Maidei goes on a world tour-Part 1 of the Bicycle Mystery Tour

[Crankin]

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?

[Possegal]

Well I can also take her to Pittsburgh the following weekend. (seriously, I need to stay put for a weekend soon!)

I can still take her to Pittsburgh this Sunday.

[Zen]

it's Wednesday evening. You'd never get her in time

Somebody say "dibs"...

[Possegal]

I'm in Germantown, I can pick her up in Frederick county anytime that works for you. She doesn't have to be mailed.

First exciting thing I did was to ride with a giant rabbit on top of a kayak. In the Adventuremobile. WTH?


We went to a campground. It was very pretty and there was a lot of food.








So much food I had to take a nap in the tent


Then we went on a bike ride on the C&O Canal towpath




to Harpers Ferry, West-By-God-Virginia
I wanted to see a train but none came by. Dang.





She made me go to a museum about Lewis and Clarke. Apparently they took some kind of trip and Harpers Ferry is where they started. I was bored


The General Store was interesting


The proprietor was an odd looking fellow, though

By then I was getting tired, so I took one last look at the river
and we pedaled back to Brunswick.

That is just brilliant.

When is she due in San Diego?

It looks like she continues to have a great time in the US - and what a visit she had to the C&O and even made it to a cookout!

We are certainly looking forward to introducing her to Indiana - where there really is more than corn

[OakLeaf]

Beauty!

[bmccasland]

Looked like she's having fun.

And that store proprietor looks like he's tough on shoplifters too!

[Bike Chick]

Man, what a great trip! The river is beautiful and the pictures are awesome! She's a lucky lady.

Catrin, we are going to have to coordinate the Indiana/Illinois leg of this journey, aren't we?

[crazycanuck]

Zen, thanks for the Harpers ferry pics. They bring back heaps of memories of wandering the Eastern Seaboard on me own back in my younger days.

Yep - and thankfully there are enough TE members in our two states that she will get a good "Tour de Illin-diana" hmmmm "Tour de Corn"?

[OakLeaf]

hmmmm "Tour de Corn"?

Oh don't bore Maidei and for heaven's sake don't reinforce the stereotypes all these other people have about our beautiful states!

Yes there are parts that are nothing but corn and soybeans, but all we have to do is ride the opposite direction!

Exactly I think she will enjoy seeing the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and some beautiful hills and karst topography

Hey, don't laugh. There is a charity ride in our area that's called the Tour de Corn http://www.tourdecorn.com/. It's the flatest 100 miles you've ever seen! The only hill is when you go over the levee!
