I'm in Arlington and could have ridden w/you :-) Do you ride much on the W&OD? I'm pretty much a "lone wolf" about riding, although sometimes my husband comes along with me. There are days were I would love some company, though. Maybe we can ride together some time?
Again, CONGRATS!!!!
I did the Between the Waters Bike Tour (http://www.cbes.org/events_biketour.htm) on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. It was about 75 miles south of Salisbury, where the Seagull is. I, too, was going to do the Seagull and let that be my first century but also backed out because of the weather (got the Tshirt in the mail yesterday though!). I'd highly recommend the Between the Waters. It was a very small group of riders, about 750 of them, split among 20-, 40-, 60- and 100-mile options. So all in all, there were probably only about 300 people riding the century. It made it all very manageable. Weather was good. Well, not good, but fine. They had called for rain and thunderstorms, so I had rain gear with me, but the early morning was just foggy, then it was sunny and blue skies for a while. The whole afternoon was overcast and a little breezy but the rain stayed away the entire time so I counted myself lucky.

Would love to ride with you sometime. I usually do the W&OD as well.
