"When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking."

The C and O Canal runs 184 miles from Cumberland MD to Washington DC - A pleasent spin for sure, good company with Trevor from Alaska, and certainly enough milage to get our attention.

At the last lock in Georgetown, Washington DC. A fun ride while encountering Eastern painted turtles, snapping turtles, black snakes, garter snakes, a river otter, and a host of birds.

so arthur conan doyle was a cycling enthusiast?
looks like a hugely relaxing ride.
Apparently! He did have a chapter about the adventures of the solitary cyclist...and I found the following which I liked..."I can only speak words of praise for the bicycle, for I believe that its use is commonly beneficial and not at all detrimental to health, except in the matter of beginners who overdo it." lol!
this is so interesting but the only prob is that I cannot ride so well & so fast either...lol.. I would be on a stretcher ...or in heaven even if I tried doing this... I like your blog dear friend... & i like the way u write too.. take care..
