Favorite Photos from 2015

This idea started on another group I'm in, and thought it would be cool to try here. Post your fave pics of what made 2015 an awesome, or memorable year!

Here are my favorites from the year as a large set: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/sets/72157663423395965

But the ones I think I like the most:

















This last one isn't mine, but love it of my kid being miserable @ Vail Lake!

 

Those are phenomenal pictures. Nice thread idea too!

 

@herzalot Thanks! I take a lot of flippin' pictures, fun to look back!

 

Always a good day/year when Xavier Lassalle is driving.

 

@DangerDirtyD That's a full load of bikes!!!

 

OK, photo not from 2015, but I posted it in 2015. Worth re-posting:

 

Can't wait to ride with my compadres in a few months... Just 48 hours from registration!

 

Love all the green/spring-time pics of home. With this El-nino, it should look like that through this years RSR.

 

First DH Race at Southridge/Fontana. Choked big time (bad crash on my race practice run; it was rainy, muddy and downright miserable) but I sucked it up and raced anyways....

That section was steep as and slippery!

 

It's like that all the time, don't tell 'em otherwise!

 

Here are some of mine:

The Mrs. and I


From the North Rim of Gooseberry Mesa


Sunset on Coal Canyon


More rare than a pic of the WhereWolfie.......a Pic of my on the geared bike......gasp!!!!!



Chillin' with my riding buddy....he is the only one that has joined me for all of the death marches.....



Sunset @ Beeks



Sunset from the Oaks

 

Just me and my shadow...

Great set of pics!!!

 

So rain =/= equal fun on downhill, eh! Still a great pic (smile or grimace, cannot tell...)

 

Some pretty big mountains out there in the background!

 

I've taken more than a few pictures this year but this is still my favorite that was taken while riding this year:

Going up Coach Whip at Oaks in March:

 

Wow!! That is really beautiful.....

 

Both!!

I smile, all the time, when I ride, but I was grimacing while holding on for dear life; the rain changed the line, I was trying to pick a good line that kept me upright.

 

Nice one, Mark! Yucca in bloom is pretty rare!

 

Just stay upright... just stay upright... just stay...

 

That is an awesome photo.

Early morning ride in Sylmar. Loved seeing the sunrise as I broke through the morning fog.

Okay @Luis these were the best... every photo or set of photos just gets better and better!

You are all my favorite!

 

Watching the sun rise from the top of Sugarloaf in Sedona:

 

Our ride that day took us to the very bottom of those mountains. The next morning we climbed up and over them to Moab... yeah... Kokopelli!

 

A couple of my favs from last year:

Ah ... Tahoe at 10,000 feet


My hubby and an Oaks regular


Happy 4th from Tahoe!


Some of the girls in Weir



And me outrunning a tugboat!

BTW I like this thread!

 

Head to yonder mountains for a good time!

 

LOVE the Tahoe pics... is that a regular vacation for you???

 

OK I'll play.
Mrs Jones after sunset

 

Yeah, that's a keeper! Great picture as well!
