You know people talk about going green and lowering their carbon footprint. ...is this what they mean? Hehe





After work on a light rainy day I decided to go for a ride. Ended the day at 65 miles.

This culvert was part of a washout repair project that was 10 years in the making, and at over a million bucks was one of the most expensive ever done.








That culvert was 16 ft across, maybe even closer to 18.



And one more random picture

 

Awesome view, awesome bike! Looks like a great ride.

No guardrail on that culvert??

 

Hmmmm never thought about that, it has a concrete barrier on the downhill side but nothing on the other side. YIKES!

 

Fun!!!! Seems like a nice cool day



We are still in the 100s and 90s down here

 

Did you ride through it tooting your horn?

 

All I could think of in that first picture was "he parked right next to it, probably got off the bike on that side, and still didn't fall off the edge!?!?" I'd be terrified. I'm also clumsy, and yes, I've fallen on my butt getting off a bike. Doesn't happen often, but yeah, especially in those huge clunky off-road boots.

 

I don't get off my bike on the low side, I learned that if I'm going to tip a bike over it wont be on myself. LOL

As far as riding through it that would be cool except the output side is 60ft from the bottom!!!

 

Now that's my kind of going green.
