Title: POST YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO RIDE (sorry 56k!)
Post by: l3uddha on August 03, 2006, 04:57:13 PM
hey all,
I went for a ride today my usual spot, & I decided to bring my digicam!  :icon_mrgreen:
I wont say where exactly it is out of respect for the other riders that go there, but it's on the South Shore, MA, about 20 minutes from my house  :thumb:

Here are a bunch of shots I took today; It's more twisties than scenic, but you get the idea- it's a crazy-technical road!

so who says there's nowhere good to ride on the South Shore?

So here is where I go every weekend. Where do you go?? 8)

No hotlinking to putfile. We don't all go to putfile.com to ride, that's for damn sure! :laugh:

Try imageshack or photobucket, both free, allow you to crop, resize, rotate, etc, and pretty reliable.

Wow...  Looks like a nice road.

Except it looks like you'd have to go pretty slow to avoid all the cowboys on the wrong side of turns.

This is a crap picture of the road.  But it is only my second favorite place to ride anyway.  5 Highway is my favorite, but this is the last straight on the "Alphabet Roads" (210 to EE to H to JJ). 

I'll post better pics after the weekend.   :thumb:

Skyline Drive in Virginia.  Find a way to beat the traffic on the northern end and it is heaven. :thumb:

ha.  NO, that's my old 2001 R6.  The pic is from a trip about two years ago.  We rode half of the parkway and camped on the Appalachian Trail before riding back.  Best ride of my life to date.

There are a couple pics of this weekend ride at one of my favorite spots.  Destro and I got out and rode.  He'll have to post pictures of him (there is one that I managed to take out of 4 attempts).

Here's where my dad, wife and I ended up riding to 2 weekends ago.  Usually more water but it hasn't been raining here.

I used to think that some local roads (1431 and Park Road 4) were my favorite places to ride.

I was wrong. My new favorite place:

Wow, there are some really nice places in this thread... One of my personal favorites is Cape Forchu, a 30 minute ride from where I live and some of the most twisty roads around. Here are a few pics of the area.

Mission Rd?  If so, that is one of my favorites too, though I enjoy it for road bicycling.  Amazing stretch of road, absolutely gorgeous.
