Shenandoah Mountain Adventure
HARRISONBURG, VIRGINIA When it came time to sign up for the Jeremiah Bishop Alpine Loop Gran Fondo I decided to go for the Medio Route (76 miles) instead of the full 100. Since I always sign up for the most difficult challenge this marked a big departure for me. And a little guilt. But […]
Ride of Silence
WOODBRIDGE, VIRGINIA I never participated in a Ride of Silence before. But when I got a call on September 6 asking if I was OK because a cyclist was killed on Spriggs Road, I knew I needed to do something.

The Bridge on the Left is […]
Prostate Cancer Pony Express
WASHINGTON, D.C. The Prostate Cancer Awareness Project sponsors an annual motorcycle ride called the PCAP Prostate Cancer Pony Express. It ended today by the U.S. Capitol. And I joined them.
