Thanks! I wish I woulda brought my nice camera but it still turned out alright.

Red Rock Canyon - Nevada
 

One of the most beautiful places I've ever ride...

Awesome photos! Even with the water on your lens.

Thanks! It's the desert, so I never thought that we would had such amount of rain! nevertheless the camera survived and the drop on the lens gives the pictures some interesting composition...

Ride started in the valley. Really nice roads and scenery. Beautiful weather...

GPS wasn't much help here and I was pretty much lost after this point...

Conditions deteriorating - climbed out of the valley into the clouds, temperature dropping, fog, then rain, then the tires packed with mud and sustained 12% climbing. Winding Stair Gap Rd is aptly named...

Decided to abort. Rode back to the valley and it was beautiful weather. 18 miles, 2600 ft climbing, 7.4 MPH average :o

Thank you for this photo.

I've stood right at this spot. The place looks exactly like the photo. Stunning.

Temperature was nine billion degrees the day I was there.

great ride pics this page.

Nice ride [MENTION=418438]TimothyH[/MENTION]. Gotta love that forked gravel road.

30 mile solo ride today. Great average on the way out, and then the battle with the headwind for the ride back. Loving the Mavic Ksyrium wheels I picked up on Craigslist a few months ago. Have done several rides over less than ideal roads and they are still straight as an arrow. Pardon the non matching seatpost - it's an OEM carbon post from another Felt road bike replacing a setback that came on the bike. Will probably just wrap it in carbon or matte black vinyl.

Cool bike. Fun fact, I thought those Mavic wheels were called "Krysium" until about a month ago. Just a liiiittle bit of dyslexia.

Hated the bike when I first got it. Taken me over a year of trial and error to get the fit just right. Seatpost, saddle, stem and bars along with the tape have all been swapped out. I know that most people do that, but for me, it just took a long time. Fully dialed in now, and over the winter there may be some upgrades. It will take Di2 and I am considering it heavily.

Yeah, it always takes me a lot of trial and error to get those things where I like them too. Di2 seems like it'd be a really nice way to ride, but I still like the (relative) simplicity of mechanical. A lot of new bike tech just seems to make the bikes more annoying to work on (internal cable routing UUUGGGHHH).

Internal cable routing is beautiful to look at, but a PITA to work on. Such struggle. Much cursing. Could just forgo the whole thing and buy my bosses Cervelo S2 that is has been converted already. :love:

Bike looks really nice with those wheels!

Mine are circa 2006, in a box in my closet and might go back on my bike.

Dura Ace C24 wheels are nice, light, but I really miss how the Mavics roll and believe the C24's are slower. Just something about the Ksyriums and both were completely rebuilt just before putting the C24's on.

FYI, if you can find them then buy a few spare spokes just in case. Spokes for many Mavic wheels are very rare now.-Tim-

Thanks for the link. Luckily they kept everything except for the bags when they sold them to me, so I have the spare spokes and even a wrench for them I think and the manuals and what not. Haven't even looked at that stuff yet. The front hub has a white flange with the center in carbon weave that matches my bike 100%. The rear hub is completely white. They are a mismatched set unfortunately, SR in the front, SLS in the rear. The front white spoke is not by the valve, leading me to think that they have been serviced at least once. Will try to get some better pics of them because they look like they might come stock on the bike.

47 miles. 5200+ ft climbing.

Breakneck descents through falling leaves, a six mile climb along a river with waterfalls, food/hydration/clothing/weather just right, legs felt great...

This was one of those rides we wish would never end and this is my new favorite route.

Within the first mile of my ride

You're going to want to scrub that real good now.

What happened?

Do I see evidence of previous repair work there? :p

Came in a little too hot at the wendy's parking lot. :p Did a pretty sweet slide on the smooth blacktop. My bars/stem were all crooked and there just so happened to be a bike shop in the same shopping center.
Fractured tibia from about 4yrs ago. It's funny how I seem to inflict more damage on my ankle now than ever before.
