May 2007 TE-DC ride...?

[Kalidurga]

Yup, Janice, very accurate classifications. I'll push myself occassionally, but more often than not I'm trying to enjoy the scenery as well as pedal, so I haven't put much effort into increasing my average speed. As long as we meet up periodically, I'm perfectly happy to watch everyone else recede in the distance

Fa8th637, definitely try to join us. We've got a relaxed, "no-drop (well, not entirely)" policy and I'm sure you'd find your place somewhere.

How about Sunday, 5/20?

Well, it's a tad more than 2 pounds!
As long as we're all in agreement with the goals of the ride, I am pretty flexible about how I ride. I'm certainly not an "all speed all the time" kinda rider.
May 20th should be okay.
Casual on-road ride? Re-group at set points? Tam's route?
Time? Everyone's welcome! As Tam said, we all find our spot.
And, most importantly, lunch afterwards??

[HillSlugger]

Considering I push myself hard the other 3 Sundays, a more laid back ride once a month is always welcome (sorry I missed the last one ).

May 20 sounds good. Lunch afterwards also sounds good. Start before 10am?

Remember, on the Mt Nebo climb it's every rider for themselves, with a definite regrouping afterwards

Edit to add:

BTW, who wants to join me for a 40 mile ride to get me ready for my 50 mile Diabetes ride? I guess it would need to be May 27 or June 3.

9:30-10am on 5/20 works for me, for a casual (and I'm using that term subjectively) spin along either my route or any other through that area. If we start at Riley's, where do we want to have lunch? There are several good places at the Kentlands in Gaithersburg, if that's convenient for everyone on their way home. Or do we want to start in Poolesville and have lunch at Bassett's?

Re: Mt. Nebo- Good call. Y'all just be patient on the other side

[F8th637]

Thanks for the reassuring words, ladies. I will definitely consider it!

Your 40 mile route goes right by my old house in Bethesda. Give it a wave for me when you go by -corner of Bradley & Fernwood.

I notice your Bikely routes are metric. Is there a way to change to miles?

[7rider]

Bah!
This is what happens when I try to maintain multiple calendars.
On May 20th, I have to be in Alexandria at 1 p.m., so I don't think I will have time to be at Riley's Lock for a 10 a.m. ride (much less stay for lunch! )
Bummer. So, I may try for an early ride around my house, but I'll have to pass on the group ride.
Enjoy and I'll join you for the June ride.

[HillSlugger]

Would it be possible for us to do this ride on the 13th or 27th instead? I forgot that I'm doing the ride-to-work on the 18th and Joe's Ride on the 19th and I like to have a day off each weekend for rest and family. If it needs to be the 20th I'll still try to make it but it will require "special permission"

Thanks!

I thought I had the default as miles. Anyhoo, there's a radio button you should be able to click to change it to miles.

withm, the button Nicole mentioned is in the explore/welcome frame that allows you to choose km or mi. It should be down below the arrows that you use to navigate through the route.

Nicole, I think the 13th was nixed because it's Mother's Day. I've got family visiting over Memorial Day weekend, so I can't do that day. (What's with all the holidays/special days in May, anyway?) Do we want to postpone this until June?
