Ryan asked to go riding. Duncan is joining us. The plan is to bundle up and head up to Michaux or maybe head out to the dirt roads around SugarLoaf mountain, or some combination.
I'm joining Dana to sail Aravilla from Baltimore to Norfolk. We have extra time so we're planning on just sailing during the day time, no overnights.
Two days in a row. This will be another shortish ride through fall colors.
It's sunny but also cool and quite windy. The leaves are starting to fall in earnest now. It's been a little while but we're going to try to get out on the street bikes for a modest day ride.
Cloudy. Rain forecast. Cool to Cold. We're planning to head out anyway, but discretion being the better part of valor, taking the RX8. It was two years ago today, Duncan bought it.
Duncan wants to take Alli's DR200 out to run the old gas out of it since it also has not been run in over a year.
Duncan hasn't run his DR650 in far too long so the plan is to brave the heat for a short-ish DR ride. I'm not sure where to head. Maybe Southern Maryland. I'm not sure if we'll find any dirt, but heading to the water might be nice.
We're heading up to Summit point to watch a track day and hopefully meet up with Tom.
Joining Wayne and Jackie on the now annual Fort Lewis Lodge ride.
A group of friends meeting in Virginia
We haven't ridden together in ages. Ryan just his DR all put together and wants to go run some dirt.
On July 29th, 2023, I bolted on the final pieces so now the Oil Burner is whole once again. The plan is simply to stay relatively local and put the bike through it's paces. It worked well on the four mile test loop but we did sync the throttle bodies and adjust the CO, so I don't know if we made some mistake there. So the idea is to be conservative and see how it does. If it does well maybe we'll head further afield.
Ad-hoc solo trip
Bruce and I are planning to head out for an overnight ride. Where we go will largely depend on the weather since there are multiple systems moving through the area. Over the last two days on the DR650 my shoulders and neck are in pretty bad shape so we'll see how much I can do. It's highway miles that seem to hurt the most on the dual-sport.
Bruce, Duncan, and I are going to do another day ride, this time heading North to avoid the rains in this area and to the South.
Bruce is in town and we've been planning on a modest ride. But then we heard Ian was coincidentally also in town so the four of us, Duncan, Bruce, Ian, and I, are going to do a Southern Maryland Loop ride.
The plan is to meet up with John and ride for a couple of days somewhere south.
Aaron is bicycling to Pittsburg and taking an extra day to explore Ohiopyle state park. Carrie and I are going to drive up and join him for a day and a half of camping. Aaron has loaned us a bunch of camping gear but I haven't been camping in ages.
bikepacking westbound Washington DC -> Pittsburgh, PA via C&O Canal Trail and Great Allegheny Passage
Not sure where we'll go, but we're going to head out on the bicycles today for our first ride together.
