Pictures of the Year 2023

The Celery…oops…Cider Ride Crew in Greenbelt, Maryland
I did it again. 15 times and with a terrific posse
Bike Tour 2023: It was a code purple air quality day in Erie PA. I rode with an N95 mask on and hardly noticed.
Bike Tour 2023: At the top of one of three wikkid climbs on my way across New England.
Bike Tour 2023: Looking down from one of the towers on the Penobscot Narrows Bridge in Maine
Bike Tour 2023: Her name was Mary Anne.
Bike Tour 2023: Finally rode in a foreign country. For 35 very wet miles.
The flowers never disappoint at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. (Photo was not touched up.)
Bike Tour 2023: On the penultimate day of my bike tour, I ran into Kevin in Shepherdstown, WV.
Maybe Beth is right. Maybe I should change my bike’s name from Big Nellie to Old Nellie after all.
Bike Tour 2023: Horseshoe Falls at Niagara Falls from the rear in Canada
Drop bars were causing me so much back pain that I almost sold Little Nellie. Then I put H-bars on and liked them so much I rode over 2,000 miles on it.

The Mule had taken quite a beating over the last couple of years. Here’s one of the rims. Bikes at Vienna did a ton of work on the bike last winter and it rolled like a champ all year long.
I attended a book signing at Bards Alley in Vienna, Virginia. David Goodrich rode the Underground Railroad. It was unexpectedly good preparation for my bike tour on which I passed several stops on the railroad in upstate New York.
