Just a quick report on the Monday morning "F" work ride, short ride. Told GB he could write it but he's at work and I'm still hardly working!

GB and I decided to take a little ride this morning, he wanted to try out a new route, I agreed. I rode down to the ride start at Montebello, a route I'm familiar with. We then headed out onto Harford Rd to Walther etc. heading north east towards Loch Raven. We missed a couple turns coming out of the city but no big deal, backtracked a bit, found a few hills in those close in suburbs. Just loaded Google Maps on my Blackberry and that helped a little, not much as at one point it showed our location as being dead center in the middle of the beltway.
Poof, all of the sudden we are in the woods heading north on Harford Rd. and Long Green. I think we hit some wind there as my lumox pace was even more lumoxy.
Things got good as we headed west on Sweet Air and I particularly liked the left we took on Blenheim then Dance Mill. Familiar ride through Loch Raven at a conversational pace, saw another group heading opposite, GB said he spotted Lukasz. Up to Providence where I had planned on heading west to Towson and home. GB decided to go that way as well then to Seminary and on to work. I hit a small wall coming up Providence to Goucher, wind, pavement, hill, breakfast or lack thereof.
Toodled on home.

GPS track on Mapmyride. GPS elevation says 2752, which I have no way of verifying,my device has had wild fluctuations. Seems like we did a bit of climbing, particularly liked Factory Rd. Map My Ride has the elevation but doesn't always load.
