Ride Saturday - 11/3
#1
A few of us are kicking around the idea of getting together for a decent ride this weekend. If you're interested, post up so we can get an idea of who lives where. Given how people are spread out, a central meeting point early on may be tough... but we'll see.

I'm in Loudoun County but wouldn't mind making it out to Lost River State Park. We've done it once before and the road is pretty sweet. Well, that and mentioned it allows me to use this picture.

The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

I'd prolly go, if it's on sunday. I'm in Silver Spring, but I can meet you, as long as it isn't stupid early in the morning.

I could swing that, but would like to be back for the 4pm Pats/Indy game.

Sunday's cool. I, too, would like to be back since a friend is coming into town that night.

The LRBS crown will go to somebody else... my tires make me nervous right now.

It's probably 5 hours, including there and back from my place.

I think that would mean a 10am meet-up is necessary. Doable?

Didn't we spend more than 5 hours last time? I don't know for sure if we did, it just seemed like longer. Can Google maps do a rough estimation if you plug in the routes?

I think we spent a total of 8 hours out that day but we also did 211 to get there.

Haymarket may be unnecessarily south. I'm thinking the Sheetz off 50 and then head 50 west to 55.

Says 3 hours 1 way... I guess that's about right.

edit: If you can copy/paste all that into a browser, have at it.

I was thinking about it if you guys went Sunday, but that seems pretty far from here, I think I'd rather have the day off!
