Summer bicycle training continues
Last night I rode from Johns Hopkins Hospital to Hunt Valley Light Rail Stop. It was a 20 mile trip, and took me about 2 hours. I joined the East Coast Greenway route at Univesity Blvd. and Roland, and stuck with it on Charles Street after dark. This part of Charles has a very wide shoulder, so that it is quite safe. Although there was alot of fast moving traffic, the main hazard at night was a couple of lost retreads in the wide shoulder area. It was a little tough finding my way from Charles to Greenspring Drive at night, but I managed it. If you ride this route at night, I recommend copious bicycle lighting. East Coast Greenway Google maps are availalble on the web.
I made excellent time in the cool night air for the last 5 miles. It was pure pleasure taking the back roads of Cockeysville at high speed. It was a great ride, and I took the Light Rail train home. If you live in Baltimore, you should try this route. It is fairly easy to connect to the NCR York trail once you get to Cockeysville, and there are plenty of shopping and errands to get done on nearby York Avenue. If you become too adventurous, the Light Rail trains are ready at hand to get you home. Such is the usual case for me.

Shell Bores Into Arctic Sea Despite Flimsy Safety Tests
Shell began drilling into the Arctic on Sunday despite little safety testing and without its containment barge.
The company's Noble Discoverer began drilling "pilot holes" 1,400 feet beneath the sea floor in the Chukchi Sea, about 70 miles from the Alaska coast.
"In the days to come, drilling will continue in the Chukchi Sea, and we will prepare for drilling to commence in the Beaufort Sea," the company stated.

Labor day #bike trip - NCR Trail - Baltimore to York PA, round trip - #bicycle #biking
Here are some typical spots along the NCR trail, which extends from Baltmore Maryland to York Pennsylvania. There are waterfalls and other beautiful places. In Pennsylvania, the old rails are still in place along the trail. I stayed in a cabin in Maryland, near the Pennsylvania border. My camera phone took a little moisture along the way, as you can see in the last shot, but fortunately, it kept working. If you try this, you might want to keep your phone in a water-proof sack.
I managed to explore York, New Freedom, and Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania. The trip covered about 90 miles in 3 days, and I earned my Presidential Champions Gold Medal in the Presidents Challenge program. You can read about that at the link below. I had a great holiday, and feel a sense of accomplishment as well, not bad for a 50+ year old man.
https://www.presidentschallenge.org/challenge/champions/index.shtml
After 35 years of bicycle commuting, I am taking well to the extended range. If you choose to do this trip, I recommend a season of training prior to leaving. IMHO, you need to be able to consistently ride at least 20 miles as part of your regular workout.
