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.


To read the blog about the Met Trail in Washington D.C., follow this link.

Biking women


“Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel… the picture of free, untrammelled womanhood.” – Susan B. Anthony, 1896

Poudre River Trail closing

It’s Greeley Stampede time which means rodeo, corn dogs, carnival rides and ….

…trail closings. The east end of the Poudre River Trail, in Greeley, Colorado, is closed for two reasons.

First, the annual Greeley Stampede takes place right at the eastern terminus of the trail. So there’s a big ol’ gate at the very beginning of the trail.

Then, if you think you’re clever and find a way around the gate (easy if you go through the dirt parking lot), you’ll be stopped by another barricade a couple miles up the trail. And this one is serious. Oh the barricade is easy enough to get around, but the demolished trail over a ditch is another matter.

Bottom line … If you’re going for a bike ride or hike on the Poudre River Trail, start at the west end in Windsor, CO or start at the Rover Run Dog Park off of F Street in Greeley, CO.

Trailsnet Blog update

For those of you who follow this blog on the trailsnet website, you may have notice that it has not updated since (gulp) February.

I finally figured out the problem and fixed it. Now the blog will update daily, just like the blogspot version.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

On the bright side, my twitter updates have been fast & furious, & I have recently added some great twitners. (If that’s not what Twitter partners are called, they should be.)

Visit the trailsnet Twitter site soon.

There are times when taking a walk w/ your children/spouse/friend should take precedence over cleaning your home or checking email.

Glenwood Canyon Trail


Remember those stories of trolls that live under bridges? Now is your chance to be the troll, except that you’re not just limited to bridges. You’ll be toolin’ around under entire stretches of I-70, a major highway.
This stretch of canyon has been described by many as one of the most scenic stretches of highway in the world. The problem is, if you’re driving on the highway, you don’t really get to appreciate it. You’re going too fast and watching the road. At least that’s been my experience.


The Rio Grande Trail runs from Glenwood Springs to Aspen, CO and makes a nice accompaniment to the Glenwood Canyon Trail.
