I hate you. Not really, just jealous.
fab shots–thanks for sharing, now i have something to day dream about all day today. (see it always comes back to me…lol. just kidding, they are gorgeous shots)
If you don’t get mud in your lungs. You haven’t been riding hard enough. 
A good face plant with a 10’ slide will do it to you.
GREAT shots. If we are talking the same camera, I have the Canon Powershot G3.
Just looked at the camera, where do you turn on the neutral density filter?
And, how did you do the panoramic, can you do that in the camera, or did you put them together using photo shop or a program?
Yes, the Canon Powershot G3. The Neutral Density Filter can be turned on/off by clicking on Menu in the camera mode and scrolling down in the camera options - where is says ND filter. The panoramic shot is done by choosing the panorama function on the wheel before you take the photo - take one and you will see it helps you line the next one up in the LCD screen. When you load the photos using the Canon software there should be something called photostitch in the same folder in the start menu. Click that and it will prompt you to select the photos you want to stitch - the rest is straight forward. It’s a cool feature.
Dream away:)

Odd to see Urs mentioned. He dates a woman from my small NM town and is a really cool guy. And fast…
Random comment on panorama stuff. Google PhotoStitch, a freeware app, for a really simple and nice program. I find it better than Canon’s, I think.
Ja, I lived in Greifensee for 4 years (still work there) before moving to the big city. Great rides and runs there–although just outside Pfäffikon is a very aggressive eagle who drew blood from my scalp on a run one day with its talons. I didn’t hear a thing, just a smack on the head before it flew away again. So even if you’re running, take your bike helmet…
dude thanks for sharing!!!
VERY VERY NICE
Thanks for posting those! I used to live in FL and ride the Austrian alps. God I miss those days…
Yeah, definately lots of nice places to ride and run. What was up with that eagle? that’s crazy. Will have to keep an eye out for something circling overhead…
Gee, at the beginning I was thinking “where in the states does it look like Switzerland” ???
Hey Callidus, do you know another american living in Zurich and doing lots of bike riding (like 20’000 kms per year) : his name is Steve Herold, and he is a buddy of one of my colleagues.
I live across the country in Vevey, by the way.

LOL. I should have mentioned that in the title or something :).

Sorry, I don’t know Steve Herold.
isn’t Switzerland a state stuck between Colorado and Utah?
Yes, I have heard of this little county somewhere in the US. Never been there though.
So this MTB route that I do has plenty of good photo opps and I figured since it was going to be a nice day (morning at least) I would take the photo gear with me this time. This is what my ride looked like today.
Nice photos. Where did your tour go? I must be in the “Zürcher Oberland”.
First I didn’t saw the pictures and thought: This must be Switzerland.
There is more snow in central/eastern Switzerland than here. There is no snow around Bern/Biel.

Hi Felix,
You are right, it is in the Zürcher Oberland - more specifically, Greifensee, Pfäffiker See, Hinwil, and then up to the Bachtel and along the ridge. It was a very nice ride.
We hardly have any snow here at the moment, you have to go above 600m and still there is very little. Hopefully the Ski resorts will open early/mid December as planned :).

Morning Felix, no snow here either. My new house is on the Heitersberg ~560m, if I look out the kitchen window up the hill (800m) definitely nothing is white :-). But I can’t go riding anyway :-<

But very little/hardly is still more than no snow 
The whole last we they said/wrote it will snow but we never had rain/snow. But I don’t mind if it is not snowing. I just started again with training (4 week break after Hawaii) and would prefer a mild winter.
But I can’t go riding anyway :-<
Why?
Felix
Why?
Achilles tendon still playing up (since May). NMRI today, let’s hope we see what’s wrong.

PS: is it only me, or is the markup (quote, reply etc) in the postings somewhat more broken today then it normally is?
