Speaking of bicycling

Cycleicio.us comments about "Bike to Work" events being pretty lily white.

And while I hate to be promoting the suburbs, the Anacostia Heritage Trails Area is sponsoring a bicycle tour on June 3rd, entitled "Go Prince George's," with 10, 20 and 40 mile rides visiting "cultural, historical, and natural attaractions that can be accessed from the Anacostia Tributary Trail System." Bike rentals will available on a first-come, first-served basis. I think it starts at the Bladensburg Waterfront Park.

Updated: Ken Firestone, clearly a better researcher than I, provides this link with more information about the event. Or call 301-887-0777 or send email to the ATHA director, Karen Crooms. THANKS!

The bike tour is part of National Trails Day (about.com site), an event that encourages people "to get outside, get active, and experience the wonders of trails in their own communities." (On that day, I'll be experiencing the wonders of post-Katrina New Orleans.) Click here for the official National Trails Day site.
