Well, my original post was for a July 4th ride in order to get out and not deal with the crowds as a solo rider. I'm working on the 3rd, but if that's the date you all prefer then I'll catch ya the next time around.

"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."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com
Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

Oh don't change anything on my account! I still may be able to make a ride on the 4th. I'll keep checking this thread and join you all if I can. Go back to the original planning, didn't mean to confuse anything.

What's Rt.34/Sheperdstown Pike like relative to road riding? Good shoulder? I may have to take a drive.
I'm thinking Rt. 40 W to L on Rt. 66/Mapleville Road to Boonsboro then R on Rt.34/Sheperdstown Pike.
Don't know how far it is.2008 Trek FX 7.2/Terry Cite X

The Richmond Area Bicycling Association (RABA) and the Northern Neck Bicycle Club are having a joint ride in the Northern Neck starting in Lancaster County, Virginia and going to Reedville (nice port) for ice cream. About 53 miles, I think.
Great ride for anyone headed to the Northern Neck for the weekend. It's on July 3rd (due to Farmers Market/Parade happenings in the start town of Irvington). More info at raba.org.
