Looks like I've been following a pretty simple life philosophy recently: when unsure what to do next - just go for a bike ride! 😆
✅ Enjoyed another 60K and got 12 Strava Segment PRs along the way! 🚴🥇

It's a great way to clear your mind from work and other daily routine! ☯️

☀️ It's getting really hot outside. The 🌡️35°C heat, however, wasn't enough to stop me from going for a bike ride! 😎 This time - a rather high intensity 70K ride (more of a workout than a stroll) along the W&OD Trail with a short break at the Luck Stone Quarry Overlook.

I think this most recent bike adventure of mine wraps it up for my Trek Domane SL5 off-road capability testing. It's truly impressive how capable this bike is: it withstood the test of handling tough forest trails full of mud, gravel, rocks and tree roots without any issues!

80K adventure bike ride thru the W&OD, Fairfax County Parkway and Gerry Connolly Cross County trails. The latter one is new to me and I really liked how its path - with a few lengthy gravel segments and countless bridges over streams - winds through a quiet and shady forest.

🚵 A lively VA🔁MD 📏60K•⛰1180m bike adventure:

✔ Explored the (mostly new to me) Capital Crescent Trail

✔ Checked out the Dalecarlia Tunnel built in 1910

✔ Confirmed Trek Domane SL 5 can handle gravel just fine … but still needs help with stairs & rocky hiking trails 🤷😆

В этом году снова выбрались поучаствовать в #Cycle4Survival (одно из самых продуктивных движений по сбору средств для борьбы с редкими видами рака в США) @ The Wharf #DC (причал в портовом районе) небольшой группой сотрудников @LeagueApps.
