    SheGotBike! was like that too.
    I let them know, we'll see if they listened.

    I think I was still unemployed at the time of registration for this ride. Sorry I missed it, it sounds great.

    You guys have to do the Tour de Madison.
    Or CAM. Or CWC.
    I'll be there signing autographs

    Considering that this was only my second organized ride and I did a shorter route, I didn't have the same issues as Regina and Janice. Despite that, though, I think the only other ride I'm going to do this year is Tour du Port in B'more (which is apparently scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 18th, if anyone else is interested ). These rides are fun, but not necessarily something I'd want to do frequently. Just too many people in one place for me.

    Guess I'll have to get your autograph some other way, Mo.

    I forgot one other opportunity- SheGotBike!
    Once you get out on the road with me there will be no one else around (maybe the SAG wagon )

    You should join me for a Shepherdstown/Antietam ride some day this summer, Mo. There's ice cream (or tea!) in Shepherdstown, and chocolate chip cookies (just like my mom used to make) in Sharpsburg

    We might should start a separate thread for that idea I like it.
    And/Or a Gettysburg tour.

    just to chip in, I am signing up to do the Seagull century (pray for no hurricanes) this fall for Team in Training. I will be riding in honor of a friend's father who died about a month ago.

    I've got a couple different routes for each of those areas. Gotta give me some time to get out there and make sure I can still handle the hills, though, before I tackle it with another person along
