This is another pic from the "Batman Ride" on friday lead by Steph.

I did not take the pic, but I think is awesome ((love how colorful it is)), and figured it should be added somewhere!

nanananannanananan BAT-MAN!!

What is that little Batman toy? I think I need one.

Well, that is my buddy-BATMAN!!!!!

He's not for sale!

Dave, "woman reclining" is awesome

wow.

Here's some from the tree pittsburgh ride.

Check out the deer checking us out in the first shot. Also, we saw a fox, like 15 feet away:

hippy shot

The tree ride looks like it was fun! Wish I could have gone, but had to take a day-off to rest & regroup

erok can you send me some of the tree ride ones? caitlin@treepittsburgh.org

thanks

( i had a tree related meeting during the ride...bummer)

Caitlin, the best way to snag the photos would be to download them from our flickr set, there's a bunch more on there as well.

feel free to use any of them for good, not evil

Where is that monster tree that erok is hugging?

I wish I was on that ride.

In case anyone at BikePGH was not already aware, the Trib is doing a story about the proliferation of women's rides at Bike Fest (and possibly also women's cycling in general, I'm not sure). They sent a photographer to the women's mountain bike ride on Wednesday. The reporter, Mandy, said she thought the story would run in Saturday's paper.

(slightly off topic but there you have it - will also ask Elizabeth to send photos of the Wed. ride)

sorry for the blurriness of some of these pics. my iPhone doesn't take the best pictures unless it's really bright outside, and the front facing camera has even worse quality.

flock ride on friday, august 19.

also from the flock ride

outside of the coffee shop, gathering for the 12 bridges ride.

on 40th street before getting on the bridge

And with this pic I summarize my whole experience in BikeFest 2011

Agreed!

I had the hardest time finding this thread.

There must be a mistake, most of the people at that party don't look like bike geeks. I am more comfortable among a much dorkier crowd.

@ edmunds I am more comfortable among a much dorkier crowd.

There were geeks present, for sure. And not just me, either.

It seems as thought pic that I was in somehow did not make it to the postings.

So maybe there is some anti-dork discrimination going on. Or maybe I'm just ugly.

@robjdlc - Nice shots - so fun!

@Mick - you are here and the next shot
