Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

Really miss the magpies we had there. Those bold white markings againt the alternating black and iridescent midnight blue — exquisite!

I didn’t realize how striking their plumage was. Thanks for sharing those images.

With plumage like that, they're probably pining for the fjords.

Lots of crows and ravens here, too. Bigger than the ones we had in Denver. Really miss the magpies we had there. Those bold white markings againt the alternating black and iridescent midnight blue — exquisite! And they may be even smarter than crows.View attachment 163286View attachment 163287

White pelicans visited our little lake in Denver for a few days every summer, but don't recall seeing brown pelicans there. We also got gulls now and then.

looking good but noisy and bossy, when the magpies arrive in our yard the other bird species leave, interestingly, a previous Auzzie member on the site would comment how the magpies dive bomb the cyclists in Australia in the spring, I thought he was joking but I guess it really is a thing ...

Our Denver neighborhood had lots of magpies. Definitely noisy but pretty well-behaved otherwise.

Odd that they'd target cyclists in Australia. Corvids remember humans who mistreat them and somehow pass that knowledge on to their clan, including their young. Clan members will then scold or buzz the offending humans when seen again.

But cyclists?? A statement about lycra?

I was buzzed by a pileated woodpecker last month. At first I thought it was just coincidence, but after I turned around at the end of the cul de sac he flew right over me again and back to his original tree where he loudly told me that I was on his turf. Really surprising since they are usually pretty reclusive.

We once happened to visit the small mountain town of Redstone, CO when the trees and air were full of hummingbirds. In their minds, Redstone was theirs, and they aggressively scolded and buzzed any and all interlopers.

If hummingbirds can be that badass, really makes you wonder about unicorns.

I took some pictures on my ride today,..

 

[DaveMatthews]

Well it's been a week...
Finally got over the gut ache/pain on Tuesday and work filled the rest.
Today peaked around 16C or so and I headed out just before then with 2 layers of long sleeves. At first it felt a bit cool, but warmed up nicely.

Blasted down a usual path heading South...



Blew through Watershed Park...



Then all the way East on Colebrook Road to King Geo Hwy...



Tripped over this new installation...



It's an "odour control facility". Funny that at the very right of the facility is an outhouse. Lol!



Anyway, bolted home and covered around 26kms. Good to be back in the saddle.

Picture where I had late breakfast.
I ride 17-20 miles 5x weekly to work basically riding laps to work and home.
This morning I rode 7 miles to Pearl Ridge. For Vietnam Pho 100% beef meat and broth. Then rode my Toyota to collect rent.
Good Day!

Nice recovery Dave. Stoked to see you taking a Stance against that naughty virus.

Some footage from a ride last week along local singletracks starting out with a short run behind Garden Heights then downhill to MacKenzie Trail followed with a feature ride on a technical root bound connector as we slowly make our way up towards the main trunk of the Bench Trail. We eventually exit onto the wide-open grassy expanse which is the site of the Riverbend XC ski venue. The metal bash plate under the motor housing definitely got a workout on this ride and the low end grunt of the Levo made quick work of most of the tougher rooty sections.

Great trail! I think I got a good upper body workout just watching it!

Autumn has always been my favorite season, and my local park is resplendent with appropriate colours.

Not been riding as much as my left knee has finally said that it's had enough, so when my spot comes up for a new one I will take the spot this time. I've been on and off the waiting list since around 2010, and have been able to continue with minor pain management therapy and lots of e-biking. There are times when it just collapses, and that get's awkward at times when riding in the hills (or when golfing). A few minor tumbles lately that wouldn't have happened with a properly functioning leg.

But, that's life and I'll deal with it - based on some incidents in the past, I'm fortunate to be still riding at all.

Finally, I did say that Autumn is my favorite season, but for us in southern Alberta, we often joke that "Autumn is our favorite week".
It truly is that way sometimes, but hopefully not this year. We had a wonderful summer and the mid-range forecast is not too bad.

Stay vertical everyone!
