The Oxon Hill bike club has begun to post cycling events for 2011:
http://www.ohbike.org/events/index.htm
Included: the Patuxent River Rural Legacy Ride on June 11, Bike Virginia on June 24-29, the Southern Maryland Century/Indian Head 100 on Sept 11, and the Seagull on Oct 15.
The Civil War Century is not yet listed, but will probably be Sept 10 since it usually the day before the Southern Maryland century.
Also not (yet) listed: The Ride to End Hunger in Calvert County will be on April 30, which will be my first goal of the year, and the Tour de Cure in Reston, VA will be June 5. I'm thinking of doing the Tour de Cure this year since I'm not doing the Livestrong Challenge.

I'm sure the list will grow over the next couple of months. I'm psyched!

Wild Goose Chase will be Sunday, Oct. 23 this year. Registration will open in late February. I did this last year with two friends, had a blast, and plan to do it again this year.

Agreed. I think Blackwater's close enough to the DC metro area that many of us can make a day (perhaps a long day) of it and do our own Wild Goose Chase ride....or make a weekend and do a Wild Good multi-sport. Nice that it benefits Friends of Blackwater (does it still?), but that group can be supported in other ways, too.....

We should pick a weekend maybe in April/May or Sept and make it a TE get together and/or multisport weekend - do a long ride one day and then if there's any kayakers that want to make a weekend of it, do a paddle the next day.
If there's interest in making it a weekend, there's the usual hotels. I know Kmerzad wants to get in practice camping for eventual bike touring, so we could get a group campsite for near by and camp.
