I am just up the road in Spotsy, we should ride some weekend.
Sounds great! My sister & bro-in-law and I all ride (my wife will ride - occasionally - but just a teeny little spin around the side streets +/- 5 miles at max.

)
I laid out a map (from MapMyRide) that is up near Spotsylvania Co up around Lake Anna area. We want to ride it this summer sometime. I used to have my dad's old 1975 Mercruiser speedboat about 20 years ago that he gave me as he and my mom got too elderly to be able to use it regularly, so I hauled it to my house, fixed it up a little, and took my wife and daughters up to Lake Anna all the time and we'd go tubing and (when calm) get up on waterskis.
