Spring Trip 2019

"...its about the journey, not the destination..."

     Every spring and fall my two college room mates and I go on a bike trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway. Lately we have been renting a house in Brevard, North Carolina. My two friends do some hiking during the day, and I ride. This year, due to a conflict one of them had with work, the trip was pushed back into late May. The result: better weather, warmer temperatures, better riding.

      As usual I rode down to Chantilly Virginia, just outside Washington DC, to Curtis' house. Over the years I have developed a route that takes me around Baltimore through Maryland horse country, and totally avoids the interstate. I takes longer than going by the interstate, around Baltimore, and then down to Washington DC, but remember "...its about the journey, not the destination..."
