Nicole and I did the Peach Tree Loop (recommended by Regina) in western Montgomery County, MD. It was my first road ride and my first ride with so many hills, and I have to say that I'm quite impressed with how well Nicole handled all my whining on the hillsSeriously, though, she was a very encouraging and a great riding partner.
After one wrong turn and one missed turn (we both forgot to bring a cue sheet), we ended up just shy of 28 miles. I'm looking forward to doing the route again, though it may take me all winter to recuperate.
Oh, and Nicole: You may have to think of a new forum nickname. After today's ride, I think I qualify for the title of "MD Hill Slug" more than you do

"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."
