Spotted this from the bike, behind our building last night after a grocery run.
Ran in, stashed the bike, grabbed the camera, and came back with just enough daylight left for a quick shot...

Bikes: Bikes??? Thought this was social media?!?

Some may be dupes in Ride Thread, in recent days

Without comment other than I like deep forests and such.


An old faithful bike, thru many prior builds and going forward maybe.




Roadside




It’s a valley - shared with those speeding elsewhere - road is I-90.
