    There are some areas near WRP to park.

    You can park at the Magruder's/CVS plaza on Kemp Mill.
    The trail is just behind their plaza....to the right is Wheaton Regional Park, to the left, you cross University Blvd. and head on into Silver Spring and beyond.

    Folks also park at the lot on Sligo Creek Parkway at the intersection of University Blvd.

    You'd also be welcome to park at our house and ride down Randolph to Kemp Mill to Arcola to pick up the trail (3 miles on road).

    As safe as any other trail or road or route, I suppose.

    I'd love to join you, but I'm going to be at LAB's Bike Summit giving a talk on our office's "success and challenges" regarding bike issues.

    I'm so tempted to play hookie TOMORROW. The day is going to be outstanding for riding ... 63 degrees, sunny, light wind. Were you thinking tomorrow or Thursday?

    Oh, that's right your birthday is on Thursday. That's a great way to celebrate ... going on a nice scenic ride. Can't join you on Thursday, but I wish you a happy and enjoyable day.

    Happy Birthday, MDHill Slug!!!

    I think you're no-rain dance worked (at least for the a.m.).
    Enjoy your ride.
    Have a great day!
