Sunday I picked up where I left off from Friday’s ride, from Peaks of Otter down south past Roanoke Mountain. These two pics are from a spot where the parkway runs right along the top of the “ridge” of the Blue Ridge. The first pic is looking West into the Shenandoah Valley. The second pic is looking East to the piedmont area between Lynchburg and Roanoke:

On my ride home on Thursday, I was waiting at the light at 15th and Independence and I heard some chirping above me.

One of the many things you wouldn’t be able to see when driving.

Stuff like that terrifies me. Not the birdie, but the infrastructure decay that lets a heavy steel column over an intersection get a hole rusted in it.

Seems that wheels float but frames sink.

Took a look the other night. The hole was drilled for access and the sparrows appear to have merely seized the opportunity to homestead.

Knowing that access panels are prone to loss, one would hope that the designers, manufacturers and customers of such products would have figured out a way to make it easy to keep them closed. On an upcoming ride, take the opportunity to marvel at the number of access panels that are askew or missing on light poles and the like along your route.

I had a particularly enjoyable commute yesterday. I decided to ride the fixed gear to work for the first time and as luck would have it, ran into the americancyclo commuter convoy being led out by dcv, so I felt more comfortable riding side-by-side with another fixed gear. Towards the end of coffee club, Dread shows up having done most of *his* first(?) fixed gear commute. And then on the way home I saw Dirt at the Columbia Pike/W&OD intersection, which I considered another good omen.

Completed the GAP/C&O yesterday – done as a fundraiser for my company’s Educational Foundation. The money raised (don’t have the final #s yet, but it’s somewhere between 50 and 60k) will go back to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) scholarships and grants.

This was the second year of doing it. Mostly good (and remarkably cool!) weather, great company, and just a great ride. Already looking forward to 2015.
