Of course if you stop a lot to birdwatch, those long rides can take all day!
The next two weekends will have lots of racing around Blackwater - so be careful if you are out for a casual jaunt.
On the 3rd is the Blackwater Duathlon - mostly contained to Egypt Road and Maple Dam Road (blech, boring out-and-back routes when there is SO much good riding to be had out there).
On June 10th is the Eagleman Triathlon.
These events will put lots of bike, running, and possibly detoured motor traffic in the area.
