Thanks! I’ve been lurking a lot. Everyone is so enthusiastic about winter riding…it’s contagious!
Indeed. If it weren’t for this forum, I wouldn’t be trying to figure out the safest way to get a ride in tomorrow. I’d just take Metro to work and be mildly grumpy about it.
This morning’s ride in on the trails was bumpy and slow. I rode Washington and Old Dominion from Falls Church. 4MR in Falls Church, and Custis Trail to Ballston. Maxim speed was a jittery 6 mph over ruts of death and sloppy snow. Photos show W & OD in Falls Church.
I started out for a nice little lunch ride and before I could get out of the garage, I felt a bit of rubbing on my rear tire. As I slowed to check it out, BAM! I thought I blew out a tire, but upon getting back, it was the rim that had blown out. That’s what you get for buying a 10 yr old bike off craigslist. Anyone have any spare 9 speed 26″ rear wheels they’d want to part with, or am I making a last minute trip to Phoenix Bikes tonight (hopefully not by bus).
