• Spring

    What does spring in Maryland bring? A 5 ft. black snake on our wood pile.

  • What I did this weekend

    , ,

    Saturday: Rode Schaeffer Farm (again). This time I got about an hour and ten minutes of ride time and just under ten miles. I found an old Willys-Overland Wagon abandoned just off the trail.

    Today we went to the National Arboretum in DC to see the Azalea Collection.

    In addition to Azaleas, they also had an interesting lifted golf cart:

    Then we went back to Schaeffer Farm for a short ride. This time with another Yakima LockJaw that I got used off of Craig’s List. So, with the hitch-mount Kingpin rack and the roof-mounted LockJaw mounts I can carry six bikes. However, I don’t see any more than four people riding in the Subaru.

  • Back to Schaeffer Farm

    I went back today after work. I was able to get in about four miles before it started raining. This time I tried the ‘white’ loop. Not bad; more technical than the other loops, and more elevation changes.
