New Blog!!!

Yay, I've started yet another new blog. So far, this is my 6th blog, but only the second to be published on line. I have two others waiting in the wings to be published, but I haven't worked on them in a long time. This blog will be used to show off some bike routes that start on the North side of Roanoke. So many of the rides you see listed on various sites have starting points in South Roanoke. Well, guess what, there are bikers over here too!!! Remember in the end, the North prevailed in the Civil War. =) Kidding! Anyway, hopefully I can use Mapmyride and Google Maps to share with you bike routes of many lengths with starting points north of Downtown Roanoke.
