My Ride North - 5 days in a row

Today I rode to the 24-Hour Fitness in North Austin near 183 and Breaker Road. I rode up Shoale Creek Road for the first time on my bike. It was a nice change of pace to ride on flat roads through Austin for a change. I rode about 14 miles from where I work to the gym in about an hour.

My body and mind are getting use to the conditioning that I am going to ride my bike everyday. I am also gettong to a mental state that allows me to enjoy riding my bike without a thought to measuring how fast am I going and trying to race with my self or others. Riding my bike as a commuter is really enjoyable and I am just starting to settle into a rhythm when I ride. I am not in a hurry to get to my destination as the ride experience is the whole point of being out on a bike in the first place.

Looking for a compact digital camera. This is the spot for taking notes. I want a small camera with a decent lens that takes raw images. It must also have manual F-stop and aperture settings.  I take a lot of pictures from my bike like this one .  My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 takes good images, but I want better. I have an ancient Canon EOS 10D with a Cannon EF 20mm 1:28 lens.  I love taking still life and landscape photos with this camera and super sharp lens.  The dang thing is so heavy that I do not want to ride with it unless I am really on a camera taking picture ride. The The Fujifilm FinePix F900EXR This is another possibility. Generally I have always purchased Canon cameras, but I may have to change.
