Took the long way home folks. It's color season here in the mountains :waytogo

General road & scenery pics :smile

A few stitches, some are panoramas, some are just a couple pics put together for more depth :grin

Molly wanted to pose a little: :burnout

Hope you enjoyed!

I very much DID enjoy. You could put these in the ducs-in-the-wild thread.

I think we skipped Fall in Ohio.

Went straight to early Winter.

The leaves are changing but the temps are getting pretty chilly for bike ridin'.

Rode 117 miles today and only saw 3 other bikes on the road.

Temps in the mid 50s. Later in the week the high temp isn't suppose to get out of the 40s.

Last year we had 70s up until the 17th of November.

Great photos JM.

We're still waiting on leaves to change in the city. $:-\$

Ditto here in California. 3 Weeks ago, 100 degrees. ~2 weeks ago, 70s. Not too cold to ride but definitely time to change jackets and start wearing riding pants all the time.

Very nice pics! I wish I could get a view like that.

It's rainy and miserable in the Northeast corner. Cold and wet = bummer.

Those are the kinds of views I miss from living in the midwest, but as part of the trade-off...I get year-round riding in SoCal so it's all good.

GORGEOUS pics JM. Thanks for sharing those!

now why does that road look so familiar...

Beautiful pictures -- Thanks!

Here's the song that's often in my head when I've got somewhere else to be, but my front wheel has other ideas...

Great shots! I hope that you don't mind I did some color adjustments on a few of them for you:

Before:

After:

You get the idea:

I do believe those pictures remind me of a trip I took last week.

wish I had hose kind of roads here; I'd always take the long way home. Where is that exactly?
