57 miles bike ride between Reston and Purceville

I biked 57 miles round trip between Reston and Purceville on W&OD trail today, since I did not find a long hike to take this weekend. It is sad to see that the Trail’s End Cycling co gone/closed. Now it is a bakery. There were a biking fundraising event and a small fitness festival on the trail side today. Since I didn’t bike much this summer, it took a lot will power to paddle via the last 10 miles. Glad I am done.

AV tech workshop and expo in TopGolf

I attended an AV tech workshop and expo in TopGolf, enjoyed the classes, food, and played at 85f for over 100 shots (via playing with other three people at one bay and practicing by myself at another bay). My hands and back are sore now.

Bad Axe Throwing Fairfax

I went to Bad Axe Throwing Fairfax: Free Open House tonight, and played half an hour. Easier than I thought, and no one got injured. LOL Quite interesting experience.

Appalachian Trail to Compton Peak

I enjoyed this 14.5 m hike with 3259 feet elevation gain along Appalachian Trail to Compton Peak out and back, seeing a lot of wild flowers and found eatable mushrooms.

18th Page-to-Stage Festival @ Kennedy Center

I went in DC for the last day of 18th Page-to-Stage Festival @ Kennedy Center, and watched five free readings and open rehearsals of plays and musicals in development.

Virginia triple crown

I and a meetup group tackled Virginia triple crown: McAfee Knob, Tinker Cliffs, and Dragon's Tooth in two days, about 24 miles with 5600 feet elevation gain. Great weather and views without yellow jackets or other big bites. I did not get on Dragon’s Tooth because of the height, so I posted the photos by other hikers.
