Good way to get away from the floods... head to the hills.

Lol, looks like we were on the same part of the hill:

And although the flooding has receded a lot, there's still plenty of water in the Avon:

Very cool MoPho. Are they shot from the bike or a vehicle?
Nice bike... you ever take it off any sweet jumps?

Thanks! Shot from the back of a van, along with some other "sorcery" :twisted:

Today almost 200 km including the course of the local Gran Fondo of last week end here in the Fraser Valley/ BC Canada.

Coming back to Langley I got the help of an electric scooter for 10 km!

The only problem is that he was driving 34-35 km/h only (I suppose that this is Vmax he allowed to do) so I decided to relax behind him

I will have to talk with my wife if she wants to drive something like this and me on the bike behind [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] I don't know however how much is the maximum distance he can drive on a full charge [emoji51]

Cold but rewarding ride.

-2deg when set off at 9am.

I'm trying to improve quality of my photos as I want to show off local rides.

Lots and lots of wind today in Belgium (5bf and more). This poor three didn't survive. Lucky there was no cyclist on the cyclepath or road at that moment :shock:

@Squashed: We really must stop following each other around. What's really spooky is that not only are we riding in the same places at the same times but also that we are taking the photos in the same places.... And yet we still haven't met. :?

Great photos. Can you tell me about riding in NZ? Are there many quiet side roads, how does the traffic treat you, etc? Also, where would you suggest one stay to hit up a lot of great climbs, with low traffic if one was to visit? Thanks. And I think NZ is now on my short list of places to visit.
