All those who are up for a group ride post here and maybe we can get something organized.

I'm in.

I'm up for a ride, but like Avery, I am somewhat bikeless.  Lack of money has kept my 350F off the road, but I am close.  And with gas prices going up, I am motivated.

gimme about 2 weeks and I will be down for some riding. My engine goes back in the frame this week, and I need a few days of tuning.

I'd like to be in the loop- and if i think of any good rides for us I'll let y'all know.  I remember having a great time riding out to catoctin state park but haven't explored western MD as much as I would like.  Anyone have destination/route ideas?

I will be riding out to Ocean City Wednesday- Anyone is welcome to ride along.  I am open to scenic detours as I have the whole day to cover the 120 miles or so- Lois is at a conference all week and I am just going down to hang out and rock the free hotel room.  probably ride back thursday night or friday.

Lois and I get our milk from a local dairy farm at our local baltimore city farmers market.  They have this festival every year.  A few years ago we drove out to this festival to see where our milk comes from.  The cows looked happy.  I was thinking of riding out this year.  The milk is really good, but this year its more about the ride. Any takers?  it might look a little something like this- approx. 200 mile round trip from baltimore with five or six stops along the way. 

the cows are B  C is harpers ferry which I have never been to, but people are always talking about going there.  D is hagerstown.  i don't know anything about hagerstown, but putting D there routed me through a town called fairplay.  E is Catoctin Mountain Park, which is f'ing beautiful and has a fairly large waterfall that might be doing alright after all this rain.  last time i went it was during the drought last summer/fall and it was a very long trickle. 

any and all are welcome for any part of the ride.

Klark,

It sounds great, but I'll be busy all weekend either be framing out and installing attic stairs, or helping my wife get her booth at artomatic set up.  There will be a next time though.

So,

I'm thinking about heading out tomorrow for a ride.  Possibly Sunday or Monday as well.

Looking at a front royal loop (something like the attachment), or up around thurmont and back.  Not married to any particular route though.

Possibly followed by a batch of pulled pork that's been on the smoker all day (maybe not tomorrow, but definately by the end of the weekend).

Anyone game?

Next time is here.  Anyone up for a ride on saturday?  It's looking like my schedule is wide open and clear.  I'm looking at a 100-200 mi ride + lunch.  Any direction fine, depending on which members are interested.

Anyone?

Okay, I'm just seeing this now- a bit late.  But I am on the road now.  I forget to check this part of the forum.  Next time, PM me.  Or catch me on the shameless thingy.
