I was trying to put together pictures from my rides, to show non-riding friends one of the reasons why I ride. Here's a very poor effort at it, which I call "Canadarama"

Maybe that's why I never saw it.

Yes, we do need do a ride in one day. We keep talking about it and as long as we don't end up on top of Tam in the rain, I think I can keep up with you. The only dates I am free for the rest of the month is the 23rd, 24th or the 29th.

Not an artistic picture but of bicycling interest, the opening ceremonies and introduction of the Discovery team at this years Tour de France.

Thanks guys. I'll tell my wife the compliments.

If you haven't taken your bike to Angel Island, you need to do it now.



What do you think I did?




The Tiburon Mile Swim goes from the beach in the lower right hand corner to the first harbor entrance you see on the other side. I've done it twice.

For those of you who are trying to put together a panoramic photo from your many. Check out this site/software called AutoStitch
https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html

It does most of the work for you. all you have to do is put the photos in order.
