I made a run for Angeles Crest today. Only got as far as Crystal Lake. I started my ride at Encanto Park. I was toast by the time I got to 5000'. Started getting cramps and such, so decided to start my descent. This was my 2nd climb to Crystal Lake. My goal is to get all the way to Dawson's Saddle before weather makes this ride undoable.

The road to no where,
Glendora Mountain Road
Glendora Mountain Road
and Crystal
Lake Bowl behind it.
A couple of shots taken last time up my favorite ride in the local Southern California mountains.

BTW if you live in Esco sometimes just point your bike east and you get some pretty open roads.

mine get blown away by a lot of the pictures on here (and they're taken with an iPhone), but these are from the mad river valley century ride in VT:

Beautiful pictures, Ice41000, thanks for sharing them. I'd be interested in seeing more pictures from Croatia, as I don't really have a good idea of what the local scenery would look like.

Just wondering what kind of camera you guys are carrying with you. Some of the pictures are spectacular and abviously not taken with your phone's camera or a P&S! I have a nice DSLR camera, but I really don't want to take it on rides.

Here is a stretch of the Kaumualii Hwy on the SW shore of Kauai, near the Pacific Missile Range airport. Shot with my Iphone and the Hipstamatic photo app.
