Baltimore tips?

So, withm, did you ride in/around B'more? If so, which route and how was it? Enquiring minds wanna know

Sigh. Well I only had 2 opportunities to ride. Wednesday evening I went out on foot to FIND the trail but got distracted... I did eventually find where I could pick it up but was too intimidated to try it at 6pm on a weeknight. The traffic in that area was frightful. The bike path in the Inner Harbor area is separate from the main road, but has 2 narrow lanes for two-way bike traffic. Then on side streets it changes to just riding on the streets. I did not have a printed copy of the route, or all the turns so I thought Friday I would venture out at noontime and really ride it after stopping at the visitor center for some last minute words of wisdom.

Well Friday came, I was free to ride. But it was raining. Oh well. It was a light rain, but I decided to save that outing for another (sunnier) day. I was really disappointed because I had figured with no time limitations I would attempt to ride the entire length of the trail from one end to the other, and back. Well you know what they say about the best laid plans.

Maybe I can schedule an outing to do this ride in the middle of a weekday so won't have rush hour traffic to deal with, and then go to dinner at Sotto Sopra (sp?) on opera night. That would be my idea of a perfect day.

The trail looks like it would make for a nice ride - at least what parts I found anyway.

Ah, shame you didn't have the chance to give it a go.
