I took a bunch of pictures with it but the xd card reader I bought the other day is at my apt. I was thinking of making a video....you know East river, Hudson river, Roosevelt Island tram and horse buggies in Central Park near 'Tavern on the Green'.

That is true (I used to live in San Diego, so definitely not expecting the same weather as there), but it will still be a massive step up from D.C. area weather! I'll be in Monterey, CA working on my Master's degree. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Master Blaster Posted May 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) I had an opportunity yesterday to take a quick road trip up to Vail for the day. I picked a great day to head up to the high country as the temperature in Denver area broke an all time record of 90 degrees!! Was nice and cool in the Vail valley - around 74. Unfortunately I forgot my video camera, but I did take a few still shots with my cell phone during my ride on Vail Pass on my 16S. It was also a gas to ride through the middle of Vail Village on the Wheel. I passed a Vail Police "Code Enforcement" vehicle with officer at the wheel while in the middle of town and he just kinda waved in amazement as I went by, so glad to see they were "Wheel Friendly" on the streets of Vail Heading up to Vail Pass on bike (multi-use) trail A bit of snow up higher on the pass that has not completely melted yet: Crossing a creek on the pass trail, still a good amount of snow: View of Vail Golf course and village beyond, coming down off the pass.....the Aspen trees have not gotten their green leaves yet: Edited May 11, 2018 by Master Blaster 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post meepmeepmayer Posted May 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) My ACM is officially back in business! Did a spontaneous celebratory evening ride, just randomly curving around (ended at 40km) and taking photos occasionally. Nice warm evening weather after today's almost summery heat. Here are some pictures (apologies to anyone on mobile or with metered connections, but this is the Photo Thread). -- The route (clockwise). Going to the river (top part), south along it, around some lakes you can see there (the dark spots), and back home again. River view from the trees. (It's behind those trees) Looking south (upstream). Nearby park where another river meets it. Some nice flowers. Love locks overlooking the water. Lots of fishing going on today. Rivers meet here. Some time later, a nice side route along the way. Gravel banks. Dam. View a bit further upstream. Passing a boat ramp. Hard to see in a picture, but wonderful milky blue water color (from the sand). These pictures are at the biggest lake. Had these motives in an earlier post already. Nice sunset colors. Sunset Shortly after taking the two sunset pictures, I got my best reaction to date. A guy saw me coming from a bit away, and he did not only smile and nod in approval, he actually clapped In the twilight at some of the smaller lakes. Having fun riding around and exploring where these paths go. Spotlighted church on the way home. Another one. Panorama in the creeping darkness. To the center of the picture is the first church, to the left the other one. Mountain silhouettes to the right. That's it Edited May 12, 2018 by meepmeepmayer Forgot the best part... 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) Nice shots! I see you're getting used to your Xiaomi Mi A1 judging by the EXIF info. So it's not a turd afterall? You gotta do something about that ghetto duct tape repair. Edited May 11, 2018 by Hunka Hunka Burning Love 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) It's a semi-turd (the camera only, rest is great), but it's what I have and it's certainly good enough And those aren't repairs, it's tactical duct tapeTM used to keep some seams tight where the screwholes between the shell halves are worn out (precaution for rain/peace of mind) and to fix a back light to it because I'm too lazy to do anything more substantial.

Popular Post novazeus Posted May 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) goodbye cruel world, i mean, taking Bob for a wheel walk. on my newly healing 18s sporting the world's #1 skateboard shoe in maroon or i like to call mad dog 20 20 wine color. update, a successful outing, nobody died and i think i learn a trick about mounting, my left foot (wheel mounted foot) has only enough weight on it to hold the wheel in control, when i jump off the ground with my right foot(mounting foot) my right leg has to jump up whateve weight is left over. practice would be hopping on one foot without the wheel. so, long good walk, had to do full on leash otw back and Bob was good. got some real good exercise, but then after putting Bob back in the compound i like to run a few more laps up and down the road, and the second lap i see this big kitty trotting ahead of me, doesn’t even know i’m coming(i swear the firmware update has made this wheel more buttery) but as i get closer, i realize the kitty is a racoon, i snort, nervous giggle a bit because i’m afraid of rabies, and he turns around, sees me and gets off the road. thank u God that mr racoon showed up after mine and Bob’s walk. that could have been ugly.

Bob Eisenman Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The new route I use to Newburyport allows for some cruising speed on the Monster for about 10 miles. I'm at McD's after a short ride on my Ninebot....definitely a different riding experience as compared to the Monster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Esash Posted May 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) "The Granite Center of the World" Quote "Barre Gray" granite is sought after worldwide for its fine grain, even texture, and superior weather resistance. Many sculpture artists prefer it for outdoor sculpture.[5] In 1936 the granite quarry in Barre carved out a 35-ton cross from one section of stone in the quarry.[6] Hope Cemetery in Barre displays extensive examples of the sculptors' art.

Popular Post meepmeepmayer Posted May 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Did a little 60+km 5h30min ride today, mostly through some nice high valley Bavarian mountain scenery (starting and going back right from home, the Gotway Gods bless big batteries that allow this). Wanted to post more photos, but even the final selection after a hard fight and an extra elimination round is like 40 pictures So, here are just some of them (for your bandwidth's sake). Enjoy!

ED209 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 My Goodness, Bavaria looks so beautiful. I can only imagine how much of a joy it is to ride around over there. 16 or 18 wheel with big battery is definitely needed for your environment. ? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
