Re: [RBW] Re: C in October

2015-10-15 Thread Jeff Lesperance
I haven't purposely taken a slightly extended period of time to give thanks
and comment on Chris' visit and great ride on the C, life jut managed to
pick up at it's occasional breakneck pace as soon as I returned to reality.
Some other folks who joined in part of the ride on day one, or the first
overnight, like I did, have already let you all know that it was a
beautiful day amongst great company. Most folks took far more and much
better pictures than I did as well. I guess I have a little something else
to share about the day...

Life's thrown me a few knuckleballs over the past several years. I spent
three or so of the last five or so years helping my mother through a
terrible cancer fight. We made it through one round but she didn't survive
round two. I've spent the past two years getting things right with myself
since that fight.

I found that being out in the world, away from the cacophony of my general
urban surroundings, perched on a bike, rolling through the landscape, has
been phenomenal "therapy." I've focused most of my riding on solo
excursions, be it commuting, weekend adventuring or just riding around.
Just this past year I've opened myself up more to the idea of finding some
folks who like to ride the way I like to ride (which appears to be the way
most of you like to ride), and, well, going for rides with them. As a
lifelong introvert, I'm not always comfortable with a bunch of new people,
and as a reforming solo bike rider, I barely know how to ride along with
other folks. This is where Chris and local DC Metro area Riv-folk come in...

I kinda set out on this trip last week cognizant that it was Chris' ride. I
was happy for the invite to join in, but I didn't want to make it my ride.
Combine that with the introverted tendencies, and I thought I might just
participate a bit, maybe hang back and certainly enjoy the day on the C
A few friends and strangers just picked up on a common interest and good
things happened. There wasn't really a non-participatory option, and this
was a good thing.

Some days you just go out for a bike ride, and that's all it is, just a
human-mechanical interface event. Hop on, body moves, bike moves, hop off.
Other times, it's not just a bike ride, it's a bigger thing. Could be a
faith-restoring event even. Faith in what? Doesn't matter. Sound crazy?
Maybe it is.

I made my way solo back to DC on day two. I started the trek feeling light,
energized, full.

There's good people out there. Sometimes you meet 'em on a bike.

Chris, Steve, Carey (and Tom, Tony, Ken, the other Steve, the other Steve?,
Mary) it was a pleasure to meet you, on a bike. Thanks for letting me in on
your more-than-just-a-ride.

2015-10-15 Thread Pondero
Hugh, thanks for the kind words.  I've got the first three days of photos now 
up on Flickr, and day four will be uploaded soon.

Jeff, your comments resonate.  As a classic introvert who needs more solo time 
than most, I actually get more solo than I need out here in north central 
Texas.  So when there is a chance to geek out with folks having a common 
interest, it is special.  Your presence enriched our trip, and I hope you and 
Carey will be able to link up occasionally.

Now that I'm back home, it's time for me to turn my attention to the Seventh 
Annual Fifty-ish Mile Fall Finale Country Path Ramble (the Ramble) that I host 
each year from my house.  Saturday, November 14.  Y'all come on down!

some riding!  This virtual community is pretty awesome, and the face to

challenge to jump back into one's everyday routine after the high of a

Steve,

I had to look up Dickerson on a map, and noticed it is near the Monocacy 
Aqueduct.  We spent our first night in a H/B site just north of the 
Aqueduct... 
https://www.flickr.com/photos/28889177@N06/22109963272/in/dateposted-public/ 
 

I'm not sure if that is the area you are asking about, but I believe the 
trail was generally in pretty good condition in the vicinity, but with a 
few muddy spots to keep it interesting.  Maybe Tom or Jeff can be more 
helpful.

Hi Steve,

Ed and I rode the trail back from Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, to D.C. on 
Sunday, and there were a few soft spots, but nothing unmanageable. The only 
issue is that the ground has begun to saturate in a few places so any 
additional rain we receive takes more time to drain. Again, nothing 
unmanageable, just a few bits of squish. Here's my photo set from the 
weekend; it even includes a picture of you!

Hi Steve,

Ed and I rode the trail back from Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, to 
D.C. on Sunday, and there were a few soft spots, but nothing 
unmanageable. The only issue is that the ground has begun to saturate 
in a few places so any additional rain we receive takes more time to 
drain. Again, nothing unmanageable, just a few bits of squish. Here's 
my photo set from the weekend; it even includes a picture of you!

It must be at least 10 years since I even though about that bike. It 
wasn't until I googled Mary's name in search of an email address and saw 
"Felkerino" in one of her blog posts that it came back to me.  
Basically, when you're out riding on the Towpath and someone passing by 
recognizes the M.A.P. on the downtube and knows Mitch Pryor you've again 
proven that it can sometimes be a mighty small world.

Hugh,
That is a great (and reasonable) question!  I'm terrible with recalling 
names but I'll do my best with apologies to anyone I screw up... I'll ID 
the person's bike because for some reason I do remember at least some 
details about each bike even if I can't now remember a name.  Which 
probably doesn't speak well to my priorities.  :)



Left to Right,


Chris (Pondero) - Texas dust coated light green AHH

Jeff L. (MD local) - Bright blue AHH w/ albastache

Mary (Coffeeneur, DC local) - Surly LHT

Tom A (Pudge, DE) - Black, parallel TT Bombadil w/ rolhoff

Ken P (local) - Butternut Saluki, with jingle bells!

??? - Bright blue AHH at center is this gentleman's bike but I didn't catch 
his name

Tony D (me) (VA local) - Green Saluki

Steve (local) - white steel road bike, didn't get a good look at this one

Chris's Son-in-Law whose name I really should remember! (MD local) - Surly 
Cross Check w/ a saddlesack LARGE

Steve? (Missouri) - Chris's friend with the purple fat tired Univega


Hilsen/Saluki's were very well represented! :)  There was also an 
impressive array of bike luggage given that five of the crew were camping 
at least one night.

All,

I'm the local guy.  I went to meet the group before it departed from 
Fletcher's Boat House yesterday.  What a great group and wish I felt I 
could have kept up.  The blue AHH in the center of the photo is mine, a 
Toyo built with Albatross bars, SKS fenders and Barlow Pass tires..  I love 
it.

My favorite comment of the morning was one that Mary offered:  "so much 
Rivness!"  True and wonderful. 

I'll work on being ready to join the next group heading up or down the C .

After work yesterday I went down to Noland's Ferry and rode towards DC on

continued for a few miles until I found them.  We rode back to the camp

(or more likely passed out)  off the C Canal right this minute.  Couple 
group shot's from Fletcher's Boat House along the C, more photo's and at 
least my part of the ride report coming later this week.

OK, clear to join!

Here's my plan, Chris.  I'll take the train down to DC Monday night and have 
dinner with #3 son.  I'll meet up with you guys at Fletchers Boathouse (I'll 
plan to get there before 9 on Tuesday the 6th, to minimize the risk of missing 
the "train").I'll camp with the crew at Indian Flats on Tuesday night.  My 
hope is to leave my tent, etc. at the campsite on Wednesday morning, ride with 
you as far as Harper's Ferry, then peel off and spend a few hours poking around 
the historical sites there before returning to Indian Flats Wednesday night.  
Up early Thursday, return to DC, and train back to Wilmington.

Anybody have an assessment of risk of leaving tent, bag and pad at the campsite 
for the day?

If you don't mind, please come back to the thread with your final plans. 
 I'm unlikely to make it, but there's an outside chance i could meet up for 
a short part of this.  

FYI, this is unlikely to affect you but the Army Ten Miler is the following 
weekend (the 11th).  You're ahead of this and going north, but having a 
30,000+ road race sometimes causes unexpected problems.

I'm still planning to meet you out on the 6th, and hopefully join you for
the overnight as well then head back to DC via the tow path on the 7th.
Can't wait!

Hmmm, Saluki or Bombadil!?!

I still have it on my calendar, and was thinking I'd be able to do the same
as Tony, s24o. As I've already toured on my HIllborne, I think my new-to-me
Hilsen will have to get the nod for the trip.

A thread refresh to remind DC area folks that my trip is still a "go" and 
there have been no changes in the dates (October 6-9).  A month from now, 
my son-in-law, Steve Butcher, and I will be touring through the C trail.

We'd love to met and ride with some of you locals, if possible.

Just read thru the thread and didn't see a posting re which bike you 
decided to take. I'm interested in your decision.
Also interested in hearing about the ride as it sure looks like fun and 
something we might want to plan

KC, I haven't decided which bike to take with me.  Any one would work 
great, and it might come down to how I feel when it is time to put 
something in a box.

The trip will be special because it promises to blend family, friends, and 
riding.  It sounds like I'll be able to meet some of my east US friends for 
the very first time.  I'm sure I'll follow-up with some kind of a report.
