Reader Mark Carandang sent in this self portrait with his “ever dependable” Lynskey Sportive Disc at Fujinomiya, west of Mt. Fuji. “This was taken during my spring Nagoya to Tokyo solo tour. There was never a shortage of climbs along the route, and a compact crankset and 11-32 cassette combination kept my knees fresh throughout!”

We always love seeing photos from where you are riding and are happy to share them with our readers around the world here on the Pic Of The Day. Send in your pics with a brief description here.
