Happy Saturday night, gents.

Good Op-Ed on the sorry state of the C&O Canal towpath. Pretty embarrassing as it’s a National Park. @bicycleradical

Sushi taro experts, I need your advice. Planning for wedding anniversary dinner.

What’s the difference between the kaiseki menu vs omakase?

When I did my century last year, I rode from Georgetown to Whites Ferry to cross the Potomac. The section from Georgetown to Great Falls is one of the most beautiful on the towpath however the path itself is in rough shape. I hope that this section is repaired soon as the section from Riley's Lock to Whites Ferry is really smooth now.

I'm aiming for the WO&D out to Purcelville and back I think. Road bike is a little easier to handle on the paved trails.

I was tired of the grind on the towpath by the time I got to Whites Ferry so I don't blame you.

Kaiseki emphasizes cooked dishes, so you'll get something deep-fried or steamed alongside the sashimi and sushi. It's a good meal, although I prefer the straight-up omakase. Nakazawa also does one heck of a tasting menu.

Thanks! We went to Nakazawa a couple years ago for that and it was incredible.

I'm much more in Edward Abbey's camp in terms of National Parks. They shouldn't be maintained, or have facilities, or concessions (or, roads, frankly). They should remain wild.

Heat index up around 100 again so it’s all linen, all day. Zegna tshirt, Sage de Cret shorts, Mephisto shoes.

Finally took the Ring Jacket sport coat to my tailor. They let out the waist a bit and brought the sleeves in. Fits really well and you can feel the breeze blow right through it. Wore it to work today but pulled off my tie on the way home. Worn with Moscot Lemtosh sunglasses, RLPL dress shirt, Rota pants in that great Loro Piana wool/silk/linen Summertime fabric, and C&J Harvard loafers in black calf.

Great look. This is the most serious that you’ve appeared here.

Singing an updated version of the old Ray Charles song in my head, "Delta, Delta on my mind..."

Niece took a bunch of pics but none with a smile came out!

The pose is ok….

But the fit on that balloon fabric sport coat with those Rota is ??

Good evening, gentlemen.
