I didn't do a very good job of keeping up with my ride posts last year. I have many partly written, but my motivation to finish writing was lacking. 2011 was an off year. Bad weather, scheduling conflicts and a bad fall in early September made is my worst year in years. Finished with only 1050 miles, far below the 1800 mile target I set. Did have a few new rides. Did the Tour dem Parks for the first time. Tour du Chesapeake instead of Bike New york. Also did my first Monuments by Moonlight ride. This year I'll set a more modest goal of 1500 miles. And I'll try to keep up with my ride posts, even if I have to truncate them a bit. Safe riding out there. originally posted March 31, 2012 Sunday March 18, 2012 11:15 am to 3:30 pm Start: Rosslyn, Nash Street Route: MVT, 14th Street Bridge, Hains Point, Ohio, MLK, Independence, WaMo, 17th, Lafayette Square, McPherson Square, 16th, P, 18th, R, Q, 29th, R, 34th, Key Bridge, Custis Trail.
