Start off the New Year right with a great ridge-top rocky rooty ride to Kennedy Peak in the Shenandoah Mountains. Join new Prez Scott Scudamore as he leads a...
Dear fellow bikers I am changing jobs next week and would like information on a bike route from W&OD Trail at Fairfax County Parkway to Tyson's 1 Mall - Near...
If the stuff below comes through properly, it will show my yearly high lights. Total Distance Total Time Average Speed 3076.2 mi 211 h 14 min 14.5 mph _____ ...
3076.2 according to my logs on Bikeprolog.com (I'm listed as Grendel there). Beat my goal by 676.2. Like James, most of my miles came from commuting. 0 for...
... Speaking up for the mere mortals... I logged 885 miles, most of it on roads or bike paths (about 1/4 of that comes from commuting, which I don't do very...
I'll see your 5 and raise you 24.77. I took advantage of today's weather and sampled the unpublished "Perfect Hybrid Ride". I finally found a hill I could...
Michael, How'd you like the Hybrid Ride? Are we ready for a final run to critique the cue sheet and get it out for a Bike Wash ride???? Or have you got it...
This fall Trips for Kids may be holding its first fundraising ride (joining the other 1000 events) in conjunction with our annual picnic. It will be a metric...
The Hybrid Ride is an interesting ride. It lulls you in to a sense that this is an easy ride for the first half while it stays down on the Anacostia Branch ...

Please help the Virginia Bicycling Federation visit state delegates and senators in Richmond in two weeks. Monday, January 19 is a federal holiday, but the...
Wow 3,000 mile! I don't have an odometer but now y'all got me thinking about one. Since I have 2 bikes I need a quick release and 2 sets of wires. So what...
This ride is from one of our Bike Wash members, Joe Robbins. Mark it on your calendar and let him know you'll be joining the group! Joe, count me in. Lauren ...
... I don't know of any bike computers that are -not- quick release. After years of trying different brands and models, I'm now settled on the Cateye Mity3 as...
My 2cents on bike computers: My Cateye Enduro has been very reliable and doesn't get discouraged by a little water when it rains. One advantage in your...
I have seen 2 Enduros drop off the bars while riding (actually I SAW only 1- we found it in the grass; the other fell off and wasn't seen again). My vote is...
... I've got a Cateye Enduro 2 on each of my mountain bikes (trail and urban) and they've both survived crashes. I haven't endo'd since installing them,...
I've got an enduro 2 on my mtb with an extra mount on my cross bike. The mounting bracket has a clip unlike any other computer I've used (avocet, vetta,...
Any recommendations on those rear wheel kits? I have never really seen one with enough wire, especially one that didn't look really messy. Thanks. DT...
On my commuter I use a Planet Bike 9.0. It's not a rear-wheel model. What it does have is a thermometer, which was registering 16 degrees for much of my...
Speaking of cold commutes, I had my rear derailleur freeze up on me this morning. Of course it had to lock in a stupidly low gear. I have to climb a 13% max...
Yeah - I had a first as well. I came upon a patch of frozen water on the path - runoff - and went around it in the dirt for traction. That broke up the ice....
I had to put on the entire three layer kit this morning. I must have looked like that kid in the "Christmas Story" movie. My rear derailleur also decided to...
Any suggestions on lighting systems? I have an older Nite Rider 10 watt system (I think it was called Digital Head Trip). I'm not very happy with it. It's ...
I have a Marwi Nightpro. I think it's 15 watts and is plenty bright for commuting. The battery lasts well over an hour but needs to be charged overnight (no...
You could also for $100 get one of those 15 watt Performance lights. They work well enough for mountain biking at night and last a good 2 hours, so I'm pretty...
I guess I picked a good day to take off. I'll be out there tomorrow with all of my clothes. It's suppose to warm up to 18F for the morning commute. Charlie ...
