I love the graph. And the real ride story---it's nice to solve a problem, huh?

forty five miles on the WMRT
The thing I'm pleased about more than the distance is the fact that I managed to stave off any cramping by riding smart.
When i got that heavy-legged prelude to a cramp feeling I stopped for shot bloks and gatorade. We also stretched at rest stops, something I usually don't do.
Here's the elevation graph-

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

There was an adolescent bear in Frederick not long ago.
In town!
I thought for a minute that I did see a bear but it turned out to be an overweight black lab
There is information posted at the trailheads on what to do if you see a bear.
What's holding up the extension is a protected species of bat making their home in the tunnel. I guess they have to provide an alternative roosting place, I don't know.Last edited by Zen; 09-10-2008 at 07:08 AM.
