I had a lot of good times on my trike in 2022, although none on a tour alas. However, one day I did a great loop ride in western Marin County, which is north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Lots of redwoods, a creek that has salmonids returning, ranches and old barns, pillow basalt, wildflowers, and this peaceful stretch of the bike path.

Wow, that's a great photo! My favourite bicycling photo from 2022 is one I took during a solo ride through the mountains. I bought that bike just before going on a trip from here, and the scenery was breathtaking, and the feeling of freedom and accomplishment was indescribable. I'll have to dig it up and post it here. Thanks for starting this thread; it's a great way to reflect on the year and remember all the amazing experiences we've had on our bikes.

Please do.

Hi Kathleen. Looks like you had a lovely day at Sam Taylor and environs. You know our stomping grounds tend to overlap, so I bet you won't be surprised to learn I have a photo very similar to yours, except that my bike is missing a wheel. ;-)

Funny how that is! 

I love that path in Sam Taylor Kathleen. We rode it a second time last year to camp in the hiker biker site under the soaring redwoods. Thanks for a sweet memory.

I have too many fond bike touring photos from last year to identify my favourite. A lot of them were wildlife encounters. 

That sort of sums up everything, Vince. Nice one.

It's hard to pick a favorite photo from my Fall 2022 tour, but something about this ugly, asymmetrical tree appeals to me. Maybe because it reminds me of the pleasant, empty roads I enjoyed in Nebraska. I think Nebraska is really an overlooked destination for bicycle touring, especially if you're willing and able to do some gravel occasionally.
