Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

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.
Better late than never Randall. 👍I honestly couldn’t tell during our last ride this past summer. Hope everything goes well and we’ll touch bases soon enough.
 
A couple of pics from today's 21km ride:

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.

Very technical trail--nice work. 👍
 
Today is the last of the sunshine for a few days. Rain tomorrow so I had to get out!
I haven't done this route for a while, so what the heck? 35kms.

This is the entrance to the Alex Fraser bridge which crosses the South arm of the Fraser River...



Here we are looking up river/East at the top...



After traversing Annacis Island, this is looking East on the North arm of the Fraser River...



Floating homes on the river. I saw one for sale for a measley $950,000!!!



Had to ditch the second layer...



Tiny boat...



Had to take this picture...







This boat has a skeleton crew...







Need a new car?



And finally looking West from the bridge on the way home...

Looked like an epic day for a ride and those images of the Fraser are great. I’m envious. There’s just one thing missing, a shot of you launching from your own jump. Now that would be bad azz. :cool:
 
I rode the Mississippi River Trail yesterday. I started in Rosemount MN and rode to Highway 61 in Hastings MN.

I even had the opportunity to see part of the bison herd in the Spring Lake (Dakota County ) Park. Earlier this year, when the bison calves were younger, they have a distinctive red color. Now their color matches the adults.

There was a guy near the trail flying kites, too. They are a bit unique looking.

Beautiful snake. Copperhead?
Hell No !!
Nothing poisonous in Ontario except the Massasauga rattlesnake, and they are extremely rare and endangered.

I'm pretty sure it was a garter snake,..

It may have been an Eastern Fox Snake?
It did have stripes.
It is endangered as well.

It was a very friendly snake.
It let me get within 2 inches for a picture.
