Leaving Brooklyn


The Williamsburg bridge, late September.

Mile 1000

Somewhere in Pennsylvania's mushroom country, the big 1k.

Maryland

Somehow I fell in love, quite unexpectedly, with Maryland. Despite having to emergency camp, in the rain, behind an incomplete subdivision in some irritating richy-richy suburbs of Baltimore, the ride from DC to Philly was lovely. Forest, horse country, old houses, all in a constant soaking rain that created beautiful ground mists.

Pardon the Interruption

My posting regularity got sort of interrupted this last month. First I was in DC, then in Philly, DC, Hartford. Spent some time kayaking an underground river, helping friends move, and installing solar panels. Now I'm caught in the vortex of the Obama campaign in Northern Ohio, working 15-hour days with six more to go. I'm just going to throw some scattershot photos and comments as I can.

A FOUR THOUSAND FOOT TUNNEL FOR YOUR BIKE. This is a good thing.
