    ah well, I looked... Now I know where to find the 3rd covered bridge. Hadn't found it yet, had just happened across the other 2.

    Anytime I'm biking around there and there's some road with Bridge in the name or a road that has a limited payload or height sign for a bridge, I take it and hope I find the 3rd.

    Grazie again. 33 miles is good.

    If you want company, let me know when you're going to be doing it. I'll pop some caffeine, throw on some dirty clothes & come with.

    Well, if you didn't have paddling plans for this Saturday, I'd say then. A ride of this sort I can easily squeeze in before the party I'm going to.

    How about the 27th or 28th, the weekend after this one? I'll be popping my Endurabolic supplement instead of caffeine and wearing clean clothes, but I won't be showered.

    Anyone else interested?

    If I didn't have to be in Virginia for my niece's birthday party, I'd do the paddling another day & bike - but paddling gives me something else to do in Virginia, and I think I'll paint my Mom's house on Sunday (my brother in law pressure washed all the flaking paint off it a few weeks ago and never came back to put paint back on it?). 'cause houses with paint are good.

    I could duck out of work early on Friday if you could do it in the afternoon.

    Let me check when my aunt & cousin are coming in from Scotland - I have to hang out with them on weekends when they're here and I thought that was end of June.

    I don't actually caffeinate before rides, makes me have to pee, which can get awkward. If I need energy, I've got caffeinated cliff shot blocks.

    Nope, working this Friday. I haven't been able to get many weekdays off lately.

    I pee as many times as I can before I get on the bike, and won't hesitate to stop if I find an appropriate place along the ride. I won't hesitate to stop for a lot of other reasons, too, as the other ladies here can tell you

    Cycling, paddling... house painting?? I'm beginning to get the feeling that you're way more energetic than I am.

    Oh, I think you've noticed I'm more than happy to stop & take some pictures


    And as for energetic, not really, I'm mostly kinda lazy.

    Actually, I realized I'll only be free on the 27th or the 28th. A friend's coming down from Philly to visit on one or the other of those two days.

    I can ride this coming Saturday as long as I'm home between 3:00 - 4:00pm.

    Well, how about Sunday, then? I was going to attempt a multi-sport day up at Fort Frederick on Sunday, but I could put that off until another time if that day works better for both of y'all to do the covered bridge thing.
