May 1st 2010

Here is a picture of me and Alice just before the start of last year's MS Bike ride. We did the 60 mile route and were still smiling afterwards.


On June 12 Alice and I will ride 100 miles as an incentive to our friends to contribute funds to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Click here to support us.


Today's Distance: 25 miles
Start: 09:00 Mormon Temple, Kensington, Maryland
End: 12:30 2000 GW Parkway Alexandria, Virginia
Company: 2 boy scouts, 1 dad, 1 scoutmaster
Comments: Rock Creek Parkway is an great weekend ride. The park service closes down upper Beach Drive to car traffic. I do not like riding on the multi-use trail, because it is a multi-pothole trail. The road is easier on the nerves. For the boy scouts, this was their second 25 mile ride required for the cycling merit badge. I joined them, becuase I am a youth leader at church and the rules are 2+ adults must be at each activity. I also joined, because I need to keep training for the 100 mile bike ride I am doing with Alice on June 12.


My normal commute does not expose me to as much sun as we got today...
