October 1 Rides

Regina, where's the "triathlon loop"?

And... 43 miles in 2:40??!! I think we need to compare everyone's average speed before our C&O ride on the 15th. Or will the Seagull leave you pooped enough that you won't smoke us all on the towpath?

Lisa, I wish you had been around today. I came close to losing a finger when I tried to pick up that snapper this afternoon!

Ahhh, but that's on an 18 pound road bike chasing my DH who's not very chatty. When I'm on a 28 pound mountain bike with people I can talk to, things will be very different! Fear not. But...I may not be able to do the C&O ride after all. Check out the regional posting I just put up.

The "triathalon loop" starts (for us) going up New Hampshire Ave to Ednor to 216 heading north/west, becomes Highland, around 10 Oaks onto Linthicum, left onto Tridelphia which becomes Tridelphia Mill Rd, back to Highland and right on Brighton Dam Rd and ultimately back to New Hampshire. I probably missed a few details, but it's a nice, if hilly, route. There is a bike group that has cue sheet routes that start at the Cloverly Safeway, so that seems to be a good starting point for folks.
