grats jake. urs is the best one :cool:

3/4 of the images shown in that link are beyond atrocious. I could take better than several of those with a P&S and heavily cropped. Good for Fricks though.

Nice. It's time to do a full on cleaning on my bike as well.

Just go back from a 27 mile ride though, not very long but it was quite windy and I was really pushing it the whole way.

18.2 mph average (including warmup/cooldown) and that's with a Cat 5 into 10mph winds. :D

Once you get into steep and sustained climbs they will rank hills from Cat 5 - Cat 1 and the HC (Hors catégorie). Cat 5 being the "easiest" and HC being the hardest category.

There isn't really a tell tale way to categorize a hill but it generally needs to be about 500 meters of steady climbing at 3% grade or higher. This one was 1.25 miles long averaging about a 3% grade.

Hey Jake (west)!

Moon pictures look great, but you need to work on the edges of the moons. I can see where the black ends around the perimeters. And on the left side moons, fade the black edge a tad bit where the eclipse part is, is a pretty stark transition.

Thanks, I'll check it out and fix it when I get home.
