Maybe you can drive partway or take the metro and carpool with the Montgomery County contingent. Hate to see you have a wreck because you start hyperventilating on 270...Originally Posted by Velobambina
Frederick is a hike for me, and yes, I readily admit to being a big baby who hates driving outside the beltway.That said, I would love to attend and meet everyone. If my schedule permits, I'll try to make it.

That would be great! I'd be glad to contribute fork over some $$$ for petrol (anything to keep me off 495 & 270). Originally Posted by divingbiker

I'll pass on both the strip club and the tattoo. But it looks like December 14 is the day. Now we just have to figure out where we're going...

No responses yet over at the Frederick forum. I'm assuming that we want to stay within the historic district, so here are a few options:
Here are brunch menus for Acacia and Firestone's. I've never eaten at either but have heard both are good.
Cafe Nola, which is a very hip coffee shop/cafe/bar, apparently also has brunch. I've had lunch there a few times and it's been fairly good. They have good tea and I've heard that their coffee is excellent (Illy brand).
There are also places like Brewer's Alley and Isabella's that do very good lunch, if we wanted to shop first, then eat.
If anyone wants to end up on the table, I'd suggest Firestone's or Brewer's Alley. And there are three (three!!) tattoo parlors up at the top of the historic district. Strip joints would require driving, though there is an adult video/magazine shop up near the tattoo parlors
"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."

I can check around at work and see what's recommended for Sunday brunch downtown (I have no idea). I'm usually in Virginia on Sundays, so I'm not sure whether I'll be able to make it or not.
