It really is something isn’t it? There’s nothing like this back home, so I feel blessed for the forward-thinking folks who made this such a great place to live and ride, long before I showed up. I’ve decided to say thanks by trying to make it better… 😎

I thought it would be interesting to look at my heatmap for the same time period. I started regularly biking around June.

I’ve spent a lot of time Hains Point and a moderate amount of time going to Ben and Jerry’s in Old Town.

Couldn’t have put it better myself!

Just completed my first year of riding, not only in this area, but in life in general.

Fantastic all around! All of these are worth celebrating! We should be sure to gather at the 3rd Thursday HH and raise a pint.

For me, May 1st I celebrated my first year with my current bike, which took me on my first centuries (both metric and ‘merican); first rides to Purcellville and Harpers Ferry; 2,300 miles during National Bike Challenge; and my first attempt at Freezing Saddles. When I took her in for annual spring maintenance, it was discovered that I completely wore-out my drive train and had to replace my cassette, chain rings, and chain. Its been a good year for riding to be sure, but most importantly, I met all of you guys! 😮
