We may be able to get there sooner if my countertop people don't show up at the very end of the 8-10am appointment window.Originally Posted by Cataboo
How would a shuttled trip work? I don't know the area well enough to know where to leave the cars.

No worries,we'll take our time and stop for lattes and pictures.
I know you guys paid probably someone from Blackwater Pedal and Paddle for a shuttle last year.

It looks like there's a 5 mile loop that can be done on the transquaking using a canal dug for that purpose:

There's a 7 mile trip we could do using Bestpitch landing and Island creek landing-

Boo. I'm jealous.
Consider me virtually there!Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

We just did an out and back, no shuttle. Too complicated for me to figure out shuttle logistics. Originally Posted by Cataboo

Well I'm coming over Fri night after work but looking at the forecast, I'm still on the fence on whether I want to load up the kayak. One forecast said wind gusts to 45mph Fri-Sat! Yikes. I'll have to decide soon I guess.
Plan B for Saturday is to go wander up/down Wildlife drive with binoculars and camera. Oh. and shopping

I won't be there this weekend, but I am planning to do a PPTC ride up around Thurmont/Gettysburg and I hate hate hate riding in wind so I've been watching the forecast pretty closely. The only consistent things I'm seeing are (1) they expect sunshine and (2) the other details keep changing.
I think the worst wind gusts will be tomorrow and Saturday will be windy but less bad. Most recent Capital Weather Gang forecast says 10-20 mph gusts on Saturday.
And it's always good to bring hope!!
