Bike Riding
We've gone on a couple of bike rides in the last week or so, and both of them were significant. Yesterday we joined some friends to ride the Zoo Review. This lovely 20-mile ride makes use of both Rock Creek Park and the Capitol Crescent Trail. Very highly recommended.
The previous weekend Vicki and I managed a fair bit of the C&O Canal trail in our area, starting at Great Falls and riding north to a point between Broad Run Trunk Aqueduct and White's Ferry. Our total distance was pretty close to 41 miles.
This weekend:
Last weekend:
Because we did these without any proper preparation, i.e. taking shorter rides in the preceding weeks, we've been pretty sore. However, we're also proud to have made it back to the starting point each time, and happy to have seen some new and beautiful territory.
