Hmmm, how long do you think it will take to ride, DB? Allow a half hour for lunch, 25 miles at 11 mph...I'd say a three hour ride and an hour to get home.
So, Zen, is this the right place? Shall we plan to park under the bridge or in the commuter lot?

Take I-270 North to Frederick.
At Frederick, follow Route 340 South toward Harpers Ferry
After about 10 miles on Route 340, take the Route 17 Exit for Brunswick.
Route 17 will bear right at a traffic light.
Upon entering the town, follow the traffic circle almost all the way around. Exit at "A-Street"
Once on "A-Street", bear to the right and cross over both sets of railroad tracks.
The towpath access point is directly under the Route 17/287 bridge (you can't miss it!)
Parking is available under the bridge, or back in the large commuter lot located between the railroad tracks.

Your timing sounds about right. If it would help, Nicole, we could get started riding by about 9:30 probably (if we leave at 8; Mapquest says it will take about 1:10 to get there.) So that would put you home around 2ish.
