Brandi and I went for a short ride on the CVRT today.
She is no longer happy riding my hand-me-down B17s. I think I’m going to get her a B68s.
Today: 8 miles

I was talking to The Sloth after critical mass the other night, and we mulled over the idea of doing an overnight bike-camping trip to do the Pine Creek Rail Trail, ideally in full leaf season (Early October maybe?).
This would be a slow, meandering ride, with many stops to take pictures, scratch our butts, and enjoy the quiet of the wilderness.
The trail is about 70 miles long, so we would ride about 35 miles each day, unless everyone wants to skip some of the less scenic southern sections.
We’ll need to secure a camping permit from DCNR, so we’re gonna need a headcount and we’ll have to pick a weekend fairly soon.
If interested, please leave a comment, or send me an email and let me know which weekend works best for you.
I did this by myself last year, and it was really nice.
Tex, Expedia says round-trip airfare from SDF to MDT is $206.00. You know you want to come.
About 10 of us braved the rain, and rode all around Harrisburg last night. I didn’t bring my camera, for fear of water damage. So no pictures for me. I’m pretty sure I saw somebody else with a camera, so I’m sure pictures will emerge soon enough.
Yesterday: 6 miles

If you haven’t been paying attention, the OpenCycleMap now officially kicks ass!
Andy and his evil henchmen have added elevation shading, contours, and even corporate sponsorship from Cloudmade!
Of local interest, you can now see:
Watch out, Bikely! OSM is coming for you!
