Rando Something Something K

Went out riding on Saturday with The Kurt and 40+ something folks from the DC Randonneurs Club.

Six of the 40+

THE Kurt has gone full Rando trifecta, Hi Viz, handlebar bag, and beard.

Did you know that there is good riding to be had east of the Blue Ridge? Turns out that there is a whole other world outside of the Valley.

East of the Blue Ridge it is customary to build your home in trees to thwart attacks from outsiders.

We rode the Wilderness Campaign 200K. It sure was a good time, about 130mi. of flat to rolling terrain through several battlefields, and lots of horse farms.

Look at those elbows! Exposed knees! Nice and warm...

We met a really nice couple, Ed and Mary, that maintain a couple of nice bike blogs. Mary writes Chasing Mailboxes and Ed is taking a hiatus currently but his is/was The Daily Randonneur. Ed and I captured a weird modern meta moment when I took this picture.

And he took this one. I just blew my own mind.
