I'd be interested, but I joined an MS150 team, and we are planning a ride that day, if the weather is decent!!! I'm tired of this freezing weather!!!

Sigh.
Okay. My NOAA experience is fish, not weather!
(off topic - did you read Mark Trail in today's Sunday comics? At least he's a NOAA fan!)
I shared a chair today (was skiing at Liberty) with a teacher from Clarksburg who was saying *she* heard 12" on tuesday.
Trusty weather.com says "too soon to tell."
Maybe it'll be mostly rain/sleet/mix, and it'll be gone by the 19th. Right???
Not gonna toss the crystal ball just yet.
Keeping the hope alive for a monday ride. I, too, Nicole, haven't ridden outside since our January jaunt. However, I have gotten a bit better on the rollers.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

I may not be "allowed" to do a Monday ride. We'll have to watch the weather and I may have to manage the home front, too.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Looks like my warming trend won't hit until Tuesday (temps approaching 50 next week).
Anyone still up for this on Monday?
I don't know if it'll warm up enough to actually melt this stuff - and if it does, what off-road conditions would be like (thinking C&O canal here).
Perhaps the Peach Tree Loop from Riley's Lock? http://www.bikewashington.org/routes...tree/index.htm
Conditions look to favor cyclocross and hybrid bikes.....
An option, of course, is to do this on the 24th, but I'm not sure if I myself am going to be around next weekend...2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

If you do the Peach Tree Loop on Monday, you may want to make sure the roads aren't still icy. Unless you're feeling particularly daredevil-ish
I was thinking about hiking the Seneca Greenway Trail this weekend. If I do, I'll try to drive around that area and post a road condition report for you guys before Monday morning."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."

Yeah, this weekend is looking too cold and I think that Monday is out for me. I would be up for next weekend, weather permitting.
