July 4th ride??

**Kalidurga** · 06-22-2009, 09:21 AM

Anyone interested? I'm thinking the best way to beat the crowds (during the day, at least) is by being part of one

Yes, I'd be up for that. I've got no plans for the day. July 3 would be fine, too, for those of us who have the day off.

Let me see if I can get off that day

where were you thinking of going?
Towpath or road?

**ny biker** · 06-22-2009, 12:37 PM

I would love to join you guys! But I'll be out of town. Maybe next time.

**Kalidurga** · 06-22-2009, 12:40 PM

I was going to wait and see what other folks were in the mood for. I could do either. Or even Rosaryville, though for some reason that I can't figure out I've been feeling nervous about doing that this year. Probably because of my "fall down go boom" on the towpath last month

I think I'm going to be out of town

**divingbiker** · 06-22-2009, 02:15 PM

If it's not muddy, I'd like to get out on the towpath.

**Kalidurga** · 06-22-2009, 03:33 PM

It was quite muddy yesterday and I, of course, forgot my fenders. Maybe I'll leave my bike dirty just for you, DB

Well, my fendered bike is clean as a whistle! I should take a picture for you. I just had a tuneup, and I got a new cassette and chain, and they took the drive train apart and soaked it in some superduper cleaning solution. So it's gorgeous! That will last till the first rainy commute, or a muddy towpath ride.

I was thinking Antietam then I was thinking maybe not the best holiday for that due to crowds/traffic.

**HillSlugger** · 06-23-2009, 05:44 AM

I might be able to do something either the 3rd or 4th. I do need to get in a ride on the tri bike that weekend since it will be my last chance before my tri on the 12th.

I almost went there this past Sunday. As things turned out, that probably would've been the better decision.

Wow, it's going to be tough to plan this ride now. Velonews just announced that the TdF coverage on VS is going to begin at 8:30am...

So, any preferences on where/when that day?

**Zen** · 06-24-2009, 05:11 PM

Is there a list of options?
Are we doing this the 3rd or the 4th?
If it's the 3rd I'm still leaning toward Antietam (or Gettysburg)

**Possegal** · 06-24-2009, 05:27 PM

I would be game for something on the 3rd. The fourth I may not know until right before. I was invited to a party back home, very extended family (their great grandfather and mine were brothers, kinda neat, wouldn't mind meeting them) but am not sure yet that I am going. If I'm in town, I'd be up for the 4th. But either way I could do the 3rd. Though if it isn't road bike friendly, you all may just push me over that very little edge to go buy the new bike I was looking at last week.
