Family events and responsibilities kept me out of many of the local rides planned for the Thanksgiving break, so Sunday I went out by myself.
The bike of choice was the Quickbeam, still shod with knobbies and geared for off road climbing (and coasting!). I was in no hurry, so the forced slower pace was relaxing fun. There is nothing wrong with easy rides.
I met another biker named Brian, and he rode with me through the Green Valley Subdivision, but peeled off to head home while I went off towards Bartholows Road.
Lots of little ups and downs, and lots of neighborhood roads. Sometimes the areas I ride through have their own little character. Was that missing today, or was I just inattentive? The ride was good, but the area was not particularly exciting. Does that sound too negative? I think I'll come back next weekend and try a fresh look.
| Typical of the roads I was riding today. |
| Hilly, but not too painful for the gearing I had today. |
| Some folks take this shortcut over to Westwind drive, which I visited on this ride. |
| The Mt. Airy spur rejoins the Old Main Line under Bartholows Road. |
| A bit of chipseal on Weller Rd. was as close as I got to dirt roads today. |
