Post your ride pics

Saw some WABA forum folks at the Frederick Watershed trailhead this morning. Hope y’all had fun too!

Here’s one of my “challenge” rocks (on Knuclebuster) that I like to play on if there’s time.

Hey! I went up that rock yesterday too! But from the other direction (coming towards blue). First time I’d actually made it (or really even had the courage to do more than ride up to it and slam on the brakes)

Mad props! I was trying to convince Kathy to do it the opposite direction of you where it’s a steeper drop, but she couldn’t calm the demons that said she’d flip.

I was actually coming from the same direction as you, but on the corner to the right (yours was on the left), which involves riding off the path and going through the trees

I just don’t understand what the point of going over the rock is if those silly people weren’t blocking the trail around it, just saying ring your bell … :p

I thought I should get another pleasant Taunus ride in before I head for the DC sauna. Doesn’t it look cool and refreshing under those trees? :p

The third video in my series on Seattle’s neighborhood greenways, the Wedgwood Greenway is a shorter but direct connection between parts of northeast Seattle with the popular Burke-Gilman Trail.

There isn’t a whole lot more to say about the Wedgwood Greenway other than it’s a pretty straightforward route on calm neighborhood streets, really nice for cyclists of all abilities.

I plan to do 2 more videos in the series before taking a break to do some different projects, but I feel like I’m on a roll here for Seattle-area videos!

Back with the fourth video in my series on Seattle’s neighborhood greenways featuring the Ballard 58th Greenway.

This greenway is pretty straightforward and provides a really nice east-west connection through the Ballard neighborhood in northwest Seattle. It ends at the popular Burke-Gilman Trail and intersects the Ballard 17th Greenway.

Again, I want to stress the awesomeness of having streetside crossing signal buttons as they are very convenient when trying to cross busier intersections. They eliminate the problems of detectors ignoring cyclists, cyclists needing to go onto the sidewalk, and cyclists then losing their place in traffic and having to merge with cars.

In the video, there’s something neat if you pause around 1:17. You might recognize a certain red house for a familiar comic/cartoon 😎

Checked out the ride to Audi Field (DC United) the other day and was happy to see PBLs, even if said PBLs aren’t really on my route:

Sideways again. They’re not like that, really.

Hope you had a happy Fourth!

I did a three-day mini bike tour out of Berlin into Brandenburg state last week. It is probably worth a forum post — I was blown away by the quality and extent of cycling infrastructure in this mostly rural area. One hardly has to plan at all. There’s pretty much a designated cycle route, and often a separate path, from any given village to any other. Anyway, a few pictures:

Stopped by a Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens yesterday… and there were like bugs everywhere. Like, ewwww, seriously, so gross!

Convinced my B.I.L. and my buddy – both big fishermen but not mountain bikers – to try fishing at my fav local playground: the Frederick Watershed. I’m new to fly fishing and still trying to figure out how to cast properly and not catch so many trees and bushes behind me

Between a Voile strap, a Velcro strap and a TwoFish flashlight holder, the rod case was was rock solid on my Ritchey Commando. I used a Revelate Mountain Feedbag on the other side of the stem to hold the reel, flies, and a few other tools.

None of us have fished up there before so we didn’t know what to expect. We ended up catching (and releasing) ~25 fish between the three of us. Most of them were bluegills.
