Over the years I have done hundreds of rides, often alone but more fun with friends or even relatives. Usually I just ride for the joy of it, but occasionally, usually with a friend, we do a "theme" ride. Scenic overlooks, parks, museums, neighborhoods, lakes (there are a bunch), cemeteries, churches, re-purposed fire stations, bronze statues, historical preservation sites, river rides, colleges, bridges, interesting architecture, DQ's, polling places, street art - and I do the wonderful Schaar's Bluff trail 3 or 4 times a year.
I always try to take at least one photo on every ride. I have thousands.
So, I have been reviewing my bike ride photos and created an online album, a representative sampling of the totum, mainly for my own benefit, trying to remember the locations while I am still capable.

I'm loving those photos! There are things I didn't know about, and will add to my summer "Places to Visit" list. You should publish these as a travel/bicycle/tourist book. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun. I tried to guess first, then read the title. I didn't keep score.
