Washington D.C. trails
As many of you know, I'm a big fan of all the great trails around Washington D.C. I wish I had a couple months to explore them all.
And if you think it wouldn't take a couple months, then you're not familiar w/ all the trails the end up in or near our nation's capitol.
I wanted to bring your attention to a June blog entitled Watch: D.C. Residents Meet the Met Branch Trail.

Bicycle Hero, Congressman Earl Blumenauer
Today's bicycle hero is Representative Earl Blumenauer from Oregon. Rep. Blumenauer is a hero because of his tireless bicycle advocacy. He talks the talk and rides the ride. He is not only a supporter of bicycle use in the United States, he is also a great role model.
According to an article in Parade magazine, he has cycled to work in Washington D.C. for over 12 years. In that time, he has "burned over 300,000 calories and saved $94,000 in car costs, 206 gallons of fuel, and 4800 pounds of carbon dioxide."
No wonder Portland, OR is consistently voted one of the top bicycling cities in the U.S. If all states had public servants like Mr. Blumenauer, this would be a greater country, a greener country, a healthier country, and most certainly a more bicycle friendly country.
Our helmets are off to you, Congressman Blumenauer. (But only while we're not riding our bikes.)
