Pic of the Day

Pretty much the same route today but now in the rain and just as fun, same weather every day is boring.

I wonder how many angry lovers came back to the bridge the following year with a bolt cutter to cut off the padlock.

My boring contribution, Solo bridge building. All weekend and this afternoon so far. Still got one set of rails to do but I need food and beer.

All recycled apart from the screws/nails and the 1.2m steel fence posts I hammered in to pin it all together.

Done it as a table for all those not interested to easily scroll past ! 👍

Yup, it works well,

Just click the three dots then through table, then select the table size/format you want.

Then click in the box of the table where you want to insert, click the photo item or whatever and insert it like normal.

There was a siting about a month ago of one in a neighborhood less than 1.5 miles (as the crow flies) from my place. Most of my riding is up around Lake Pleasant, the White Tank Mountains and Cave Creek areas. It’s unlikely I’ll run across a cougar but it would suck since I usually ride alone.
Loads of cougars in Scottsdale, but they're the two legged type. 😉
 
Let's take a look at the scenery of China. I sold my Amflow PL in April and was preparing to welcome the arrival of PX. However, it didn't sell as quickly as expected in its own country....
Perhaps it won't be available for sale for another couple of months. So I took out my rickshaw and went for a ride. To be honest, I really hate climbing hills.View attachment 185716View attachment 185717View attachment 185718
Still no leaves on the trees in China; or was that a few months ago?
 
Speaking of Kranska Gora, here is a pic of the mountains near the pass. Can you spot the "lady in the mountain" hint she is in the lower center. The Heathen Maiden is a rock formation that resembles a human face. It can be seen in the northern face of Mount Prisojnik near Kranjska Gora, in the Julian Alps in northwestern Slovenia.

Have to keep what's left of my brain sharp and while trying to repair one of my old seventies Gaggia I got a new ECM and Rancilio.
Can't live without my daily couples of ristretto.

Canna quite figure you out Polar , not that I really need to? .But between your profile pic your healthy diet and your vaping I'm beginning to wonder 🤔.

My good and bad lifestyle balance each other out, and since I quit cigarettes over ten years ago and started vaping, I save over $3,500 annually that I spend on EMTB 😂
Life is about priorities.

I wish I had counted and saved what I have spent on fag's since 1991 .
 
Meant what I would have saved as I stopped in 91. Would have managed a few Ebike motors.
I concur.
I gave up in 2003 or so?
If I put aside the money that I would have spent on smokes including inflation, I'd be driving a far nicer car, riding a far nicer bike and probably be travelling a fair bit more.
For context - over the last few years, tobacco products have been taxed up the wahzoo here in NZ and a pack of cigarettes that I used to spend about $3.00 on in my day would now cost $40-$50 for a 20-pack. I used to smoke 2 packs of 30 at my healthy peak.

Yes don't miss them a bit now. But if i get a sniff of a fag outside its nice but the craving is long gone.

Just to make sure: A single box of cigarettes holding 20 zigs is costing 40-50AUD, about 27€ ? 😳
 
I quit 23 years ago at my sons christening "reception tea" in my local pub ..handed an almost full packet over the bar and said to give them to the next person who wanted to buy some ..
I hadnt really planned on it ..but I'd realised that if I continued smoking at the rate I was going I may not be around long enough to see him become a man ..
(about £4.00 for 20 back then ..)
I was 46 years old at the time ..and would even have a fag while out mtb'ing ..
Havent touched one since ..but strangely Ive always said that given the chance Id have one just before I croaked 🫣
