So does this cancel out our CandO ride?
I haven't been to the site yet but it sounds good.

C&O ride is supposed to be on Sunday, b/c DB has her kayak lesson on Saturday. Which brings up another question I'll ask in a thread for the make-up ride.

Hmmm. I had plans to head down to the National Book Festival on Saturday for a Neil Gaiman reading. Now I may have to leave earlier and take my bike...

"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."

After looking more closely at the site, I think I definitely want to do this. The start/finish is close to the Mall, so it'll be a quick pedal down to the Book Fest after the ride's done. Thanks for the info, Regina, I hadn't heard about it.
Anyone else?
Also, I didn't realize Metro's website had a whole section for Bike'n'Ride now. Pretty cool."How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road?

I wish I didn't have the conflict with the kayak lesson. The bike ride sounds fun, especially since the streets are closed.
