Back when the Nationals played at RFK Stadium, I used to occasionally ride my bike to day games. A few weeks ago, I went my first bicycle ride to Nationals Park one Thursday afternoon after work to buy some tickets for an upcoming game. I don’t like paying “conveinence” charges and did not want to [...]
With the warm weather returning it is finally time to get back on my bicycle again. I plan to go for a bike ride tomorrow after work. Since I also want to get some tickets to Saturday’s Nationals vs. Braves game without paying $20 in surcharges and “convienence fees” and I have decided to combine [...]
When I found out it was going to be in the 60s today, I rejoiced because I knew it would give me an opportunity to get on my bicycle for the first time since November.
My first ride of 2008 was on the W&OD Trail in Falls Church and Arlington. I went for a total of [...]
Early in 2007, I resolved to bicycle at least 300 miles. I choose that number because I believed I could get at least 30 rides of at least 10 miles in over the year, even if I moved out of Pentagon City. Sure enough, I did move out of the very bike friendly Pentagon City [...]
ARLINGTON, Va. – On Saturday morning, I rode my bicycle over to the Four Mile Run Trail groundbreaking ceremony for the missing link in the trail. Some details from the Arlington County press release:
The planned route will eliminate nearly a mile of on-street riding and difficult road crossings, offering a safer, more direct path along [...]
When I last posted about my cycling total, I had recorded 26½ miles for the season. I added another 23 before getting my cycling computer installed. Since then I have added 108.8 miles, giving me a total of 153.8 for the year. I’m more than half way to my goal of bicylcing 300 miles this [...]
Following Interstate 66 in Arlington, the I-66 Custis Trail is a challenging course between East Falls Church and Rosslyn. Since I-66 is mostly built below street level, the trail has varying gradients to accommodate the bridges over the highway, with the trail tending to rise into the overpass. This easily creates the best short workout [...]
Using a cool site called Gmaps Pedometer I was able to determine that Saturday’s ride was about 1½ miles longer than I estimated.
Of course, since I was given a cycling computer I can get an even more accurate total from now on.

As we enter our first spring like week of the year I am starting a series of profiles of area bike trails. I begin with my personal favorite, the Washington & Old Dominion Regional Park trail. In 2005, Christopher and I rode the length of the trail from west to east in one afternoon.
An early [...]
Ever since I saw that that today’s high was going to be 60° I planned on going on my second bike ride of 2007. I was quite pleased to see that my Weather Channel widget indicated that temperature had already been exceeded by 1 p.m.
Since there were SSW winds, I choose to head south down [...]
