It has been a little over seven years since I last visited Carvins Cove. The last time around I was working on Mountain Biking Virginia and my buddy Mark H. and I rode some of the tougher trails along this classic Blue Ridge destination.

Several friends and I spent this past Saturday tackling the Southern Traverse, an IMBA Epic ride along the southern spine of the Shenandoah Mountain Trail.

Great weather, amazing trails, and awesome riding buddies. The 2023 MoCo Epic did not disappoint.

I spent a few days down in Lima visiting family and managed to escape for a day of riding south of the city along a new destination, Pelicanos

Day two ride during my annual outing to Raystown Lake with theqMTB Crew.

Day one of our riding adventure at the Allegrippis Trail System at Raystown Lake.

Hundreds of riders took on the challenge to cycle 40, 60 or 80 miles along the historic gravel roads of Loudoun County, VA, in support of America’s Routes, an organization working to preserve this unique and precious resource.

Earlier this year my good friend Paul asked me if I would be willing to join him and another friend, Becky, on a three day trip to ride the full length of the C&O towpath, 184.5 miles, from Cumberland, MD to Washington, D.C.

A few more days mountain biking in Peru

I wrote this a little over two years after a few friends and I visited Peru. I’m Revisiting and sharing it here in anticipation of an upcoming trip back to the Sacred Valley.

D.C. Area cyclists are lucky to have a new and challenging venue where to test and hone their downhill mountain biking skills. Bryce Resort in Basye, VA (just over 100 miles from Northern Virginia) recently opened and is continuing to expand a network of lift-assisted mountain bike trails that offer runs for both beginner and expert riders.
