    I'm interested in riding your Poolesville route and would be able to do any weekend other than the 9th-10th.

    I don't see an mtb bike in my stable any time soon. I suppose if someone had one to lend me that fit OK I'd consider a ride...

    What is it about biking that make you think always about your next bike? I've always got dreams of race or tri bikes, and if the commuting thing goes well I'd love to trade my hybrid for a flat bar road bike.

    See, that's just why I got the 'cross bike. I will probably never race with it, but it allows me to do all of the riding I do want to do so I have no dreams of another bike (at the moment). I didn't bother to respond to the guys on the Bike Site forum. Thanks for the REI links, F8th637. I never think of them for stuff like this.

    Do we want to try for a road ride on either Saturday 6/16 or Sunday 6/17?

    Glad to help!

    I guess I shouldn't get rid of that hardtail I've got in the shop right now. I was going to donate it and then my husband said he'd ride it. Now I see the benefits of having that one waiting in the wings too.

    I'll consider both those rides.

    I've got family visiting from Nebraska the weekend of June 16-17 so I'll be playing tour guide, but of course that doesn't mean the rest of you can't ride then. I'd love to ride with you if it's any other weekend. I think I'm free on the 23rd for the MTB ride.

    See, everybody needs a basement full of bikes! A road bike, a commuting bike, a hardtail mountain bike, a backup commuting bike, maybe a better road bike, a full suspension mountain bike...where does it end?

    "Thug"??? I'd think "anarchist" or "hippy revolutionary" would sound a little better to most ss/fixie riders

    meh, mountain bikes are too uncomfortable for me. I might be able to do a road ride in late June. Thinking about races on the 17th and the 24th but I'm not sure.
