Hi Team!
My name is Tom Wyland aka FFX_Hinterlands. I live in Oak Hill as well, which is unincorporated Fairfax County just outside Herndon and Reston. I work less than two miles from home and bike every day to work. I also enjoy working in advocacy to help make bicycling for transportation more of a normal thing in the area. I’m a Fairfax County DOT Bicycle/Pedestrian Ambassador and a friend of FABB.
Riding:
– I do some “ride for fun” routes on the weekends (typically 10-15 miles, pace is 12-13mph average in Strava). I don’t have a road bike nor bicycle shorts.
– I ride every day to work and will try to ride every day of the contest again this year. I won the “lantern rouge” prize last year for riding every day of the contest and having the lowest miles.
– Most of my rides seem to be related to picking up groceries…
– I’m up for riding to breweries to sample beer and kombucha. I’d also like to do some gravel/double track riding if anyone is up for that.
Bikes:
– Dahon folding bike (studded tires this year) for commutes/errands
– Handsome Devil steel touring/cross bike set up like a Rivendell with fenders, lights, racks, etc.

There’s a great mostly gravel ride from Leesburg to Vanish Brewery…great beers!
Definitely up for that!
