Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

My fattie glides over those, but you also look like a madman to observers.

I smile and wave

Today's 16-mile hill and coast ride took me to the top of Poinsettia Lane, then down to the Coast Highway. Lost ~400 ft of hard-earned vertical on the always fun Poinsettia descent.

Since we've been talking about sea cliff retreat, I snapped this shot of the failing cliff between the swanky Alila Marea resort above and South Ponto Beach below.

The deeply gullied reddish upper layer is the Bay Point formation — a weak, poorly lithified sandy mudstone around 2 million years old. This badlands-style erosion is a sure sign of soft rock. Not proving to be a great foundation for the resort.

Showing directly beneath the Bay Point at the bottom of the cliff is the much stronger tan Torrey Pines sandstone, some 45 million years old. Loose cobble eroded from very hard ~130 million year-old volcanic rock some 150 mi inland protects the Torrey Pines from most wave impacts but not all.

What happened here during the missing 43 million years of geologic record between the Bay Point and Torrey Pines layers is anyone's guess.

View north from the resort. You can see why they wanted to put a resort on this vantage point, but there have already been some small slumps around the perimeter.

Love watching late afternoon sunlight play on and through the waves.

Gratuitous glamour shot. What a pleasure this thing is to ride!

Man the locals would get sick of me riding that.

You're riding to please the locals?

I saw you cheering ..

Sorry, not sure what this exchange is about now.

 

[Chargeride]

Oh sorry it wasnt you, it was a scarecrow on a yellow bench.

 

[Jeremy McCreary]

All I can say is, the bike's gotten way more compliments than I have, and I'm gorgeous.

If I had that bike and my devastatingly cute dog with me at the same time, I'd have to run from all the women.

Of course, I'd normally let them have their way with me. But I'm afraid the dog would spill the beans to my wife.

He looks like a telltale

Going on 6 years that I've had my BH gravel bike. Fun out and back 29 mile ride yesterday with 2600ft elevation gain. Not happening without an ebike.

Gorgeous! Makes me wish I'd ridden it, too.

A much better look at that BH gravel ebike, please. Pretty sure it's caught my eye before. Always a sucker for black with orange accents.

Sorry I couldn't find anything better. I like it except that BH had the Yamaha walk assist button deactivated which is inexcusable.

Entering the rainy season but nice weather for a ride today. Unfortunately cut short because historic hwy30 in the waterfall area was closed to bikes for some reason.

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area : Alert - Historic Columbia River Highway Closure

The east Multnomah Falls viaduct on the Historic Columbia River Highway, also known as U.S. 30, will close to traffic including vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians beginning Oct. 1 through spring of 2026 for repairs to the structure. The closure will be from just east of Multnomah Creek, near...

Thanks Dave. I should have checked before I went since my goal was to ride up Larch Mountain Rd. before the snow gate road closure goes into effect soon. That was on the west side past the hwy30 closure. Still was a nice day to be out even if I missed out on what I had planned to do.

Bummer, I'd love to ride that!
