in the ride, while riding around June lake on the appropriately named "June Lake Loop."
http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=321176This shows Mono Lake in the background. We descend to Mono Lake for lunch in a park on the shore, then had to climb back up to Hwy 120 to start our climb to Sage Hen.

Birchim Lane ... I love that road.

Took this a week ago yesterday, (Memorial Day). Taken on Lake Elizabeth Road just before dropping down into Andrade Corner and the community of Lake Elizabeth. It has since burned in the Powerstation Fire, (in the mountains between Santa Clarita and the Antelope Valley). Not much smoke in the air this morning when I woke up, so maybe they've gotten a handle of the fire. I'm eager to ride out there over the weekend and put together a "before and after" set of images.

Update...

Went out this route over the weekend and this "scene" did not burn. The burn area is another mile or so west of this spot.

Saw one of these in the parking lot, which is unusual as Loovul is not a bent-friendly city:

Saw this on rounds. Always a big fan of kitty:

Me & my buddies dared to ride into the city a couple of weeks back and we sorta 'conquered' the highest twin towers this side of the world hehehe.

The Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, June 2013.

Can I play???
This was north of Memphis about 50 miles. The road was closed and it reminded me of that old Jim Stafford song, Swamp Witch Haddie!

OK, here is a pic of yours truly during a 100+ mile ride this last Saturday.

Oh well, we don't have mountains or any of that beautiful scenery...just humidity, heat and wind ;) Was 102 on the road when I finished with wind gusts of 25-30.

Location is the lighthouse in Port Isabel, TX and yes that is a chicken on my jersey!

This shows the "Midwest" section of my standard 61 mile ride (wife joined me for 50 miles).

There's also a coastal section, a redwood forest section, a small-town America section, and a river section.

Not a great photo, or great scenery, but I usually ride here to avoid the pickups. It's the "towpath" along the canal which sometimes carries the waters of the Pecos, when the Pecos has water in this stretch. The natural channel is about half a mile away...

Been there several years ago on an Adventure Cycle Tour ...That, sir ... is an amazing road! Pretty tough climb on a fixie, though.
