The National Bike Challenge is on!

Yes although it didn’t appear particularly well fitted or comfortable. The rider was indeed pedaling the trike but it was not moving very fast. Riding slow may have had the side benefit of protecting the rider’s hearing as the steel “tires” were noisy on the asphalt (the rider reported the noise was worse on cobblestones).

Pete you are out of control!

I had a week end of kids soccer, groceries, gardening, and you apparently rode your bike to Ocean City and back! You rock. I at least got a few times around the block after I fixed my flat, cleaned my chain and adjusted my rear deraileur, every little bit counts right?

Is anyone else having trouble entering their data today? Any time I try to upload my miles for today it shows up on Saturday instead.

I had no problems logging mine in.

That same thing happened to me yesterday. But today worked OK

Yeah it was happening to me yesterday. Glad I wasn’t the only one. I thought I was logging miles on the wrong day again! It seems to be working ok today though.

Looks like the Bike Arlington teams had a great weekend!!! Especially the B Team. We temporarily stepped past the C Team.

Rock on Bike Arlingtoners!

BikeDC is this weekend, so every single person on every Bike Arlington team had better get at least 25 miles this weekend.

A few of us will get more. Sorry that I can’t do Bike DC this weekend.

We got a little riding in on the Oxford-Belleview Ferry this weekend.

I’ll believe it when I see a Danger Boat Panda.

We are assuming you shut the GPS logger off during this phase!

We did. Much to my regret, as I forgot to turn mine on while I rode a loop on the ferry.*

*I would have *loved* to do a Bellvue Ferry Crit on the way over. Spirograph FTW!

I’m relatively sure that the lovely people who run the Ferry would not have liked that sort of thing. They likely would have reacted similarly to the way the Whites Ferry folks did to us holding trackstanding contests while crossing the Potomac.

The folks who run Oxford-Belleview Ferry are super nice, super awesome and quite stylish. I’m content that they allow us to ride on and off and don’t force us to walk.

That said, I’m annoyed that the ferry ride always kills my average speed for that loop… doubly so since we did the lap twice. I’m happy that they let us use our round trip tickets to go the same direction twice.
