Cool! I always wanted to go to that when I lived up in DC (closer), but somehow I never made it.
Perhaps I shall this year...anybody offering a sofa for the night (reciprocal, of course, in Richmond)? Send me a PM and maybe we can work something out.

Heck, I'll let you have the guest bedroom! I'll be going to SheGotBike so we can carpool. And you know where I live!

OK I tried to register for this tonight but the website is down for maintenance. Story of my life.
Can anyone suggest a motel nearby for Saturday night? It looks like I'll be in Baltimore Tues thru Fri noonish on my company's dime but after that I'm looking for less expensive lodgings. I might be able to stay at my sister's in DC but I think she'll be out of town so might not work. But not being a morning person finding a place to sleep a little closer to Oregon Ridge Sat night would be nice so I don't have to leave her place at 6am...
Then I'm headed back to Delaware afterward.

No idea on motels, but you're welcome to stay at my house if you want. You'd have the same early-morning problem, though. Originally Posted by withm

What are the ride lengths? How hilly?
I'm looking to fill in some riding events for after the triathlon season. I gotta choose between this and the Civil War Century (50 miler).I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

The registration form says the rides are 14, 20, 28, 40, and 56 miles. It was pretty hilly, probably about the same or a bit hillier than the Civil War Century. I've done both the Civil War Century and SheGotBike, and I much prefer SheGotBike. It's just a really nice, fun day. Originally Posted by MDHillSlug

Let me edit that a little--SheGotBike is hillier than the 50 mile ride in the Civil War Century. The century itself is mountainous! Originally Posted by divingbiker

She Got Bike
DB - thanks for the offer. Looks like my sister will be back in town after all so I will go stay there in Chevy Chase for Fri and Sat nights. Then go up Sunday early for the ride. Originally Posted by divingbiker

Looking forward to it.
