[Then we stopped at the Washington Monument to get Maidei's passport stamped. She decided to sunbathe along the wall by the Washington Monument.]
Looks like Maidei got quite a tan along the way.

DB-thanks for the great photos. I love that the Met Branch Trail is open now (finally!). That would have saved me lots of time on my commute when I lived there. I have this odd habit of moving right before things improve drastically. Alas.

Love those pics, divingbiker. She got a great overview of Washington highlights, DC. Old and new stuff. Maybe she's abit tuckered out for now.

I'm having the good fortune of hosting Maidei on her whirlwind world tour. After the driver pulled up and dropped her at my place for a visit, I began showing Maidei my various modes of transportation. She then decided to sit on the Bacchetta Giro and get a sense of the comfort that a recumbent bike has to offer. Maidei's legs were a little too short to take the bike out on her own, so I took her for a spin. Woo Hoo! We had a nice ride, she was upfront and center and had a great view of the Washington & Old Dominion bike trail.
We then scootered around the neighborhood for awhile and planned out tomorrow's ride into Western Loudoun County. Stay tuned for more pics.Specialized Ruby/Selle Italia Flow

Today Maidei and I rode up to Clarke's Gap in W. Loudoun County, VA. We passed by farms, rode the rolling hills, and touched on a little history of the Washington & Old Dominion Rail Trail.
She and I have had a nice visit together. Maidei doesn't like to let the grass grow beneath her feet, so she's wondering where her next destination will be and who'll be her host. Any takers?Specialized Ruby/Selle Italia Flow

What a beautiful countryside ride! I bet she enjoyed the fresh, country air and rolling hills.
If no one closer will take her, send her my way to the Heartland. I'm wanting to show her the Mississippi River!__________________

If she comes to you next, then perhaps she can come to Indiana

Yea, send her up here before she heads west. Maybe Pam can bring her around NYC and then she can go to No No in CT, then up to MA, then Maine. She can head south and west by visiting Bleeker, who could send her on to Ohio?
