Thanks, I’m in the best shape of my life still. I’m mixed on e-bikes. I love that it gets more people riding. But, like you said when you need to find a new group because everyone switches that’s no fun.

Great ride! You must be in good shape to handle that kind of climbing.

Yeah, e-bikes. In my local bike club's slow group, we now have more people on e-bikes than normal bikes. I can't keep up with the "slow" guys anymore. And the rides keep getting longer. Because they need the exercise, I guess?

I hate to have a negative take on e-bikes. I love that people are out riding. But it feels sad to me, too. This is probably the last year I'll ride with the local club. There's just no place for me on a normal road bike anymore. I don't know what to think about that. Doesn't feel good.

Nice shot of the tree fern! Sun illuminating the foliage with dark contrasting background is brilliant!

We think ‘Faithful’ would be a good name for your bike. Great to meet a Canadian, eh?

Not intentional but it is a unique reflection.

Amazing to have local help. She may have stopped by me. I had a lady slow down with a sheep truck and asked if I was okay. I was just stopped for dinner.

Interesting reflection from the glass on the boat at top right side. It almost appears as if you are sailing into the heavens !
