Now, we hit a few small rollers

Starting a 3 mile climb up North Fairfield road, headed North into Beavercreek.
(I dialed my power up to 86 jigowatts and dropped the poser on the sidewalk with ease:D )

Sorry some of the pictures suck, but I took most of them while moving and the camera is kind of beat.

You call those climbs? ;)

Nice pics...

Hey...it's Ohio..:p

Heh, we have the same Sigma computer. :D If you like it, you should try their new digital double wireless. I put it on my folder and really like it. Incredibly easy setup, and it's very forgiving with distances between sensor and magnet, etc. I'm waiting for someone to stock the second bike extra mounting unit...

But on topic... nice pics! :)

Here's a few of my recent camera-phone pics (If only my phone was a better camera) from recent rides around the Salt Lake City area;

Antelope Island early in the morning. So very nice!

The trail you pictured, was it some type of rails to trails or what? Thanks

We have an extensive rail-trail system out here. The ones I pictured are in Greene County and are some of the best.

Great shots, I always thought Ohio had some great rides, especially as you head south and east from Colombus. TOSRV is a great ride, and there was another one just south of Columbus whose name escapes me that about killed me. Thanks for the great pics.

Nice pics ... always great to see photos from other folk's rides!

HWS, are your bars crooked or is that an optical illusion?

I think in Ohio they say cricked. ;)

Nice Fuji! My riding buddy owns the exact same one (It's a little more beat up however).

man... i wish pittsburgh was flat.... i'd ride 35 miles a day too. :(

i drove through xenia ohio last weekend coming here to school in VA, and i remember seeing a water tower with the town name on it, and under it said something of the sort of "cycling town". could you explain what it does say and way?

Holy flat...nice ride, up until the last 2 pics where the roads get really busy....

What?! I used to live in Pittsburgh, now I live in Florida. Wanna trade?

Of course, I'll regret it in January....

Isn't that Dave Chapelle's neck of the woods?

Very nice roads HWS, I wish NE OHio was like that, instead we have roads that only Marcus Grunholm could have been sinister enough to drive on. I also see that it's not just me that has flat land. Oh well, I have the RR Valley.

wow i really love the island pic

Uhh....not that I had noticed.....then again, I don't notice much:o

Yeah. I've seen him walking in town and on the MUP a few times.

The traffic can get heavy, but I have never had a problem with drivers not giving me any room or being rude. It's a pretty bike friendly area IME.

Oh the memories....nice to see pics around Yellow Springs!

I went to school at Antioch and now I kinda miss the place...

From what I can tell, it hasn't changed much.......since the 60's.:)

HWS
You gonna do Fred's Time Trial tomorrow? If interested pm me. Starts at 8:30.

Nice pics. Many personal Daytonian sufferfests have happened on those roads and paths.
