Nicole, you are officially the RouteSlip Queen! And, no, it doesn't seem as if you're taking over anything. It's great that you're so quick with the route plotting, so we're able to see all of our options so easily. (Though RouteSlip seems to be having problems loading this evening...)

We met last weekend just after 9:30 and began riding a bit before 10:00 am, right? We ended up doing just shy of 28 miles and finished between 12:30 and 1:00. A similar schedule would probably work fine for the 19th. I'm not sure yet what I'm doing with the family. (You think planning this ride has been tough? Try planning something with my parents ) I did already tell them that I was most likely going riding in the morning, though. So, I guess I'm back in.

Catherine, where in NE does your friend live? Can she at least meet you at your place?

Regina, you should have seen the cute young guy I met over the summer who was riding his 'bent along the C&O towpath out past Hancock, MD. He was part of a group riding all the way from Seattle to DC to raise awareness for a cause that my sieve-brain has forgotten. He was the only 'bent rider in the group, but he sure changed the way I look at those bikes
