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

My mountain pics are almost all here:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/14302884@N04/sets/


But some examples:

At the end of a very long, frustrating day in the Snowy Mountains, Australia (2004).



Mt Wellington behind Hobart, Australia ... on a tour in 2004.



Touring the Canadian Rockies with Rowan in 2005.




Sinclair Pass near Radium Hot Springs on a tour in 2007.



And of course all of these sets of photos ...

I know this is the RB forum and all, but sometimes it takes a different type of bike to get a pic like this. Five feet behind me is a ~1000' cliff.

i'm wondering if that pic 2 above mine is also mt evans. it says 14 something on that sign, and the background could be CO, but i'm having a hard time thinking of where that could be on the summit.
