Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Nothing new, but my only cool pic.



I need some new material. Too bad my current camera is too big to lug on a ride.

That's a great shot. I think I would crash trying to do that!

By the way my wife got me this:



after I had killed her point and shoot on a wet ride (it got soaked in a split zip lock, in my seat bag.)

The Olymus is small, water proof, shock proof, slim and easy to operate with one hand. Great jersey pocket camera. Photos are ok for a point and shoot. I don't worry about rain, sweat, dirt and if I drop it when I am riding it should survive!

This thread made me dig out my France touring pics from 1990. Enjoy:

Me and my best friend back then in Germany were doing a trip through southern France.
Here are a view pics:
Sleeping right at the Mediterranean Sea. Next morning everything tasted like salt. Bleh. But it was beautiful to sleep right at the beach. No tent, just sleeping bags.


Stopping at the top of a mountainpass. I was the one always taking pics so I'm not in any of them
My bike was the red mountain bike. It was hell to climb in the Central Massif with such a heavy bike. But I was 17 and I didn't know any better back then. The panniers were mostly filled with water and food. Very little cloth for two weeks riding. Clipless you ask? Him and I were apprentices, we had barely any money.


I have some more and post a view more bike pics, but I'm far away from done scanning hundreds of slides.

Here's another one. This time of me lying and relaxing next to my bike at the Pont Du Gard.

We started this last year about this time ... do you have any more to add since then?


Remember ... keep them non-traditional ... no white garage doors ....

The background is clearly not a garage door.

This was shot with 35mm film and scanned in so some quality is lost, but a nice shot none the less...

Man I miss Cincy!!
You should take it up to the park in covington (forget the name, but where the "ghost hill" is...)
and snap some pics looking north at downtown and the stadiums...those would be some cool shots...
cant wait to get back up there and ride...
