Northeast - Where are the MD people's

Harry, best of luck on getting the cycling sorted.

BTW, don't sell yourself short. Today, at this moment, I am not physically able to run a halfM, so what I've done in the past is mute. You -are- faster.

I did 50 today, what a beautiful day for riding. Of course I had to take it easy after yesterday, Corbett Rd. is very beautiful heading up to Old York and good clmbing coming away from the NCR.

NR-Thanks, I'm quite happy with just finishing the half and finishing in my expected time. Next year I'll be nipping at the heels of the Kenyans, not, but hopefully faster. I need more training and a thorough medical work up on my cardio and respiratory capacity.

I agree with Harry--today was a great day for a ride.

I had to do it--went after the 215K today, since we didn't finish it yesterday.

Beer and kielbasa--at this very moment. :D Doritos and beer are on the schedule later tonight. After that, it's beer and beer. :thumb:


NR, I think I :love: you. :lol: :lol:

My most recent Facebook status update: "Yeesh. The monsoon 24 Hours of Booty. Followed by the Shenandoah vertical rock-fest. Followed by the gale-force Seagull Century. :0 :0 I think for the next few weekends my butt is gonna be on the couch, watching football and drinking beer."

The Seagull was its usual crazy self. The feature this year was 40 miles of pretty fierce wind, most of it in the face. The temperature went from 78 degrees at 8:00 to 65 at 3:00. Rain for just a short time, right at the beginning (during which I was replacing the rear-wheel tube, which had exploded :mad: -- considerately enough, while I was in the dining hall having breakfast.)

The only time I did the Seagull was 2007 when I took this pic unintentionally featuring who? You, dear.

That day was so good, I probably won't do another one--just to keep the memory.

Oh, yeah, I remember you posting that picture a while back -- of course I don't remember you actually taking it, because I don't think I had even met you yet! (At least not in person, anyway.) Pretty bizarre coincidence that I'm randomly in the background!

Yeah, 2007 was great, definitely the best since I started going in 2003.

I'm working on some routes for Sunday Streets and I would like some feedback:

Shorty ride seems perfect.
Middle ride: I am not totally positive that you are allowed to leave your car parked in that Mt. Wash parking lot. Probably fine though.
Greenspring is a little bit difficult but no big deal.- it's a good connector here to the park.
Is the construction complete along smith ave into Mt. Washington? That sucked the last time I rode it. If it's not it's easy to re-route (7 mile to Wallis to Cross Country). Good route.
Long ride: Finally, googlemaps shows Deepdene going through to Edgevale. I would put in a warning about that super steep section of Dogwood. I wouldn't wish anyone to climb up it, but I think I dislike coming down it more. A blind curve at the steepest part. Yikes. Safe, only if you know to slow way down.

No probs with that route either. Good rides Barry. -GB

That's got a lot of my "susquehanna splendor" ride in it.
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/269220
I thought about throwing that out there too, but I feel pretty strongly about riding a confirmed route.
I don't think I've got the mental fortitude to handle 300k of riding + another 20k (or another hour) of getting lost.


Pre-rode the Point to Point today. Nice ride, but it took me a while because I was doing a lot of note taking.
The cue is much clearer now and that's good. The only crappy thing is that Fort McHenry is really not even worth visiting now. No bikes allowed on any path and at least 1/3 of the park is under construction. :mad:
I'm gonna leave the start there anyway.

I did the Tawneytown BBC ride today (and got caught by the "Hey you are not from around here" police, hence the corrected spelling.) Total for the day 108 miles and now sitting down to chocolate ice cream (competing for Maxine's emoticons ;) ) Absolutely gorgeous country side out there, I really want to got out there again when the fall colors happen.

Dear Park Rd was closed so I ended up coming home on 140 between Westminster and Reisterstown. So in the midst of rush hour traffic I'm taking the truck climbing lane doing 8 mph with cars doing 60mph all around me. :eek:

GB thanks for the feed back, I'll respond more a bit latter.

That's what a cell phone with built-in GPS is for.

Anyway, where's your sense of adventure? Louis & Clark didn't "pre-ride" their journeys and they had much more adversity to deal with. :rolleyes: j/k

Most of the route on the Middletown 300K I've ridden when I did the 3:30am ride start to Mt Joy [in the rain] and this past Sunday's ride. The portion up River Rd to Middle town promises to be scenic, then I'll ride a higher traffic road to Mt Joy's Prospect Rd south, head back into the Columbia area, and find River Rd on the south side of the bridge. I'd follow that road, but stay close to the river for the scenery, hence the little side trip on River Hill Rd. River Hill will get me back to River, then Holtwood where I climb out of the valley to Quarryville, take 272 south to Conowingo... yada, yada, yada. No worries! :thumb:

What could happen? Heck, if the weather is good, I might just ride that this coming weekend starting at 3:30am, again.

Does that sound right?

Absolutely not. I'm having it recalculate it. They say check back in 24 hours for the new chart.

3:30 am??? What? You all obsessed. I can't do 300ks because my 3 other ks and my wife would leave me : )

When do the pancake rides start up again? mmmm, pancakes. Sorry, I've been absent of late; it seems I've gone and gotten myself addicted to cyclocross and I'm focusing on figuring out how to do better in my races. As it turns out, being fat and out of shape is detrimental to success in this form of racing as well, geesh!

Anyhow, I haven't ridden with any of you guys this year (intentionally) so it'd be nice to get together at some point and do a ride.

Mike

Edit: November 1st is the next Pancake ride in Carroll County.

Who you calling obsessed?!



Walking huh wha? Don't get it. I just wish I had time to do a 300k. I think I just need to focus on what I'm doing now, sub 50, spin, weights, run, swim, etc.

Speaking of cyclocross, gal at the gym mentioned CX practices at Druid Hill at 5:30 Wednesday. Today is Wednesday and I may go to check it out, though I only have a mtb at this time.

Hey everybody: just got back from a W. VA climbing trip. Leaves are peaking in the western mnts. I was to go out there again this wknd for a camping/biking trip but weather is calling for snow:eek: We'll see what happens.

Isaias: 12K, very impressive, especially with 2.5 months to go. I hope to ride as well as you when I get to your age....oops too late:)

GB: hope to do the on again off again ride in Nov. I ain't going if the weather sucks. Did Trevor ever ride the C&O in a day??

Harry: I don't think they are obsessed, masochistic might be a better adjective.

Barry: you nuts, Rt 140!!!!!

What happened w/ the weather? I was wearing shorts this wknd in the mnts but this AM froze my ears off. Gotta pull out the winter garb.

When I clicked over to read your post last night I had been fiddling around with that googlemaps route encircling Baltimore in a 250 mile loop and thinking- "yeah, I could ride this" I was joking because you were so right on the mark about being obsessed.

I see them out there some times. Looks like a ton of fun.

UGH! This weather is sucking the life out of me!

I hope this is not the prelude to a long cold winter.

I wondered when one of us was gonna mention that. This week has been a real tester of the winter gear.
Many of my favorite clothes from last year have lost water repellency. Especially the Showers Pass jacket and the Foxwear pants. Wet and cold.
Yuck. :mad:
I'll try the Nikwax stuff on them.

This is the season for de-sensitization.

+2, 'twas a rough week commuting.

Isaias: I thought you would be riding the 300K this wknd;)

GB: It is important to wash water repellent clothes according to manufacturers recommendations to maintain water repellency. I think line drying is also important as oppose to hot dryers.

Just ordered some motorcycle overboots, tired of cold wet toes. We''ll see if they work. They are suppose to have open bottoms so you can use clipless.

"What was it like way back then?" The this-month-in-history of the MD Peeps thread.

This time last year(2008)
We were figuring out the when and where for "Tour de Beer". (which of course makes me ask myself that question for this year). Josh and GB ride out to Frederick together, and on the return Josh thinks that the interstate might make a faster route home. So, he knocks out a few miles on I-70. :eek: NR is finishing centuries like they’re going out of style.

Year before that(2007)
NR and Barry were comparing the results of their new helmet cams- both shaky. GB's new Bianchi gets ripped off near the courthouse during jury duty. NR does not manage to keep the rubber side down during a Nov. BBC ride. He posts pics (not suitable for family viewing) of the damage to his backside. :twitchy: Barry also goes down on RR trx, tacoing the wheel on the original truck bike.

And the year before that(2006)-
Thread is just getting started, but there’s already activity by "old-timers” NR, Charlie, ccrider, RacerMike, Barry and Maxine. NR is rendered “car-free” because a drunk smashes into his truck while parked at his house. He is also pushing hard to hit 10k miles for 2006. (slacker ;)) ...and, just like this season every year, we're all complaining about the weather. :lol:

So there you have it- the this-month-in-history of the MD Peeps thread.

Love it! Great summary, Bob. I still have the scars on my right hip from going down on that BBC Thanksgiving ride. Still didn't learn my lesson about wet wooden bridges, though. I slipped on another one, but kept it upright just recently.


For those curious to see the carnage from last time...
OUCH! A Turkey Day (Thanksgiving) ride (slip & crash) (http://twitpic.com/fz4wp)

This is funny, but IMHO there's more types than these 6. Which one are you most like?

Funny!!! Guess my closest is "Roadzuki." ("Over-the-hill summer cyclist weekend trips; always wears helmet, even while eating.") :lol: Minus the frou-frou coffee, though.

Well. I can't say I am as hardcore as you all but this has been my first week of trying to get into a diversified workout which includes riding to the gym, I think of it more as a way from point A to B, not calculating mileage or recording it as part of my workout, but climbing up Bellemore after a 45 minute spinning class plus weights is GREAT! and I don't have to sit in traffic like a ******. I did it Tuesday and Friday, I think Wednesday but I can't remember. Friday was wet and cold but it's such a short trip it aint no no thang. I have my mt bike rigged with my Nightrider lights, back being very very bright and blinky, seat post bag plus my backpack. The mtb makes for a good urban assault vehicle as you can jump up curves to avoid distracted drivers, etc. There are at least three good rides getting back to my house, all include climbing, of course. Bellemore, Lake (traffic!), Poplar Hill, mtb comes in handy here, and through Rob E Lee park to Woodbrooke for some dirt and pavement, though getting back across Charles is a *****-cars cars cars, and more f-ing cars!!

Today I drove to the gym as I woke up late and half of my wet wear was in the wash, but Saturday morning traffic is minimal.

^^^^^
At least someone got out on the bike today. Good job.

Me, I'm sitting around storing energy (i.e., eating and napping w/a planned beer or two later) to be ready for Bob's [wet and windy] Point-to-Point 100 mile ride tomorrow.

@Bob--if you are going to cancel, you'd better get the word out early if DC RAND is coming from DC.

EDIT--Ah, I see you posted to BBC Talk--ride on rain or shine. Ok... ok.

Er, more like 100% until mid-morning. Weather channel says the winds will be 20-30 mph from the NNW.

I'm oiling before I leave--nothing to do with lubrication, but more to repel water from skin and clothing.

HCMF, go boys.I canceled my camping as 2" snow was forecast. I'm with you in spirit:thumb:
I brewed and drank a few in your names. Report with pixs when you return and warm up.

Finally got out w/my new magicshine light for 15-20minutes, only 3 word to describe how bright it is
1.wow
2.wow
3.wow

It turned night into day, brighter than anything else I ever had. For only $85.

High is really bright really more than plenty, Medium close to high probally use most of the time,low is still brighter than my other LED lights, flashing mode is insanely fast good for daytime?,then the useless SOS mode, just in case the bike and I take a wrong turn and end up on a deserted sland.

Maybe one evening I'll do some beam shots.

On my short ride I did notice how cold it was as my face was freezing, found my balaclava for the ride in tommorow,
Gotta love the lows in the 40's and the high's in the 70's, better than it raining though.

Ride report is in progress, but there's some stuff on Twitter now.

Looks balmy. Seems like a decent turnout considering the weather. Your afternoon looked nice, a little chilly but I saw the sun peaking out.

Josh: Thanks for the review of the light. I've been reading about them. Seems I've got enough lumen this year but maybe next. We'll see how well they perform over the long haul. Will you be commuting with it?

This is Part 1. Part 2 covers leaving from the restaurant after dinner. Not much to it other than I had to take a detour due to a freight train that couldn't seem to get across Boston Street. Back and forth it went, never really going anywhere. I had my fill of it after standing by the crossing gate for 20 minutes. I went up O'Donnell Street instead. [I][What a pisser while riding the streets of Baltimore at 8pm]

Here's a link to GB's photoset of the ride:

Commuted today with it, everyone and everything yeilded to me, turning traffic,cross traffic and even the canton/federal hill dog walkers at 6am (those goobers don't even yeild to cars)

I think if the CFO (the wife) will allow it, maybe I'll get another one for the helmet.

Hey a few of us are going to re-ride the 3/4 century route of the 2009 Civil War Century tomorrow; this time in SUNNY weather! Meeting in Thurmont Park (across the road from where the BBC reg tents were set up) at 9 AM. No particular schedule from there on, but will stop in Smithsburg (30miles) and Gettysburg (55 miles) for lunch. This was a beautiful ride even in the rain in September. We're thinking it will be even more so in the sun with the leaves changing colors. E-mail me if you're inclinded to join us. Anticipated pace will be 15 -16 MPH average is my best guess.

Nice report. I know I would have been hoping for no shows so I could have gone back to bed. This of course is what separates a casual rider (me) from randonneurs. I never know how to spell that.

Anybody want to go see this flick on Oct 22nd? One night only. I think it's playing in Owings Mills and a few other places.

http://www.raceacrossthesky.com/

Any interests in hooking up for this? Super easy for me to meet at Owings Mills, but if there is a larger Columbia contingent I'll go there.

Much more interesting than mine.

Any interests in hooking up for this? Super easy for me to meet at Owings Mills, but if there is a larger Columbia contingent I'll go there.

I was planning on it but I have yoga that night, yes..yoga.

I expect it will eventually be released on DVD then I'll have a private viewing party at my house-10' screen! and free popcorn + beer.

I like that idea better. Especially since I just checked the ticket prices at Owings Mills- $12.50 !

In fact, I like Harry's movie night idea whether this movie is out on DVD soon or not.
I've been interested in seeing this new film: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1329390/

Is that on DVD? Looks like it may just be an internet release. That's a ride I'd like to do---when my kids are in college and I figure out what to do with my wife. Pay her off maybe?
