Since 2010, I ride every day of the Tour. I got a couple of hours in before the time trial started today. The year I retired, I rode the winning time every day. That was a lot of work.Watching the Tour kick off! One of my favorite things to watch every year

I would guess it is unlikely to be corn! The old saying where I grew up for a good corn crop was "knee high by the 4th of July"!! Planting this late I can't imagine it being done before the first frost, then again, I ain't no farmer!!! Great pix, thanks for sharing!!!!
That looks like some killer riding! Amazing how progressive y'all are up there, a picnic area just for balloons (4th photo)!! I would think they would have a cover over that area in case any of those floaters become un-tethered!!!Got some time off so went looking for rides I haven't tried yet...
First up is the Seymour Valley Trailway and Spur 4 loop...

It takes around 45 mins to an hour to get up to the Seymour Dam. This holds a lot of the potable/drinking water for the area.

From the dam, the trail to Spur 4 gravel road is relatively short but very steep. Stopping on it would be a mistake. At least 3 times my front wheel wanted to lift off the trail.

The Stance with the Maxxis Rekon tires was made for this type of ride. Very smooth even on -12 descents on gravel.

I don't see a guitar stand on EITHER of those bikes! Do you strap one on your back? Asking for a friend!!My son had a day off today as well so we both ventured out. Decided on the Greenway to Tynehead as he had not done that yet.
On the way was a curious object on the side of the path.
A small stand with hand sanitizer, and a lit incense stick...

No, it was only 30 kms.I‘m assuming that’s a fairly long ride. Are you recharging your Ebike battery?
