So, Tam....does the Paw Paw echo? And...can you scream the entire length of it?????
Deb, any idea what they were working on? Just general maintenance? And, did you use a flashlight?

"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. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

No, not obvious what they were working on. I didn't use a flashlight. But it was freaky without one. Originally Posted by Kalidurga

Hi everyone, Zen alerted me to this ride. Would anyone be willing to let me carpool with them? I live in the Georgetown area.

Sure, I can pick you up at a metro station somewhere along the way. Maybe Grosvenor? I've got a bike rack so that's no issue.

I looks like we've settled on Saturday July 12 as the ride date and it looks like we're planning to carry our lunch and eat somewhere on route. We still need to decide which section of the canal we will ride. I've only ever ridden the section from Rileys Lock to Whites Ferry, so I'd like to start further up towards Zen.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

The starting point and destination depends on how far you guys are willing to drive and to parking availability. I'm partial to the Williamsport to Fort Frederick choice simply because of parking availability at Wmspt.
I'll think on it some more.2008 Trek FX 7.2/Terry Cite X
