Then getting back on the bike...!

Well, the progress is notorious and so on Sunday 03/19/2023 I went to my town where I was born.
It is located about 35 km from my city.
There are dirt roads to reach it, but the drought (it doesn't rain) for about 7 to 8 months and therefore the dirt roads are pure dust, which makes it really impossible to ride a bicycle, the bicycle advances using the appropriate gears , but the flying volvo becomes highly uncomfortable to breathe, so I decided to go by road. that is to say a national route. There is more risk due to the traffic of cars and trucks, but, as it was done in 1996, a good mirror to check and pay attention to the sounds of the tires turning of the vehicles, one can calmly spot them from more than 100 meters away (I'm talking about those who come from behind), so I get off the road, go for a stretch along the shoulder and then return to the road.
It has been a beautiful trip on Sunday morning, I toured the town.
Here I leave some votes from the tour of the route.
There is a service station in the middle of the route totally abandoned, so I took some photos of it.
This service station reminds me of some US horror or mystery movies, where things happened to visitors, haha...it would be a good setting for Steven Spielberg Director perhaps!
The abandoned service station transmits many things, it's a strange feeling, being there and thinking that all that once had life.










here, in the middle of nowhere, the abandoned service station










as if they had withdrawn unexpectedly and there it was all...


A rusty roof and a rusty truck tank, everything has remained there over time...time to go!



but my eyes upon retiring have also discovered a beautiful runway for model airplanes!!, it would be good to do some flights here!!...it would be good to do it and give a touch of life with some Cox!!


Done, I go back home, but before a record that I was there and nothing happened to me! ha ha


end of tour:

Very good photo, speaking photography art in mind. I remembered William Eggleston.

Mauricio, buenos días esta hermosa mañana. Maurico, good day this beautiful morning. (Well, buenos días is used for "good morning", but it means good days, sin embargo, no importa. )

Esas fotos son muy bueno, a similares de oeste Texas y este de Nuevo México, especialmente las fotos de las gasolineras que están abandonado. Tenemos las mismas en nuestra tierra.

Those photos are very good, similar to West Texas and this New Mexico, especially the photos of gas stations that are abandoned. We have the same ones in our land.

Your getting some good exercise biking through the country side , remines me of South Carolina , flat and dry . Thats a long time w/o rain i bet the dirt roads were dusty ! Thanks for taking us along

Beautiful photos and a little peek at the culture in your homeland Mauricio ….A good distance traveled as well, Congratulations!!
Really nice to have a “destination “ to ride to…. Mine is all off road but I enjoy the Creation as I go…. Hoping for some rain this spring so the cactus will bloom well…. They are quite brilliant when they do…. Thanks for sharing tu viaje

Hi MauricimoB,
Thanks for the rides you share.
Snow is melting and rain will wash the winter salt away here.
Spring is almost springing here.
Is this your Fall ?
Do you ever get snow?
That old, flat lands, have been paved over decades ago here.
Got Lake Ontario to fly from.
Paved industrial places are fun to fly from, if the security guards like beer !
Any calm wind,
Should have a Cox engine warming up...
Take care,
Have fun,
Dave

Thanks guys for the comments.
It is very nice to be able to share here with you.
Dave, I answer your questions:
We are entering autumn here, a beautiful season, the weather generally in that season of the year is very good.
Snow, sometimes unexpectedly as something very rare in the area where I live, occurred in 1971 and in 2007... but in other areas of my country like Bariloche, snow does fall there.
Flying in abandoned places is nice, I think that in the station that I visit, there is no control or security personnel, there are only the facilities, if I go flying, of course, I will make sure that I am doing things correctly so as not to be surprised!
Some photos from my club in 2007, this is not normal, the snow here in my sona is not normal, but it happened!
