Show us your ride/run!
BY: Kido on 2010-06-19 10:15 PM

I have been wanting to start this thread up for some time and I hope it gets legs...

Every area has it's own beauty (even Las Vegas!).  Let's see some of your local ride/runs.  It may help give ideas to people if they ever visit!

I hope you play along and I will go first...

This is exactly where I'm going tomorrow (maybe you've passed me before ). I'll try and take some pics of Lake Mead rides later in the week.

After looking at those pics, I'd be embarrassed to post any thing from my rides and runs.  The scenery looks amazing.

There is no thrill in easy sailing when the sky is clear and blue. There is no joy in doing things which anyone can do. But there is some satisfaction that is mighty sweet to take, when you reach a destination you never thought you'd make!

Doudy Draw trailhead looking at the Flatirons above Boulder Colorado.  This is a hard run but the scenery is so rewarding!

Please stop posting, those amazing pictures are making me sad. Nothing near Houston is that beautiful.

OK, we gotta break these gorgeous views up with something much less interesting! Kansas fields!



And then we have this, too... weather.

This was a race I did a few years ago called the Sawtooth Century. 100 miles and over Galena (the mountain in the pic) twice. It was crazy.

That's only half the pack:

This isn't local, but we've already got one picture of Kansas fields.

Bonus points for the first one to guess what state these pics were taken in.

Here are some shots I did not take (credit to Josh Metzler from the Roanoke Times) of one of the coolest rides in around. It was written up in the local paper several years ago http://www.roanoke.com/outdoors/biking/road/wb/4891

Here is the tower that the article is talking about

some shots from the ride (originally appeared in the Dan Casey article).

I will post more rides later.

This is correct.
You are correct.
Therefore, you are this.

Not the greatest pic, but this was on my commute (I could go off road or on-road) to my old job. Still part of my standard MTB ride when the fat tire bike gets lonely for some Dave time.
FYI: This is where they shot the beach landing scene in Amistad.
