    What is karst topography? (Yeah, I could Google it, but I'm wondering why you think it's special enough to suggest it.)

    Roxy, I've done the ride 3 times and while flat sounds nice, it seems the wind blows every direction you turn. You know, that north-south-east-west wind? And with no hills, you HAVE TO PEDAL THE ENTIRE TIME!!! No breaks on the downhills.

    Sorry for the highjack. I love learning about different parts of our country and world through Maidei's travels. What's next? So where is Maidei headed now?

    Just let me know where she's to go next. She's in Maryland now - so maybe going to NE first and then to Ohio from there is the better travel plan?

    I'll post some pictures later this evening. Poor Maidei even got to be a part of a little tumble off my bike, yet again! At least she survived it unscathed.

    I think NE first is better, but I thought she was already en route to P'bgh?

    (In either case, Pittsburgh before Ohio and Ohio before Indiana? Once we get out here we can probably make most of the connections in person.)
