Great job with the photo sharpening and coloring, don’t know if you prepped for them for uploading – but however they were touched – it looks awesome.
I always think how awesome the bay area is for riding, and it is.. but look at those shots! and I can’t help to notice that, when off of 395, there’s no traffic!

I know, I know, shameless butt kissing, no matter, I think when you’re an interesting person you get interesting comments.
Ben,
Thanks for reading my blog.
Actually none of the pictures have been altered. I am taking them with a $99 Fuji finepix point and shoot. I can’t afford to replace a nice camera when I’m mainly taking pictures on the bike on the fly.
The riding and the weather has been spectacular, albeit hot, still spectacular. Clear blue skies no traffic no smog and epic 20 mile climbs what else can an Ultra cyclist wish for?
Ben I appreciate the kind words. Please pass my blog on to your wife I’m sure she won’t find my SRM power charts as interesting as you do 😉 and you’ll have nothing to fear in the end 😉
go Vireo!
less than 30 days until the Furnace Creek 508
