Nice. My all time favorite bridge. I'll roll out mine another time.

We have some genuine old-fashioned wooden covered bridges in my county, I will have to try to snap a picture of one next time I ride by.

Is the guy on the right actually taking a leak?? I don't see a stream but I am guessing there is one.

The Newburgh/Beacon Bridge, one of many spanning the Hudson River.

Another view, this is what it looks like heading east towards Valley Forge...

Much nicer in the fall, with fresh paint.

Halls Sheeder Bridge, another covered bridge I ride on frequently (also not my pic), this one has a sign that says "bicyclists dismount" but no one does.

Well yeah, cuz it's so much safer to be twice as wide, three times as slow and half as manoeuvrable.

WTG stupid sign.

Looking forward to tomorrow's weekly Wednesday club ride...trying to decide if I should take the Ti Habanero or the new Roubaix.

Leaning towards the Roubaix.

my shoulder is still clicky and weird. Breaking bones is stupid. I want my stock collarbone back.

Maybe the clearance isn't high enough.

Cool bridge.

Velo Vol 06-04-13 05:15 PM

How do you suppose a bedridden coasting got sunburned? Was he sunning himself in bed? That's even weirder than sunning yourself in a car.

2 questions in one post. Outstanding !

Just came back from the pool.

Swimming is boring.

See, I consider it blissful and zenlike.

So, my scale arrived, and after being very well-hydrated all day at work I came home and did:

http://www.trainerroad.com/cycling/rides/335574

in a 95* garage with a single fan, while downing a bottle of water. Showered, hopped on the scale... 169.4lbs. I didn't feel dehydrated, but nonetheless, I'm knocking down a large pitcher of smoothie and still need dinner.

I'm still happy to be under 170. Will see what it says in the morning, at a more average time.
