In the summer amongst all the great summer time activities I love biking. I usually ride twice a day for the most part. An early morning road bike ride on my very old
Miyata 1000 touring bike.
I cruise around
Whitefish, Montana on the trail system and the back roads. This ride is to get the blood pumping and to enjoy the greenery, mountains and this place I love. As you can see this is not a serious road bike ride. I have changed out my handle bars from drops to upright, tossed out the old toe clips and straps for a nice platform pedals. I run errands with my panniers and my wonderful new handle bar bag by
detours.
This bike ride is not about air temperature but rather about turns. One of the areas I enjoy to ride around is farm land and true to farm land you have a lot of 90 degree turns. Each turn one gets to view another part of the valley and the mountains.
Here is a smattering of 90 degree turn photos:
You might say why is this all a big deal the other 10 months of the year this is my world:
