Shared this in the Addiction thread a couple weeks ago, but this is a better place for it-
That's Skyline Drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Clouds rolling up and over the top of the mountains made for some cool fog moments.

Non omnino gravis
Too much scenic scenery up in this piece. Time to bring it back down to earth with the stunner that is Moreno Valley, California.

Though in this photo it looks like the tarmac to the right of the cracked part is probably good enough to ride on.

It's kinda like a road, sort of.

icyclist posted the following photo here that shows an empty road ahead, taken on the road. I think it's an amazing photo, and would love to see more that others have taken. I understand that not all shots can be car free, but without another bike in view, it's kind of like just being out there.
Here's a more recent photo, made a few weeks ago below Lone Pine Peak, while starting out on a ride up the Whitney Portal Road, at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in California:

Gawd I hate cracked asphalt like that. I "take the lane" by riding to the left of it if the road isn't too busy, but I keep looking back to see if any cars are coming up behind me, necessitating a prudent swerve back to the right edge of the asphalt.
Though in this photo it looks like the tarmac to the right of the cracked part is probably good enough to ride on.

No need for a mirror on that stretch of road. I could have counted the cars that passed (both ways) on one hand, over a stretch of several miles. Which is probably why the pavement looks like that-- just no reason to re-pave it.

Road to Granite Flats near my home on Utah's Wasatch Front. Box Elder Peak in the background.
