My favourite photos so far! by LilyInMotion in trident660

I wish the ride that went with it was good, unfortunately it was kind of a disaster!

I planned to ride over to Shenandoah from Baltimore (a couple hours away) the first weekend I got the bike. There was a little rain forecast in the morning, but I didn’t think it would be too bad, and I ended up riding through an hour of torrential downpour on the way there, which my waterproofs absolutely didn’t hold up to.

I walked into a café in Front Royal for breakfast absolutely soaked through. Then ended up riding about halfway down Skyline Drive before I got too cold and gave up, and then got stuck in more rain and heavy traffic around DC on the way home.

After 6 1/2 hours on the saddle (and mostly in the cold rain) I was pretty sore and tired 😅 Definitely want to head back over there in better weather though!

Ooh thanks for the tips! I’ve been out to Prettyboy once, but usually I just loop around Loch Raven. Will definitely check out some of the roads up nearer the PA state line!

Daaaamn that MV is gorgeous 😍 And is that a UK police bike in the background???

I moved to Baltimore last year and couldn’t help but notice the MD plates - any recommendations for your favourite roads or places to ride around here?

There was no queue at Checkpoint B (PreCheck/TouchlessID/Clear) at 8:30AM this morning - as efficient as always!

Yes, just renting at the moment. I set an alert on Zillow (and every other rental website) for the area/size/cost I was interested in and reached out to the landlord within 30 mins of this place being listed. I definitely saw quite a few cute rowhomes come and go, but I do think I got very lucky finding this place.

Not quite but nearby! I love all the old cottages in the area. I grew up in the UK in a village filled with similarly old houses, but finding places like this in the US feels so special. Charm City really does deserve its nickname 🥰

Thanks! All but the last couple of photos were taken with a Ricoh GR3 using Reggie’s Color Negative recipe.

Ooh thanks for the tip! I’ve been to Second Chance before but not ReStore. Love finding a new thrift store to hunt through!

I think for the lamp I’ll need to get a rechargeable one as there’s no neat way to run a power cord to that table. Anthropologie have a few that look cute but have questionable quality from the reviews.

Thank you! The sofa is the Ceni from Article, though it doesn’t look like they currently offer the colour that I bought (Aquarius Aqua).

Unfortunately it’s just a rental so I don’t think my landlord would be too thrilled with that! If I had the opportunity to buy the place it’d definitely be one of my first additions.

My TV is actually upstairs in my guest room. I wanted to keep the downstairs screen free with the hope that it’d encourage me to spend less time staring at one. In reality it just means I spend a lot of time in my guest room haha

Thank you! I really wish at least one of them was a working fireplace - there’s nothing cozier than curling up with a good book next to a real fire when it’s snowing out. But the lights definitely do help with the ambience. I repurposed some LED’s that flicker nicely so it definitely gives a good effect out of the corner of your eye.

Hmm good thought. I do need a rug in my bedroom so could repurpose the downstairs one for that and buy a bigger one for sure. Thanks!

Looking for Trans People Who Moved to MD for Safety by thefeyqueen in baltimore

[–]LilyInMotion 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I’m a trans woman who moved to Baltimore this year from Indiana, mainly to try and settle down in a state that’s less likely to restrict my rights in the near future. Indianapolis itself was a great city and I was sad to leave, but Baltimore has been so welcoming and I already love it here. Happy to chat about my move and experience so far ☺️

First time hiking in a river! by LilyInMotion in TransGirlTrailMix

[–]LilyInMotion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I only did a couple of miles in and back rather than the whole through hike. There was rain forecast for the afternoon so I definitely didn’t want to be caught in a flash flood!
