Cushwa Basin parking's likely to be crowded. There's a smaller lot a bit downstream by the lockhouse, but I've never checked it out so I don't know how crowded it gets. That is a nice ride, though, so I could be willing to brave the crowds at the beginning/end. The other option would be to drive a bit further and meet at Fort Frederick.
Janice, how long does it take you to drive to my house (just to estimate your total driving time)?

"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."

Probably about 20-25 minutes.

Then Ft Fred would be at the max end of your time limit. Shall we go for Cushwa Basin in Williamsport, then? I still haven't checked out the new museum that opened there this summer.
Zen, when you rode to Ft Fred, did you ride around the park at all? Or up along next to Big Pool?Last edited by Kalidurga; 08-28-2008 at 06:00 PM.

Well, if y'all feel like it, we'll have to ride around a bit. Ft Fred's a nice little park. And you can check out the camping facilities

You'll have to tell me where we're meeting exactly. Or Tam, do you want to ride with me?

If we can squeeze my bike on with the Xtracycle, I can ride with you. Want to meet at my place 8:45-ish?
I need to remember to clean my bike before Sunday morning. It's a dusty mess from my last towpath ride
