Brambleton sprint. I trained with Bikeshare bikes and rented a bike on race day. Blew out my lungs in the swim and hyperventilated through the whole thing. Very painful.
What […]

I had done a sprint triathlon in the early 1990s. After my mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I felt like I needed a new goal, so I signed up for Reston, an Olympic […]

This week’s ride is to Elder Pine brewery tomorrow (3/1) north of Olney if anyone would like to join for about 60 miles. I join from the French School off Beach Dr but you can save a bit by starting/ending from Takoma or Glenmont.

You can park by the Rollerskating Pavilion. Some people like to do loops on Anacostia Dr within Anacostia Park. Or you can bike further north past Kenilworth Gardens to Bladensburg Waterfront. If you don’t mind biking a bit further north there’s a lot of breweries and shops around Hyattsville if you’d like to stop to refuel.
