SHOW us YOUR PIX here .... Odd, WeiRd ,UnUSuAl or EyE CaTchIng things from your rides

just got home from the Portland bridge ride. it was fun overall. but sections were so slow when people got benched together. they staggered the starting but there were 4 separate rides that joined in the middle of the main rides. the ride was about 25 miles but it was 18 or so miles round trip for us to get there and back. banana stations all over and at the end 2 tables of bananas and ice cream and such. I cant eat carbs so none for me. Its tough going so slow on the tandem one part it was easier to just walk. They covered the steel grate of one bridge with cardboard. Nothing like riding on the free way going the wrong way on a bike finally was able to get some speed going. We averaged 9.4 mph with a max of 28mph. Took 2 hours. they had everyone sign their names when we were finished. You see the tallest bridge we went over.

Better you than me ! That is way to many people for me. Keep looking up! Ken.
 
Here is my weird and unusual sighting for the day!
It is the front tire of the 1968 Huffy road bike, that about 5 years ago I had put the two cycle engine kit on. I took it off last year.
That would of been an experience at about 30 mph. Oh well, all fun and games! Ye, who would ride a bicycle must know how to fall.
Keep looking up! Ken.

What is odd about this pic? This spot should be packed with tourists in mid-August but nary a soul in sight. There was another report of a coyote biting a 5 year old near here today . There have been more than 30 attacks or aggressive incidents in the park since December, including one where a coyote bit a toddler and another that left a woman with a detached hamstring and nerve damage. I wonder if people ( tourists ) had previously been feeding the coyotes and now that the crowds have gone they are going through junk food withdrawals?

Car of the day is a 50,s looking Dodge Crusader ? View attachment 96208
Grampa had that car. Only it was purple and white. We never realized the old man color blind till he bought that dodge.

All us male cousins were hot to get that car when he passed it on ( gramps never kept a car long ). We didn't care about the color. It was that huge back seat we were interested in.
