My leg still hurts, honestly. 😁

Man, a light derailleur tweak is one thing... but since we're talking about total wrecks—last year, during my first trip out to the city—my cassette chainring somehow jammed right into the spokes (don't even ask how)... snapped the rim, broke my arm for six months... just nothing left, front wheel spinning in the air and I'm stuck hauling my Ford all the way back to my parents' place in New York City...🙂

I managed to hit 4.4 miles in 38 minutes today—that’s about it for me. Not asking for much more out of life, I guess. 😁

Just take it easy and keep those pedals turning... my wife's VA - Old Town ride took her 1 hour and 20 minutes, maybe around 18-12 miles, but I'm happy just being in a good mood...😁

... everyone's got their own pace, I suppose...👋

Still doing the bike-to-work thing... clocked 1243 miles just for my commute over the last couple months.

But hey, you've got a pretty solid route too—wish I had a few more miles left in me... as long as the wheels are turning, I guess...😁

...here's my take

...takes about 30 mins, give or take two 🙂

I’ve been riding through there for a week now—nothing. I was digging through some old posts from last year about this, and honestly, back when I was hitting that crossing at least twice a week from late March through September, I never had any issues...🙂
