Penns Creek Path

Trail Scene

Penns Creek Path is a little leftover chunk of logging railroad from the 1800’s. It’s only 3 miles long, but you get to go through a spooky old tunnel.

We saw a rattlesnake too!

CVRT

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.

August Critical Mass

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

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.

Commute

Very sticky, humid ride in today.
When I arrived, I discovered that forgot my towel, and had to dry off with my sweaty shirt.

Bleagh!

Foothills

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

I’ve been spending too much time riding along the river and on rail trails.

My evil plans to conquer the world will never succeed if I can’t ride my bicycle up hills. So today, I decided to head west, away from the river, and into the Appalachian foothills near my house.

I was planning to ride to the AT, and turn around and ride back - about 16 miles round trip.

I knew it was gonna be a roller coaster ride with the hills, so I cranked down each hill as hard as I could to keep my momentum for the grind up the next one.

I survived about 4.5 miles of this before my legs melted and my lungs caught fire.

So, I turned around.
