So, for work I occasionally have to go to Washington DC.  This time, the timing and weather worked out to allow me to explore a local trail.  I had two choices.
The first is the Washington & Old Dominion Trail which runs through Northern Virginia, quite close to where I was staying for my work thing.  [...]

Impressive.  The Stavich Bike Trail is back.
With wife and little man off visiting relatives prior to Thanksgiving, I decided to give this unsung trail another shot.  I tried going down in May after being really sick and only got about five miles in when I ran into a construction crew repaving.  But, good news, because [...]

I had a conference in Harrisburg last week, so I took the opportunity to look on trail link for a good trail, and boy did I find one.
There is a single continuous crushed stone trail running roughly 45 miles from York PA down to Hunt Valley MD on the northern outskirts of Baltimore, the Heritage [...]

I think it goes back to when I was twelve or so, and we drove through Ontario.  On our way north on the QEW, I watched the hillside in the distance – the Niagara Escarpment.  It’s one of the neatest topographical features I’ve seen, stretching across southern Ontario, just pretty much one long steep hill [...]

We had perfect weather today, so I took a nice 31 mile ride on my favorite trail hands down, AVTA’s Allegheny River Trail.  I know, I know… I sung the praises of the Sandy Creek Trail in an earlier post, and that is the best, mile-for-mile trail I’ve ever been on, the Allegheny trail is [...]

First – The biking story:
It was a beautiful day today, and I got a chance to get home early.  Wife was in a good mood and she’s gotten the chance to get out and about quite a bit recently, so she told me to go biking before dinner, so I headed down to Goddard State [...]

Well, sorry for not posting on my new site – I had to work the weekend after my last post, then I went hiking with the family, which I’ll post about soon, then we visited family out-of-town.  I got really sick on the way back and really lost a week there.  I managed to get [...]

I always hate the “fun size” candy bars.  What is so fun about being done with your candy bar after one bite?
Well, Ernst Trail just west of Meadville may be fun-sized (only five miles), but it’s far more satisfying.  (See my earlier post about possible expansion!)  It’s probably the closest trail to our house, so [...]

We’re headed off to a wedding about ninety minutes south of here, so I doubt I’ll be able to get a ride in this weekend.  But, since I’m a week behind in posting (last week’s post was about the previous week…  got it?), I’ll post about last weekend’s ride.
Oil Creek State Park is just a [...]

Last week, I did my first real ride of the season on the Sandy Creek Trail.  Sandy Creek Trail is one of the finest trail experiences I can recommend.  I normally start in Belmar and go seven miles east and back.  That fourteen miles has:

A gorgeous restored bridge over the Allegheny River.  (Longest restricted bridge [...]
