More photos from the Aveyron and Tarn et Garonne, southwestern France. In August 2009 my wife and I spent a month here wandering around on bikes and in a borrowed car.
Road to Sanvensa, near where we were staying.
Road to Testas.
Between Testas and Le Batut.
On the road to Cordes-sur-Ciel.
San Antonin-Noble-Val, where some friends of ours live.
If you ever get the chance to spend time in rural southwestern France, jump on it!

A couple from when I rode an anti-clockwise loop from Briancon to the Col Agnel (Col Agnel road photo posted earlier) and over the Col d'Izoard.
Combe du Queyras
Just past the turn off to the Col d'Izoard - Chateau Queyras

This thread should be hidden in winter. It's just too cruel.

Had the day off work last Friday, so I decided to sleep in and then roll the legs over along Beach road. It was a bit warm, already over 30 when I left home and well on the way to the forecast maximum of 35. Saturday was hotter again and hit 38!
Beach road is a very popular training route for cyclists in Melbourne, Australia. Starting only a few kilometres from the CBD, it follows the east side of Port Phillip bay and offers great water views with some long streches sans lights.
Usually swarming with bikes over the weekend, these photos show the road as quiet as you can expect them...
Heading south to Ricketts Point
North of Mordialloc

I haven’t looked at all the photos on this thread, but the ones I have are beautiful, and all seem rural. Here’s an urban one that I see often on my daily commute. It’s on the Avenue Louis Pasteur in Boston, looking toward the Harvard Medical School. I’m intrigued by how the center line bisects the columns of the portico.

My current local training routes are pretty boring, so instead I thought I'd post a few more from my month last Autumn in the French Alps.
Barcelonette loop - 4673m elevation over 120km. Three cols - Col de la Cayolle 2326m, Col des Champs 2080m, and Col d’Allos 2250m.
Mid climb up the Col de la Cayolle
Top of the descent south off the Col de la Cayolle.
Last switchbacks on the Col d'Allos
Descent off the Col d'Allos to Barcelonnette

This is in a corner of the Paint Rock Valley in North Alabama. I climbed up the "mountain" and took this pic after I lost traction on a slippery spot on the road:
I still had a ways to go to get to the top:

Highway 36 scoffs at E.V. (Pool) Putman Highway and its feeble attempt at curves.

Here are some pics from Amelia Is. FL earlier this month.

I pulled over to take this pic. One minute later, after I got under way again, I was left hooked by a car and my bike was totally destroyed. RIP Lemond Zurich.
