    Hey Regina, swap meet info!

    You may have already found this yourself, but...

    Stop, Swap and Save: February 10, 2008, from 9am to 2pm at the Carroll Cty Ag Center in Westminster, Md.
    "How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
    David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com

    Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

    Thanks for posting the link (even though I'm not Regina, I greatly appreciate it). Might be worth crossing the Potomac and going outside the Beltway.

    I start to hyperventilate when I need to go inside the beltway. I guess for you it's more akin to the inmate who's uncomfortable in the real world after being released from jail.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    LOL. I'm the opposite! I work in Herndon, so I have to venture outside the beltway almost every day.

    I'm either city or country. I hate the 'burbs.

    I rode my MTB on the C&O this am and thought of you MD ladies. This time of year, you get some great views of the Potomac.

    I was completely joking. I also like to joke about having to cross the Potomac into VA under cover of darkness.

    From what I've seen on BikeJournal, there must be almost nothing that stops you from riding. 12,173 miles...wow!

    I knew you were joking.

    We all know the traffic around here. Just going to Tysons from Arlington, even on a weekend, you get stuck in a jam on Rte 66.

    We got Fiona, our golden puppy, from a breeder near Fredericksburg. Picked her up on the first Saturday in October. There was "rush hour" traffic--parking lot--both the way down and the way home.

    I wonder when the WMA growth boom will stop? If it does, will some people leave?

    I guess I should have posted that link before. That and the link to Ride across Maryland which this year is in Emmitsburg!

    My chanting "come to me, come to me" finally worked for something.

    I always thought it was strange that the Ride Across Maryland didn't actually go across the state. I didn't understand that you'd need to do it for many years before you'd actually get across the state.
