    I guess if you can't find a place right away you can always set up in that box of yours

    Hope to meet you soon.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    DC and the surrounding area are great places to ride bikes. Pick up a copy of the ADC Bike Map for the DC region. Check out Potomac Pedalers (bikepptc.org) and Oxen Hill Bike Club (ohbike.org). They have in-town rides, mountain bike rides, and road rides farther afield.

    Not much snow, though. If that's really important to you, I doubt you'll stay long. Kayaking is great, however.

    Welcome to DC. I live in Foggy Bottom and generally ride out through Gtown to do most of my DC area riding. A popular route is to head up MacArthur into Maryland. From there, you can do a short loop, hill repeats, or a variety of long rides around Poolesville or out to Sugarloaf. There are a bunch of clubs in the area. Some of the more race-oriented clubs also have plenty of members who just do the group rides and don't race. Every day at lunchtime or in the evenings you'll find a bunch of people doing laps down at Hains Point (East Potomac Park), which is fairly easy to get to from Georgetown even during high traffic times on the trails. I don't much like the traffic in DC, and I prefer to ride out in the country when I get the chance, but it's not too bad if you time things well.

    Hey Madeline-
    you should try to get with someone and come up this way to ride the civil War Century on September 8!
    I signed up for the 50 along with MD Hill Slug and I think DivingBiker is doing the 25.
    Tam?
