thank you for taking such beautiful photos, i visit frequently and look forward to your posts, both from a photographic and a bicycle perspective.
thanks for that, i'm really happy that people appreciate the work in both ways. it's a way of seeing.
That last photo is really amazing. How in the world do you avoid flats riding in terrain like that?
