TE-DC Fall Multisport Day

Here's a proposal:

Mountain biking at beginner-friendly Cedarville State Park (easier than Rosaryville)

Kayaking/canoeing at Jug Bay

Picnic lunch

Possible dates:

Saturday, September 18
Sunday, September 19
Saturday, October 2
Sunday, October 3

If you need a kayak or canoe, one can be provided.

Anybody up for this?

Since I don't mtn bike and don't know where Jug Bay is, I have to say no.

I've got a wedding for the Sept dates - I know October's pretty booked, but I can't remember right now which particular weekends. I'll have a bike & kayak at the Wild Goose chase on the 16th - which seems like it's going to end up a bit of a TE get together.

Jug Bay's on the Patuxent, south of the route 4 (Pennsylvannia ave) bridge. It's a beautiful area. You (Zen) should join for the paddle at least.

Sept. 18th is good for me, the Oct. dates are good, too. I have a Century ride on Sept. 19th. I'd like to do the multi-sport day.

My computer tells me that site has a poor reputation and that I should not go there.

Jug Bay

Don't go to Saki's - if you do, your reputation might be sullied.

Smart ask.
I did google Jug Bay but it took me to a porn site.

That's way too far for me. I'll wait for the GC

I hope it was quality porn at least.

The Oct dates are no good for me (I'll be tri'ing at the Osprey on the Eastern Shore). I would need to borrow a kayak and paddle and PFD. If it's easier than Rosaryville I imagine I can ride it on my commuter with its knobby tires, right?

Nicole, I rode Cedarville on my 'cross bike and the only problem I had (aside from general rider clumsiness) was one section full of tree roots. The rest was quite nice.

I could do Sat, 9/18. And I could possibly do Sat, 10/2 if we keep it easy, since I'm doing Tour du Port on 10/3 and will be driving to Baltimore at the crack of dawn (Cat, did you decide whether you're doing that?)

I did Rosaryville on my Coda so this sounds doable.

Ok, how about we plan on Saturday, September 18? Looks like 7, kali, mdhs, kmehr, and I can do it then.

Then some of us will also meet up in October at the goose chase.

Ok with everyone?

This is ok with me. What time do we want to get started, since we're multi-sporting?
