A Huge Thanks to the Good Samaritans of Biking

I took a ride on Memorial Day in the 100deg heat and got about 13 miles from my house when my tire went flat. I had a spare tube, but stupidly neglected to bring a pump. Fortunately, another passing...

As you age you start losing your hearing at the extremes of the frequency spectrum. It's not surprising that older women don't acknowledge your bell because they probably don't actually hear you. I...

I tried riding the Cross County Trail and I wouldn't recommend it unless you're on a MTB. It's incredibly hard to follow (especially around Lorton) and it goes over just about every type of surface...
