Hello all, here is my morning ride at Sanborn Park in Los Gatos, California. The shot below is near the start of a 3 mile climb, it is nice a green with ferns, large boulders, moss and a small creek running by.
The ride was 22 miles and 3.2k of climbing! (Glad it's done!) The weather for January was quite good around 68*f.
GPS data is from a Garmin Vivoactive HR, Wahoo fitness HRM
This is a shot taken a few yards past the top photo and looking back down the trail. You may be able to see that large boulder in the background.
The small creek running through the area
The older I get, the more I enjoy being outdoors and with nature
On the ridge, there is another park named Castle Rock State park where there are a lot of huge boulders as well, covered in green moss. An interesting landscape. The bike by the way is a Norco Team Carbon, around 23.5 lbs.
More boulders! (Many families hike around here and kids get to crawl around on them. Some rock climbers come here to tackle the huge rock faces.
This is a shot looking towards Santa Cruz, a little overcast in the morning. The other side of the hill is Santa Clara which was mostly blue skies
Heppy Beautiful Superbowl Sunday!
Aww....so nice 😍. I'm jealous with all the greens you got there.

I can tell you that I was exhausted at the 20 mile mark. The 3k of climbing includes some short steep sections between 15% and 20% grades.

The longest I've cycled on a road bike is 83 miles. The pic your talking about is a short video that is converted to a gif which is a shorter version of a video. Like 3 frames per second.

The key for phone pics is to use the focus feature (small square box), the next is to take 2 photos focusing on different areas for different exposures. Then you choose the one that looks the best...
