dingster, the Bike Doctor is less than a mile from Value City. If you get off 270 at exit 31A and head north on 85, the Bike Doctor is in the Evergreen shopping center on the left. It's the same shopping center as Gold's Gym, Common Market and Burger King, right before you get to Wal-Mart. Here's a map. Very easy to get to, which is why I've been going there so much lately.
Velobambina, this would be way outside the Beltway, but it's oh, so pretty out by Harper's Ferry. The river and mountains are just gorgeous. It could be a terrific day trip!

Well, that's almost tempting...

Oh, I didn't notice the start time. I plan to be on the road by about 8...I've got to get a couple of longish road rides in this weekend if I have any chance of doing a century in two weeks.
hijack--Tam, I did the fitting with Tom last night. I'm getting smaller, narrower handlebars (Salsa Poco 38s) and a shorter, slightly higher stem. He has to order the parts so I won't make the changes till after Cycle Across Maryland. I also got a new pair of shoes, which are noticeably stiffer. And I got some Rock and Roll lube.

Yes, I am glad I've found someone who doesn't seem to mind starting a ride at a time of morning when I'm fully coherent
Well, Zen, it might be just you and me, after all."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.

Questions.
Hi,
Sounds like fun. Here are some questions --- sorry to be so anal.
1. Is the C&O Canal paved?
2. What's the total mileage of the ride? (I know you've put some mileage, but I was unclear if the first one was driving distance to the ride start) - Can you tell I don't ride out there much.
3. Is it possible to meet at the ride start instead of Bike Doctor?
4. What approx. speed are you ladies riding?
THANKS! 11am is the perfecto start time - I have puppy duty in the morning.
