Any chance we could all arrange the same weekday off? I rode the Mt Vernon trail a lot when I was living in Arlington a decade or so ago. It's wonderful on a quiet day. And, uh, could we wait till after I'm all healed up?

Sam, do you live in Va or Md? Keep an eye on this section of the forum, we arrange fairly frequent group rides on road, trail, downtown, and on the C&O towpath.
