There are four of us who bike together. Lately, we've been doing 30 mile bike rides. We've done most of the major bike trails around D.C.: Capital Crescent Trail, W&OD, C&O Canal, Custis Trail, Mt. Vernon Trail, Rock Creek Trail, and a few lesser known ones such as the Metrobranch trail, Sligo Creek Trail, the Northwest Fork Trail. We've been up to the Shady Grove metro stop, out to Ashburn and Reston, northwest on the C&O canal trail almost to Leesburg, down to Mt. Vernon. It's been a great month of October to be outside a lot and enjoying the beautiful fall colors! We still have the goal of completing 100 miles in two days and hope to complete that goal in November.
I've added a few things to my bike (actually, Paul's bike): a bike rack in the back with a pannier and fenders. I carry a nice tool set and extra tube just in case. I trust that between the four of us, we could figure how to change a tire. . .
