I've been bicycling in the heat here in Virginia. My sil says I'm crazy. She likes to stay in the house in the air conditioning during these 100+ degree days. She doesn't know what she is missing. I texted a picture of the beach back to all the house sitters yesterday. I brought an extra bike down for my sister in law to ride but she hasn't been on it yet. Roll Eyes

If I had one I would have been able to take a picture of something like this only we were all wearing helmets. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!

Most places don't require helmets on adults on bicycles

This weeks adventure is going to include exploring the abandoned turnpike tunnels. In 1968 they re-routed the Pennsylvania turnpike to avoid some of the tunnels through the mountains. That section of turnpike and the tunnels were just abandoned, they are still there. Some bikers discovered hot to get to abandoned section and put the directions online. I'm driving down to Breezewood this week going exploring. I hear it is a twilight zone experience to be riding down an abandoned highway, nobody else around, no motor vehicles, probably no other bicycles either. I wonder if there is a cell phone signal? Probably not. Undecided

It would be nice to find a riding buddy in case I get eaten by a bear or something. That way people back home can find out what happened to me.

I had a blast exploring the abandoned turnpike. Kinda spooky in the tunnels, not so much the tunnel proper but I got off the bike and went inside where the ventilation turbos are and the different access passages. They are really dark. In the tunnels I couldn't help but sing. It sounds so awesome. Here's a few pics.
