It’s been a while since I made a real post, but I’ve finally got something to blog about!

I have a new commute, Yay! It’s The Capital Crescent Trail. I live in Rossyln, Virginia, and work in Silver Spring, Maryland. Those of you familiar with the DC metro area realize that these places arent *that* far apart. If you could take a straight line from my house to work, it would probaby be a 10-mile line. However, with the lay of the land and rodes, any way you do it, it’s going to run you 12-13+ miles. And that, includes this very trail that I mention above. So I can choose to use the Metrorail (45 mins), drive my car (1 hour), or ride my bike (1 hour 15 mins) to work. Oh, and because of the 500ft gradient, I can actually get home in 45 minutes by bike.

So it’s spring-like out here, and I finally made it my priority to hit the rode, and I discovered that I effing love it. I might be a crazy biker person, not sure yet. I mean, I don’t see myself ever leaving the trails. I *hate* *hate* *hate* riding in traffic. You really shouldn’t trust people in cars, at least that’s my philosophy. Anyway, it started raining on the way home, and I just stuck with it, and didn’t wimp off to the metro. I’m in it to win it, people. There’s definitely the possibility of joining the CC trail group, maybe lending some web design to them or other crap.

More to come!

So after today and tonight (in the rain and mud even) I’m totally sold on this method of transport to work. Especially since its going to give me Buns of Steel.

I love this trail.
