Clear path to the BBQ - I like it. My backyard looks similar but I focused on a clear path to the hot tub only. Priorities I guess.

No Bike, but it was a nice hike...................

Very Cold morning, but still a nice way to start the day....................

I know everyone has privacy concerns on the interwebs but why don’t people update their User CPs so we can at least see the state they live in? I see these wonderful pictures but have no idea what state or area they were taken.

No bike, but more wild life, taken by my son-in-law while kayaking.

1st thing I'm gonna do when we get out of this condo is get a hot tub!

I went to the bike path near here yesterday.

Keep seeing this car in the same place. I bet for at least a year it comes and goes.

looks like a nice ride! I'm curious about the lane markings? does this mean 2 lanes in one direction & one lane in the other direction? wonder why? do they change at diff. areas like up or down hills?

The far left lane is for walkers/runners, etc. There are miles of this path and most of it has the extra lane and most of the foot traffic stays in that lane. Of course there are always knuckleheads who block the path but this is the best path for riding that I have ever been on. You can actually get up to speed for extended periods and there are no road crossings or chances to encounter a car.

oh interesting! don't know if it would fly in our area

We don't have any of that white stuff but most bike paths are plagued by the reeling leash.
This path does have benches where you can take a break and watch people.

looks lovely. I like the wide unpaved section for I'm guessing runners in any direction? or horses?

There are equestrian trails but I've never seen a horse out there, or horse droppings. I have seen runners on that dirt section. Closer to my house there are a lot of horses and some of the trails take quite a beating from the hooves, especially after a rain.
Here is my mtb on a horse trail which has become a rut.

:thumb: here we call them bridle paths. they do make good cycling, until they get deep & sometimes too narrow for my pedals

11 miles across the city from my pic at Greenwich observatory upthread, this one is taken from Parliament Hill in north London.

Like all your shots of London. Was there back in 94 and one of the best trips ever. Just waiting to get back there some day. How about a ride through some of the historic areas for us? :)

Thanks, and yes sure, provided I'm in town at the time, and I can fit it in around my work, I'll gladly give you a cycle tour covering places you'd like to visit. I'm out and about cycling all the time, ridden over 250 miles in London this week, so I have a pretty good knowledge of the city and finding my way around on 2 wheels. There's been a massive improvement in cycling infrastructure since 1994, which will make cycling loads nicer than when you last visited.:thumb: At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious I would advice against coming in January of February though, it's bloody orrible here today, cold, wet with 30mph gusts of wind, not ideal cycling weather...I still went out in it though:)

Not a great photo, but I felt the need to honour this brave cherry tree near Victoria Park in London, for being the first tree blossom and first natural bringer of colour to the concrete jungle I've seen this year. It might only be mid February and today was cold, wet and windy, but this early starter is a harbinger of a longer, warmer days to come....hopefully sooner rather than later.

looks more like a plum tree then a cherry tree.

:lol: my tree knowledge is not good, so I bow to your knowledge, I shall try again, bravo first PLUM tree of the year! :)
