In the Saddle

One used 12-speed bike on craigslist: $65
Used bike accessories (bike rack, lock, helmet, etc.): $30
Chance for a little adventure: Priceless

Day one: Baltimore to Annapolis. 20 miles (after a ride on the light rail). Almost completely on a paved bike path. So nice. But having not ridden much in the past couple months, I was really feeling it. We'll see how my legs (and ass) feel tomorrow. Perhaps buying the first bike I came across (that turned out to be too small, kind of rusty, and fully ghetto) was a bad idea. Time will tell, I guess. Tomorrow is the Annapolis to D.C. leg. Prolly about 30 miles, unless I wuss out and take the metro for part of it. But that's okay. I shouldn't overdo it too much. I've got a long way to go.

uhm . . can't help but notice you're going south into a country that hates bicycles. flip that mighty steed around and pedal into a horizon filled with bike lanes and summer festivals . . . eh?

The Per has a point. The city that brought you Just for Laughs, Cirque du Soleil, and the coolest Jazz Festival in the world is also very bicycle friendly.I'm the only one in North Carolina without a big truck.
