Cycle Across Maryland 2008

**divingbiker** · 02-18-2008, 06:17 AM

I just registered for Cycle Across Maryland, which will be held at Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg on July 24-27.

Last year I met a great group of women and had a ball...and did my first (and last) century. Anybody else going to be there?

hmmm, you got me thinking, as I have no events planned for July...

You know I will. It's right in my backyard!

Interesting.
The second day would certainly be good training for the Civil War Century in September!
Is it a straight line ride, or do all rides start and end from MSM?

If they do it like they've done it in the past, the rides start and end at the college.

I noticed on the website that this is the last year that One Less Car is sponsoring Cycle Across Maryland. I wonder who, if anyone, will do it in the future.

I would LOVE to do this! It sounds like a wonderful ride and lots of fun. Unfortunately I think I am supposed to be in Bal'more (Hon) for a week-long training 25 - 28. I won't find out for sure for a couple months.

I have an empty apartment and one nice air mattress if you don't want to stay at the dorm. sleeps up to six but only one shower. No ac or tv. Hey, it's free.
17 miles away. http://maps.google.com/maps?client=f...l&hl=en&tab=wl

hmmm... maybe I could do one day - I hope to spend a couple weeks in Michigan christening the new house - it's supposed to be finished "in July." Framing starts in a couple weeks. I'm very excited! Emmitsburg is more or less on the way so maybe I'll ride one day, then continue on the trip west.

Registration complete!
Those are going to be some really nice rides.

Methinks Janice is in the 8 hour AL per PP, yes??

That's cool...so am I.
I sent the link to Tom. I may be up for it. I've got a 400 mile goal in July, and this would go a long way towards helping me reach it.

I have absolutely no idea what this means.

8 hours of annual leave per pay period.
Hmm.
Guess not.

Ahh, yes, you're right, I do get 8AL/PP. I just wasn't in a work mindset when reading this so I was trying to figure out what bike abbreviations those were.

I had so much fun as a part of the group of women that divingbiker mentioned that I signed up for 2008, EVEN THOUGH THE COURSE WILL BE FULL OF HILLS! My Eastern Shore conditioning may prepare me for the caving or for the short rides.

It was a lot of fun last year and hopefully, it will be even more fun this year.
