Follow my continuing passion to explore new adventures on Porsche bicycles. I have conquered a Century ride with a Porsche mountain bike, the Death Ride on a Porsche touring bike, the 184.5-mile Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath in 2020, the 370-mile combined C&O/GAP trail in 2021 and the 237-mile Florida Coast to Coast ride in 2022. Now I'm focused on the Maryland and California Coast & Coast adventure!

Porsche Bike X ride from Baltimore to Annapolis
I had such a great time riding the 1998 Porsche S yesterday that I went out again this morning and rode from Baltimore to Annapolis on the old train line trail on the 2004 Porsche Bike X. My last few Bike X outings ended with flat tires. I hadn't had one flat on that bike until one crazy month after moving to Maryland - I haven't touched the Bike X since. But today was awesome. This paved path is mostly straight with little elevation change so a road bike is ideal. I haven't ridden over 11 miles in a year, so pushing to almost 28 miles wore out my tailbone! I think I'll ride this trail again next weekend!
