Some quick pictures of the trail that runs around BWI Airport. The weather wasn't the greatest but it's a nice ride. I'll have to go back and take the trail spur the goes to the B&A Trail and ride down to Annapolis.


Really wished this had turned out better. View from observation area.

Off the bike

For the most part I've been of the bike for awhile but I did buy a new used bike. Having not posted in some time I'll start with a question. I picked up a 84' Schwinn Le Tour off of Craigslist, a work in progress pictures later, rode it for a long stretch today and very happy. I'm wondering though if it's just me or do others feel guilty about leaving their other bike or bikes behind?
