    Alright, I put you ladies in the calendar. I'm with Kalidurga on this one about being coherent, conversational, and speedy that early. I prefer later but if you guys say 8 am I'll be there.

    Would 3:00 or 4:00pm work for everyone? Or is that too close to dinner-time for a 25 mile ride?

    It's been so hot these past few days, 3 or 4 might be too warm.
    How about the happy medium of 8:30?

    I'm more partial to 9:00 AM or 10:00 AM but again I'll meet whenever you all like.

    Two things to bear in mind: We're planning a ride for a month from now, so there's no telling what the weather will be like. And, most of the W&OD out that way is shaded, so it's a tad cooler along the trail. Maybe we should wait until a bit closer to that weekend to decide on a start time.

    It's very easy. You can hop across either White's Ferry or Route 15 and head straight into Leesburg (I think that's where we decided to meet...). Depending on when we decide to meet, perhaps we could meet somewhere and you can follow me.

    I guess it's time to re-begin the debate over the meeting time Zen's premonition was right, it is apparently gonna be stinkin' hot this weekend, but to get down to Va by 8:30a.m. is a heck of a stretch for me. I dunno about you ladies, but I hate having to set my alarm clock on my day off. Could we either make it a bit later in the a.m., or do late afternoon instead? The good thing about the heat, though, is that perhaps the trail will be less crowded.
