Where did you ride today ???

Circuitous route to the Ice House for breakfast (lots of bikes there), then a slightly different circuitous route home. Watching the Toronto Indy now.
 
Fresh page - :D - lovely day out. Watched the tennis then over to Milton to buy an HD box - looped up the back roads to the Forks.
Lots of bikes here as well - Late lunch/early supper - spicy samosas whew - then who knows were the wind blows. Nice the heat is down.
 
Good to know. I have only ever owned SLR's and I find I just end up using my phone because it is too much to carry. I am not satisfied with my pics off my phone but I have been too proud to downgrade to anything less than the latest Cannon SLR. Your photo's are great though.

I feel the same way about my Nikons but I just can't sell them I love my F2.8 zooms. When I am on my bike nothing beats my 18-200.
 
So, your Gx1 is not a single lens reflex? If it is, how did they manage to make it so small???

Google "mirrorless camera" that will explain how they work. I looked at going mirrorless but the price of quality lenses is the same as sticking with a slr so I decided keep my Nikon. I did not want to go with a smaller sensor.
 
16.1 megapixels in the Gx1 - not much to differentiate these days.
Adapters fit the SLR lenses to the four thirds.
 
After I conducted a funeral, I rode to the home of the family for a beer with the them. Then headed into Stratford to pick up a few things. Oh yeah, a quick trip to the Beer Store, fridge was getting kind of low.

I just imagined doing a wheelie up the church aisle (bible/cross in saddlebags), drifting around the casket and screeching to a halt behind the altar. "Dear friends in Christ, we are gathered here today..."

Up 27 for me, west towards Hockley for lunch, then some gravel road zig-zaging towards Shelburne and back again. I encountered a three-car STEAM TRAIN just outside of Beeton (South Simcoe Railway, I think). Very cool.

The skyscape was awesome. All sorts of different clouds.
 
Just to re-claim the thread, lol.

Rode from Durham along Kingston road to south end of Scarborough. Rode up to Malvern and along Twyn Rivers back into Durham and along Rossland home. Kinda boring ride except along Twyn River, but at least got out on the bike. Also, Mom cooked for the visit so bonus.

Where did you ride today?
 
Caught up on GTAM, bike is out of commission while I wait for a new set of front pads. Old one's are worn down to the metal, oooops
 
Rode out to K-W, went down River Rd w, to Cambridge, looped back up through Cambridge back to Kitchener, then back to Toronto. Good run!
 
I don't agree with megapixels only being used to compare cameras. There are so many more variables.

That's at the consumer level not at 4:3 and SLR where optics and electronics rule. Your link is very old as well in digital terms. The4:3 you are talking lens in the same price range as SLR. There is far more to the sensors than purely pixel count - the point was the 4:3 have the big and high quality sensors and lens - not just the SLRs.
But I can drop it in my shirt pocket - you can't do that with an SLR. It's just a different approach and allows a more compact body - that's a good thing for the kind of photography I like to do from a motorcycle.....yet I can still get very high quality and have the lens choice. Works for me.....and many others as it is a growing form factor.
 
Went from Caledonia to work in Mississauga for the first time on bike today.
 
I just imagined doing a wheelie up the church aisle (bible/cross in saddlebags), drifting around the casket and screeching to a halt behind the altar. "Dear friends in Christ, we are gathered here today..."

Not quite, but I have ridden my motorcycle in collar and robes :D Was parked at a bar in Long Beach after a charity ride, had a guy walk up to me, look at me, shake his head and go this is so wrong, so F**king wrong on so many levels - then he laughed.

Yesterday I walked to church, after service an 80 something year old lady told me she was upset my bike wasn't there. She liked it. Guess I gotta ride every Sunday to keep them happy. :)

On the subject, yesterday I rode to Tiger Direct in London (via backroads). What horrible selection and service, sad store.
 
Left Friday night about 9:30pm.
Did a golf weekend at the bosses cottage in Wasaga.
The temp really dropped once I got out of town.
For the first time in 10 days I was actually cool.
It's a nice ride...Elora, Fergus, Shelburne, Singhampton, Wasaga.
Golfed Monterra after the rain stopped and it was a perfect day.
Left Sunday morning 8am and took the same way home in the daylight.
Really enjoyed the ride home.
 
The back roads behind the busier sections of Pickering, Ajax, and Oshawa are really nice for escaping the traffic. Coronation Road has a tempting stretch ;) Concession Road 5 has a nice 90 degree turn, and then I hop up onto the 7 again to see where it takes me. There are lots of little side roads to explore, but some turn into gravel. I don't bother with heavy traffic. The smaller roads are more interesting!

Although I did see the same popo patrolling. We met up in opposite directions each time :p. And then there was the guy in his huge pickup that thought he had to pull allllllll they way over into oncoming traffic to avoid two bicyclists. Twat.
 
Wife and I went for a ride into Pickering marina. Was nice and sunny. Back home in the light rain. Over 45 minutes to get back (her first ride in the rain), and we're soaked. Need to dry off and warm up a little.
 
i just got home from a durham mini tour... thickson, bayly, liverpool, hwy 2, salem...

was raining but was nice !

saw a few riders
 
The day this thread started I was done at Deals Gap where my GF and I did the Dragon (and she earned her Dragons with 8 weeks of riding experience!)

We took out time coming back and got home this eve.
