Seeing lots of nice sunsets riding the beach and dune trails. AWD rocks!

One of the most bizarre places I've ridden a bike is the Pike 2 Bike trail near Breezewood, PA. It is a 9 mile stretch of interstate highway abandoned in 1968 by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission. The trail passes through the 2532' Rays Hill and 6782' Sideling Hill tunnels which are (for me anyway) the highlights of the trail. You experience absolute total darkness when you switch off your light in the center of the Sideling Hill Tunnel!

Unfortunately, the tunnel walls are covered with graffiti. I made an attempt to edit out the offensive stuff in my pictures.

It has been 50 years now since the highway was abandoned and it is interesting to see how mother nature is slowly recovering her own.

Despite it's desolate look, the trail is visited by more than a thousand cyclists each year. Anyone interested should check out the website:

What a cool trail! Thanks for sharing.

Spooky cool!

REALLY spooky if you don't have a good flashlight!

Entering that tunnel, then having your lights go faulty, flickering/sputtering, before going out totally at the half-way point, is the stuff of horror movie plots...! Just thinking about that prospect now makes my neck hairs stand up...

Capital Area Greenway Trail System, I am fortunate to be close to a great trail system in Raleigh, NC but with all the rain they have been releasing water from the Falls River Dam causing my 30 mile paved trail next to the river and mostly in the woods to be blocked ever which way I go. It will drain just thought I would share some photos. Greenway here is over 100 miles all connected, great system. My bike is a VoltBike Yukon 750 2018, the rule is "Turn around do not Drown" also remember electricity and water do not mix.

There's no question, losing your light in that tunnel is the stuff of nightmares! If you look closely at the pics, you'll see two lights mounted to the handlebar. I ALWAYS carry a spare when I ride there.

Some pics from my ride today, a little chilly but dry for a change Just missed out on 100 miles due to time contstraints but happy with 96 miles on a nice sunny day This is on the road to the beautiful Scottish borders town of Peebles.

 

[Saratoga Dave]

This morning along the Mohawk River... 45 degrees but a beautiful day! No, that's not my driveway, sadly

A little further along, some open woods single tracking, about as wild as you want to get with an XM700... not a lot of tire on that thing.

I finally get to add to this thread. Here's a couple of pics of my 2018 RadRover that were previously posted on Facebook.

Afternoon commuter traffic heading westbound out of Honolulu. Takes me 27 minutes to ride 8 miles from work to home on the RadRover. By car, it's 45-60 minutes. Crazy.

Riding the RadRover in the neighborhood overlooking Pearl Harbor after some DIY brake adjustments. Circled in red is the Arizona Memorial

Stony Creek Trestle Bridge
East Gippsland Rail Trail, Victoria, Australia ...

• Stony Creek Trestle Bridge is the hidden attraction of the East Gippsland Rail Trail in eastern Victoria - extreme SE of continental Australia, about one-third of the way between Melbourne and Sydney via the scenic coastal route, Highway One.
• I rode the 94 km trail in one day. It's perfect ebike terrain (most rail trails are!) but its location is away from major centres (1700 km one way for me).

2018 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Unfortunately the over 600 balloons didn’t ascend this day because of high winds. But it was worth every mile to bike there. I have GOT to find a prettier trunk rack.

A portion of the C&O Canal Trail near Hancock, MD. The C&O runs 185 miles along the north bank of the Potomac River from Washington, DC to Cumberland, MD.



A geologic formation along the trail called "The Devil's Eye"



Ruins of the Round Top Cement Plant, a principal shipper on the canal in it's day.

Fortunately, I've never been caught up in fires or their aftermath. I can't help but wonder whether relics like the Stony Creek Trestle Bridge will meet their end in bushfires.The historic trestle bridge across the Myra Canyon on the Canadian Kettle River Rail Trail was destroyed by fire about fifteen years ago but has been rebuilt. Maybe, some Canadian forum members can add a few photos of their adventures.

Some updated pics from when the wife and I rode 30 miles round-trip from our house to Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. Ebikes are absolute best ways to avoid the traffic getting to the park. Perfect weather for the first day for the 10/6/18 7am mass ascension of +500 balloons.

2016 Radrover (his) and 2018 Radcity Step-Thru (hers):
