Thanks for all the advice! I have a Topeak mini morph pump; I will have explore other mounting options so I can free up the second bottle holder. Or just go with the Camelbak. I find I have a...

I have to attempt dcv and Dirt's photo techniques later today. We have our 16th and final training ride with the scouts for our C&O trip next month. I have been bringing my camera, but realized all...

Hello --

Anyone else doing the Total 200 this year (July 6th)? I will be doing the 200 KM version -- life happened and I didn't have time to train for the longer 200 mile route.

Question for...

I saw OneEighth in Banneker Park when he was coming back east. I waved too late; just as we were passing one another. This was close to 7 p.m. or possibly after.

Thanks, Pete!

One question: I have heard it said that you should replace your cassette whenever you replace your chain. I have also heard that if you replace your chain before it gets too bad...

Today was my first flex day of my life so I rode out to Herndon for FCC III for a change of pace. Saw hozn, KS1G, FFX_Hinterlands, culimerc and a couple of others who I don't think are on the forum....

I can confirm that there is a paved path from Garrett Park to Lake Needwood and from there, easy roads to the ICC trail. The trail is kind of twisty-turny and not in great condition, so your speed...

This is very true. But it is doable, and my son and I did it often when he was riding stoker on the trailer cycle at about age 5-6. That was before the days of Kidical rides so it was just us.

Same here. I just got my bike back from the shop last night, all spiffy with shiny new components, and I didn't want to get it all messed up on the first day. Rule 9 failure. Or perfect day...

They spontaneously gave me a free month, but I cancelled at the end. If you have a heart rate monitor and cadence sensor I think it gives you some cool tools, but I do not so all that was lost on...

Saw Rod Smith locking up on K Street while I was running lunchtime errands. Nice to see you, Rod, and glad you got a nice day to work!

Isn't this what alley cats are for?

Hello All --

Almost eight months have passed since this thread and I wanted to give you an update. Thanks for the great advice, all of which I found useful. Here is where we are now:

We have...

Nice to see you, too! Forgot one of the questions I had for the pros at Freshbikes; I will start (or resurrect) another thread to get the collective wisdom of the Forum folks.

I was reading the June 2013 issue of Washington Lawyer, the publication of the DC Bar Association on the metro this morning (yes, I rode the METRO -- I saw the forecast and my bike is not...

I hope you never have to move to the 'burbs. I can't wait to see how you work the whole family fleet in there, especially when the kids are on adult bikes.

Liz

Yes, probably so. There are actually quite a few westbound commuters, and sometimes I see someone and wonder, "Is that someone I know? Or is he one of the "Bobs" who looks familiar because I see...

Yep, that was me, nice to see you!

This arrived in my inbox yesterday. The date is July 6th.

Help us help you!
What better way to celebrate your achievement than to have a friend or family member there to root you on. We're...

I think I saw consularrider on the Brandymore Castle hill this afternoon -- coming east while I was going west. I didn't realize it was him until I heard his voice when he called his pass to a...

Nice to ride in with you, dcv. And nice pic! You have implemented the Dirt method of photography well.

And Mr. Yellow Jersey, sorry I didn't get your name, nice riding part of the way with you,...

I think bollards are considered unworkable on the W&OD because there are legitimate reasons motor vehicles need access (park authority trucks picking up trash or doing maintenance, utility trucks...

There will always be those who can't let down their hair and have fun in life. There will always be those given to hyperbole and histrionics. With thirty years as a Wall Street Journal print...

The Vienna Patch is reporting that a car hit a cyclist while driving on the trail. The driver was arrested. Apparently alcohol was involved.

Nice seeing so many people yesterday -- I didn't get too see all of you because I was manning the wristband booth the entire time I was there.

WABA and the other organizations made $27,000! ...
