Don't forget....
The Oxon Hill Patuxent River Rural Legacy Ride is Saturday June 7th.
See: http://ohbike.org/events/rural_legacy_eflyer.html
I intend to do the metric. It's a really nice ride...anyone gonna be there?
As for the C&O....
The weekend of the 14th I could probably do a ride.
Not the 21st or 28th.

I will be there - not sure yet if I'm doing the metric or 46. I've been having minor knee problems and I don't want to make them major knee problems that could derail my training for the Livestrong ride. So I will probably decide at the last minute, or possibly during the ride itself. But I will definitely be there!

I could possibly come on any of the dates mentioned, provided I can stay at my sister's house. It would be good preparation for the ride in the fall and maybe I can figure out what bike to use. Hybrid with 32s or commuter bike with 28s for the tires? I've decided to swap out my 20" hybrid for the smaller frame, and they should have it in next weekend so I'll be curious to try it out.
Where would the meeting place be to start the ride?

I have a spare apartment you could stay in. I'd even give you a dog for the night. Which one do you want?

Here's a route I'd like to do
http://www.bikewashington.org/routes/antietam/index.htm
About ten miles of it is battlefield (asphalt road). We could add miles toward Harpers Ferry to get more canal mileage.Last edited by Zen; 05-31-2008 at 08:23 PM.

I went to Sharpsburg today and stopped at Battlefield HQ. That battlefield is shadeless and I'd probably want to look at a bunch of stuff that no one else is interested in. I'll do that one by myself.
The canal is very nice up that way. I started from Shepherdstown and went toward Harper's Ferry. Quite a few people out but I wouldn't call it crowded.
I keep waiting for Ranger Tam to chime in here
