Razors Edge ★ Posted July 6, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 6, 2019 ..out in the burbs. My "classic NoVA moment" is at 46:25 when I get passed by an F-150, then an old Civic, and then a Porsche. I love the variety Anyway, yesterday was HOT and HUMID. I tried to get out early, failed, and ended up in the heat of the day. I wisely took it easy, but unwisely failed to have enough water. The lemonade stand I was hoping for at the top of Thomas Mill was also not running. I'm guessing those lazy kids took the holiday off ? I used the free music on the video editing software, so enjoy that cycle of short random tunes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winter really chewed up two of those hills, and descending is a bit sketchier than in in years past. But, if I know my, they'll pave them about a month before the freezing temps return. VDOT hates me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted July 6, 2019 Share #4 Posted July 6, 2019 What are you talking about? Here we have potholes all year long, some big enough to swallow your whole car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of the roads have horrible potholes. All of the roads have cars. If I ride at 7am on a Sunday morning I can go 2 maybe 3 minutes on a side road before I encounter a car.

Boston does not qualify for traffic, it's more like risking your life. I see ghost bikes all the time. I did it about 20 times, I will not do it again.

I (and maybe @Old#7) will guide you through our brutal traffic congestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area has lots of great trails to get around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted July 8, 2019 Share #13 Posted July 8, 2019 Glad you have some nice quiet roads to enjoy. I can leave my house and spend all day on roads like this - but New Jersey sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
