Pics from my ride today

[Haywood]

Well, I took a solo 425km (255mile) ride today, so no action shots, sorry. These pictures were taken on one of my favourite local roads, which is partially closed during the winter (Dec 01 through June 15 due to animal migrations in the mountains). Unfortunately my pictures really don't do this area or road justice... it's really a beautiful ride in terms of scenery and very fun due to the twisties.

On this one road today (50km/30miles) I saw 14 deer, 4 Rocky Mountain sheep (those ones with the big curly horns!), and 2 Elk..

Anyway, enough of my ramblings... 6 pictures coming.

Thanks BLKBLU04.. let me know when you're headed this way and hopefully we can hook up. I'll let you know if I'm coming to SBW or just your way for a bit of fun.

It might be the second week of July when the wife and I might come out. Be great if we could hook up.

Cool.. do me a favour though.. remind me when it gets closer, please.. I'm due to ride to Vancouver this summer to visit my brother and his wife, but I'm not sure when he's taking time off.
