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.

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

If she's going to see New Orleans, she only has 1 month. Unless someone else wants to come and show her around.

, I'm out of here sometime the week of Aug 29. After that I'll be part of the PNW TE gang.
