For this week’s Ride of the Week, we had to go with this creative shot by dan1racing on Flickr. You can easily imagine the driver downing an early morning cup of coffee in anticipation of the day’s glorious ride ahead of them. Wonder where they’re off to?

For all of October we’re running our Ride of the Week photo contest. You send us your best shots your “ride” — be that your bike all covered in mud, a shot from your morning commute or your favorite section of singletrack — we’ll feature a weekly photo here on the blog, and at the end of the month we’ll pick a grand prize winner who will score a brand new Osprey hydration pack: the Viper or the Verve depending on your choice! Just upload your photo to our Flickr pool and tag it with “Ride of the Week,” or email us your photo to blog[at]ospreypacks[dot]com.

‎”You have studded snow tires for your bike? Wow, you are kind of outdoorsy…” – Becky’s boss

Since all the quotes submitted were so good, we’ll feature some of them every now and again on the blog… so be sure to check back for more.
