I drove up and rode for a couple of hours on the NCR trail. It was the first time I've been on it since I moved to Baltimore. It was really nice but pretty slow-going because it was completely covered in snow, ice, mud, and slush. I'm just glad I was on a cross bike. My bike and I were filthy by the end and I had to use my jersey to clean off my bike as best I could so my wife wouldn't kill me for muddying up our new car. It was a lot of fun and great to be out in the sun for the first time in a while.

Oh, and I'd be thrilled to try some of that homebrew. I've always wanted to try doing it myself but I've never really had the space for it. Such is the peril of apartment living...
