I should have guessed that people here would focus on the lady and not the fact that you would have an amazing view of our beautiful planet. Oh well.

I thought it was a composite. To get that curvature you'd need to be in orbit...

Well yes of course it is an artistic photo - it was just a theoretical question!

You're joking, right? It's obviously a composite photo.

Oh, and no I wouldn't swap. View looks nice but track looks boring.

Make a great climb though, and even better if she was in front...

+1, other than the climb, where's the challenge?

Sometimes being on a bike doesn't always have to be about the challenge. Remember fun when you were a kid? Were you always challenging yourself when 8 years old, or were you just mucking about having fun? ๐Ÿ˜€

At 8 my priorities where different (girls/beer/riding interesting stuff was not an option), the challenge is now the part of the fun for me, if I wanted boring (like the picture), I'd go and buy a road bike.

is this the difference between downhill and DH, i mean its not flat or uphill so its downhill, but its not a downhill (DH) that i would seek out. Leave the fireroad, sharp left and see what happens.

Oh yeah [u]and[/u] its not real.

Looks a bit like a jehovah's witness brochure but the friendly tigers have been replaced with people on bikes.
Needs a rainbow too ๐Ÿ™‚
