Back on the road bike after Sunday's heat soaked, joint aching ride. The temps have dropped quite a bit and it was in the upper 70's today with a slight breeze.

A shot of Vasona reservoir and the paddle boats that are rented out on the weekend.

The ride was 22 miles and 1300 feet of climbing.

This is the bridge you see in the shot above in the background

I rode up to Villa Montalvo park in the foothills of Monte Sereno (Where the average cost of a home is in the millions) They have a stage for concerts during the summer.

Before my ride, I stopped by Costco which is a bulk discount store. I picked up some apple juice in small jars which I will use as an energy source mixed with water for my rides.

I always like to test out the Galaxy S8 camera and this shot showed the vivid colors with no additional modifications.

Happy Tuesday!

Hello friend, the hand of your photography is very good. Nice bicycle, good weather and nice photography color. Nice ride.

Hi, thanks for the complement regarding the photos. I just follow a few basic rules when taking the shots and they seem to come out ok.

  • @glennolua how good friend that the temperatures are more pleasant. So you can make your routine more comfortable and with a cool temperature. How beautiful the vasona reservoir with its beautiful landscape and the rowboats of various colors. Your bike is very spectacular and should fly on the road. The bouquet of flowers is very pretty the petals of the flowers are too beautiful. Happy night, dear friend.

Looks like a pretty good ride man!
