With warmer weather approaching, it's time to get outside and get active! Your fellow bloggers Firefighter and M3 are gearing up for an epic bicycle trip from Cumberland, Maryland to Washington, D.C. along the historic C&O Canal Trail.
The last time I went on an epic journey with Firefighter was probably about 18 years ago on the infamous Johnstown to Newark, Ohio Trail.
On the final leg, after the 30 mile round trip, as Firefighter stepped up the power to race across the finish, one of his pedals snapped like dry spaghetti and he went tumbling down.
With his bike incapacitated and his body bruised, battered and cut, Firefighter limped along the trail while I rushed back to the end point to get the car to come back and pick him up.
And now he doesn't want to wear one of those "goofy" helmets. I can't wait until our June trip!
Hardcore, I am hardcore! No safety gear needed. I love pain, I eat pain, breath pain take pain pills, LOL.
