Mid-Atlantic cycling events for 2013
Two signs that spring is just around the corner: the sun is setting after 5:00 pm again, and the folks at the Oxon Hill Bike Club have started to update their website's Bicycling Events page for the new year.
It's not complete yet, but always fun to peruse so you can start planning.

A couple of rides to note:
The Ride to End Hunger in Calvert County (Maryland) on April 27 is always a fun ride through a beautiful area.

Paul's Ride for Life, also on April 27, starts in Reston, VA and benefits the Washington Regional Transplant Community.

The Six Pillars Century on May 4 takes place mostly in the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, which I know is a popular destination for many folks here.

The Capital to Capital Bike Ride starts in either Richmond or Williamsburg on May 11.

They've only posted rides through May so far, but I'm sure there will be more good ones added soon for the rest of the year.
