It's a quick pic and I am not a photographer. I will try harder next time.

I guess red, but I'd sorely miss OR, WA, ID, MT.

I'd be much happier with everything west of the 100th meridian west, don't really need the rest of TX or OK

Blue is the correct answer.

red. then blue.

For last place.

Interestingly, I have only lived in NJ/PA/MD so all are orange. Unclear if I would pick that or another color. Staying orange for now since all our families are there.

I'd probably go with orange for second place, though I would give it some thought. Not much appeal to the area beyond the eastern 1/3.

Vol would be very disappointed in all my family photos from the 60s and 70s

See me after class.

I’ve ridden a bike in all four color zones, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

I’ve ridden in all but two of the blue states, which is also nice.

Can you guess which two?

Photography in the '50s(?) should be judged more leniently. Not as good equipment, and you had to pay for each shot (not knowing how they would turn out until much later). Now you can take a bunch of pictures at no cost.
RI and SD

Everyone is entitled to their wrong opinions

RI is correct.

I toured the Black Hills area in 2015.

So you think that's what's going on?

I guess yellow since I live there and I could visit my good pal Velo Vol

do you have any scars? chicks dig scars.

im graying pretty hard core from the bottom up. pretty apparent in sideburns and beard, although im clean shaven most of the time.

Nice ride today. A tad warm, at least by Peninsula standards, at about 85-88, but I loaded up my bottle with ice and headed out. At about 2 1/2 miles in, I could see something ahead of me, which turned out to be a doe and two small fawns trotting down the road. One of them needs to stick closer to Mama if he wants to avoid being Lion Chow.

As I was heading down Canada, it felt like the wind was in my face, and looking at the grass on the side of the road, it was all bending towards me. The last maybe half mile before the turn, it seemed to die down, but as soon as I turned around, it was in my face again, and sure enough, the grass was now bent towards me AGAIN. Omnidirectional goddam headwind. I looked at some weather stations on Weather Underground, and sure enough, between 11 and 1, the wind changed direction from SE to NNW. Apparently the change followed me down all 6 miles on Canada Rd, so I could ride into the wind the whole time.

I got passed twice by younger, fitter riders. The first time I TRIED to stay in contact but he was just more aero. Also stronger. The second time, I hung on a couple bikelengths back for about a mile till we parted ways. That felt good! And it turned out I'd gotten a PR for that route. Not too shabby!

Nope. Whatever is going on (not going on) started a long time ago.
The next obvious guess would be nearby CT.
You never have a hankering to return to the orange zone?
Not really. Well, I do have a surgical scar, but I have to be practically naked for someone to see it. Hernia repair when I was a baby ute.

Correct.

Let's see some of your photographic compositions.

You have.

Uncorrect. I rode in CT in 1999, 2016, and 2018.

Michigan?
