Today's ride - 18 miles on the Mt. Vernon trail along the Potomac River in Washington DC. From Theodore Roosevelt island to Alexandria and back.

Good on you! You rode directly past my office today!

Haven’t been riding for over three weeks I think, just a couple of trips to the office last week.
Today was grey and cold but not raining but really I wanted to get out. Rode to a bike shop to look for some e-bikes with internal gearing and also a coaster brake. For a friend.
Then rode to the office to get some prints. My office is at the appendix bottom left on the route map. It started to rain but it was only a very light drizzle so I countinued through towb out to the park area Djurgården.
Stopped ar Rosendal where they grow and sell plants and flowers etc. They also have a nice café in old green houses. Had a coffee and a cinnamon roll.
Cheched out a new bridge for pedestrians (and cyclist?) and the followed the canal to the last bridge and then returned home.
Rode 28km. It was 6°C when I started at 14.00 and 4-5°C (40°F) when I returned but still a pleasant afternoon.

Today was cloudy and dismal and drippy so decided to do the ebike-with-trailer ride day to do road cleanup. Not a long ride because of the weather, mostly stop and start for about 6 miles of gravel roads. Used my old hub conversion ebike with the throttle. I have it set up to pull the converted baby trailer with a frame for the litter bags.

Was only 1/2 mile from home when I heard the furious galloping of hooves on the gravel road behind me - one of the whips from our local foxhunt came flying down the road and pulled up to a halt next to me to flank the foxhound pack which was running hard and singing furiously in the woods across the way. His horse gave my bike and trailer the stink eye, then ignored me as the pack's song swelled in our direction. It was glorious music, so the whip and I stood listening to the magnificent rise and fall of hound voices until about 10 minutes later it finally faded to one or two forlorn yips and boo-hoos with the loss of the scent. (We have very smart foxes who know their territory like the back of their paw, can run a smart circle around the countryside then drop the pack with aplomb) . Got this shot of the whip just before he said goodbye to me and disappeared into the underbrush to meet up with the gathered pack and the huntsman.

I went on my merry way as the intermittent drizzle continued to fall, picking up litter along the way, and stopping to talk to neighbors. It was fun to get the old ebike back out again, and get the roads cleaned at the same time. It was pretty, too, with the trees finally starting to change.

Let's just end the Skytrain right here!



A somewhat disadvantaged neighborhood...



Might have to check this place out one night...

Could so easily be a Sunday morning scene, here in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Except fox hunting is now illegal, hounds get taken out on a scent hunt trail. But the visual scene and aura to a meet remains unchanging.

I love everyone's photos with the fall colors. I turned 69 yesterday. First I made a run to our local farmer's market and then went for a 40 mile ride with a dear friend, out into the county farmland with its flat,lightly traveled roads.

Great way to celebrate a birthday, on any ebike!

 

[Cowlitz]

We were too late for fall colors, but I happened to accidentally get the mountains to the west in a picture. This is east of Okanogan, WA. The wind came up and I was getting blown around a bit on the way back. I like the semi-round rock. I am easily amused.

@Alaskan - Happy 69th!

Looks like you've lost some weight this year?

 

[AlanDB]

You are a young looking 69 Alaskan! Happy Birthday!

 

[Alaskan]

Looks like you've lost some weight this year?

Actually not; but I have converted a lot to muscle, mostly in my quads, hamstrings and glutes. Shirt is looser, pant thighs are snugger and they don't sag as easily.

 

[Alaskan]

Nancy and I just did a fun 30 miles around the Bellingham Bay and back. Our house is on the hillside to the left of Mt. Baker

You are a young looking 69 Alaskan! Happy Birthday!

Thanks Alan. Must be because I marred a young looking 60 year old (25 when we married).

Back from a tour of Holland and Northern Germany , superb cycling infrastructure in place , + lots of space for bikes on their rail trains .

Great photos of what looks like a most enjoyable bike expedition. It appears your Supercharger carried a heavy load well. Thanks for sharing such interesting photos of your trip.

Many thanks, bike sure holds it well, the balance is awesome, especially down hills and getting well over 100 miles per day in Eco mode on superb purpose built bike lanes .

Our bike path has become a canal.

I used to ride thru this kind of stuff for fun, on throttle if it was less than 6 inches and maybe less than a hundred yards, but after having two bikes wash out this summer, it's better to be cautious. Besides, might run over a fish.

@Alaskan Happy Birthday!

No ride yesterday as I was at the motor racing but I have 2 days off and the weather is great for the time of year 63 miles in the Autumn sunshine with 4,100 ft of climbing, my 2019 total is now 3,139 miles, only 131 miles to go to beat last years total Hopefully that will reduce even more tomorrow, I might make it a 50 miler as my legs were tired today...that might change if I'm enjoying myself too much

 

[RabH]

As I said yesterday, my aim was to cover 50 miles today which I did...50.1 to be exact Back to work tomorrow so the fun is over for now...
