So far, we have two votes for Sunday, October 15, so I'll add mine and make it three. Hey Suzanne, I haven't seen tulip on the forum recently, do you think she'd be interested?
I personally like getting on the towpath farther out west, but Carderock and Great Falls are the closest to the Beltway which could be more convenient if anyone comes from Virginia. Riley's Lock, which divingbiker mentioned, is definitely a nice spot and shouldn't be crowded with boaters/jetskiers by mid-October. Any other suggestions?

I'll put it on my calendar. I'm all for starting farther out -- the less crowded the better. I'm sure that once Tulip sees this, she'll want to come if she isn't too busy. If I'm not mistaken, she'll be doing the Seagull, too.

I don't think my road bike can handle this.
Let me know when you want to do an TE/DC area road ride!
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

There's been a lot of discussion on the other forum regarding this ride, and it's wavered from this, to a road ride, to a non-riding social event.
Are we thinking 1 event, 2 events, or all 3 (I'd be up for all three myself, if I could make them. Any time I can get to ride bikes or talk bikes is a good time for me!)?
Is this October 15th ride still in the works for the C&O?? Hope so.

I've still got 10/15 on my calendar for a C&O ride. We just have to decide where we want to meet and what time.
I'm definitely also up for a non-riding get-together. Would a thread for that be more appropriate here or in Off-Topic?
Oh, and Regina- Happy birthday tomorrow

Well, it's the 17th (Sunday) but Thanks!
I'd say let's keep the discussion here in the Regional section so we're not searching all over for it. One stop shopping.
Whadaya think?

Y'all haven't noticed by now that I'm calendar-challenged?
