    How'd the C&O Canal ride go, ladies? Pictures?

    I know I've been MIA for a while (busy planning my high-school reunion, but it was this past weekend, which is why I couldn't join you all for the ride) and now I have my life back. Did you guys still ride? Any pictures?

    They are riding this week on the Canal. We should get some reports on the weekend. I doubt anyone is hauling a laptop.

    What, no on-the-go blogging?!?

    I'm sure we'll start hearing about it over the weekend.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    I ran into the ladies on the towpath yesterday. We were going to ride through the PawPaw Tunnel together, since I was staying in Cumberland at the same time. Everyone was still alive when I left them at Bill's Place in Little Orleans, but that's all I'm sayin'

    Here's a shot of them "slapping the a-s-s" for good luck on Monday evening, after which DebW and Zen headed to their first campsite and 7rider and divingbiker headed back to their first hotel (l to r- divingbiker, Zen, 7rider, DebW) :



    And 7rider waiting while everyone else is inside getting ice cream, just so you can see the loaded bikes:




    And definitely no on-the-go blogging. There's barely even any cellphone service out thataways.

    They'll definitely have cellphone coverage by tomorrow or Friday. If you've got any of their phone numbers, I'm sure you could make arrangements to meet them somewhere.

    I joined them for the last 20, rode with them to the mile 0 marker, and I left them at the metro station. last I saw they were still alive and have tons of pictures.
