Hartford Parks Bike Tour
The annual bicycle tour of the Hartford parks took place last Saturday. Trails are as short as 11 miles and as long as 45+, to accommodate different skill levels. Tough decision for me. Photograph or bike? Here are my pictures.
Excellent pictures Jack, I really take my hat off to the 45 milers, that's a tough gig! I could maybe walk the 11 miles. Lovely Autumn colours along the way in the second shot.
Terrific captures as always, Jack! I do admire the older guy, he does look intent! Kudos to all the riders -- and of course, to the photographer as well!! Enjoy your day!

Getting old, heh? Back when Lois was running, I tried a couple of 5K's. Hah! Now all I do is take pictures!
The guy all dressed out in the first shot looks very determined. And he's no spring chicken. More power to him!
Really like the closeup shot of the bike.

Great shots Jack!
I love the action shots! I still love to bike, slow short trips:)
Neat crops in the top and bottom photos, Jack. They make for more compelling shots.

I think you made the wise decision, Jack. I would have chosen to take photos too. :)
Hey, it feels like here! This is a quite common sight here on Sundays...
I would have been right beside you with my camera.
Looks like a Sunday in France. I'm all for taking photos.
No contest! And you got some great shots.

You made a great decision. Super series, Jack.
I think you chose well Jack! photography or bike - I'd take photography any day!

You picked up great facial expression on the guy in the top photo. Like 'em all.
I especially like the bottom shot. Very cool composition.
