Thanks. I enjoy doing the journal.
Been around DC since '79, so I've had some time to get to know the roads, and sometimes saw them being built.
I like to explore different routes, and try not to repeat too much in one season. I want to see something new every time I go out. Part of my choice of route this weekend was to add the new parts around Wheaton Park. That, and I'm thinking about a possible new route for a PPTC ride using part of that loop.
Right now the only bike I have is my TREK 750 hybrid, and I take it on some pretty good distances. This time of season my usual ride target is between 45 and 65 miles. Will be riding the NY Century next month, and will probably do the 75 mile route like I did last year.
