July 4th bike camping


I had a great long weekend, bike camping with Aron, Alex, Mike, Nils, Delphine and James. Our route took us just about exactly 100 miles -- up the C&O Canal, camping overnight, then looping around Poolesville, taking White's Ferry to Virginia, and heading back to DC on the W&OD trail. It made for a laid-back trip with the good weather and the fact that James met us by motorcycle at camp with the makings for a delicious dinner. I think we all had a good time despite three flat tires and one collision with a tree (none of those was me, and everyone was fine). We even made it back to DC just in time to watch the fireworks (official and unofficial) from Alex's rooftop deck.
