Re: On the road today....

Here's one that I took last week. The interesting part is at the bottom, the hand written posting that says, "Work is slavery. Capitalism is prison." Of course, that means this pole is near the University.

....uhm.....for some reason the forum isn't interested in actually performing the upload of the pic......standby......

I couldn't get that function to work at all last time I tried to upload a pic, so I opened a photobucket free account to link the pic...

Re: On the road today....

Here are three pics, partly as an experiment to prove that I am the upload master and partly to show rides from the last week.

The forestry road is through a large commercial pinus radiata forest, and I rode about 14kms of gravel logging roads on my Caad 9 as part of a 100km loop. Just sheer grin inducing stuff, quite rough in places, but the solitude and the challenge make it.

The inner city one was me playing with the tilt shift app in my phone.
Almost makes Auckland look like a real city.

The sunny pic was taken on a mid week ride mid ride, in the countryside north of the city. Lovely quiet roads.

No, that's not true, most geckos are sinister at birth, but have their cack-handedness beaten out of them by parents, so they end up being almost invariably ambidextrous.

Humming birds, tres cool. Do they hum in an absent minded fashion, or are they quite purposeful with it?

Very artistic cell phone photo work there, Taniwha! Auckland looks very goth....

We don't know for sure yet and we're a bit divided on our expectations. I'm hoping they hum Beatles songs, but the Missus prefers gangsta rap.

Their slave parents, of course.

Good stuff. It's always heartening to see a dirty bike, one used the way their supposed to be used.

Oh, he's grubby in a lot more ways--some of the bestially immoral and vegetatively erotic--than you could possibly imagine.
