Right now, do whatever scheming and prevaricating required to get yourself outside and on your bike. For real. Hit that “mark as unread” button and get outta here!

On warm winter days, I like to ride in places where there are lots of trees—the views are so different when the leaves are gone. This loop along the Patuxent River in Croom, for example, or this one, from the Glenmont Metro through Olney out towards Damascus, give you a deeper peek into the woodland ecosystems than you’d get in the summer.

A Fun Route Idea For the Weekend

Go ride your bike to a cafe or somewhere you can sit outside and have a beverage in the sunshine. 

Have  a great weekend.
