Safer Driving in Maryland

This isn't about running but I wanted to share what our family is doing to make the roads safer.  Most are posted on Nathan's Facebook page.

I'm proud of my wife, Susan, and son, Elliot for their advocacy.

Our purpose

We are a small group of men who are diverse in many respects but who share the common interests of running and riding. We set aside one evening a month for an easy 5 and camaraderie at a local pub. There we catch up, offer unsolicited advice, commiserate, joke, encourage, congratulate and plan for the next big ride or run. We usually meet the first Monday of the month in the Waldo area of Kansas City, MO.
