Looks like Briggs has decided to do a 5K & 10K fun walk/run on March 24th instead of Pedals for Pooches. It's called Tails on Trails. There is no sign of Pedals for Pooches on the Briggs web site.

The CASA ride will be on Sat. May 19th, I believe the same day as the Rich Rau Ride. The CASA organizers are looking for volunteers to help out with various jobs. If you go to http://casarivercentury.org/News.aspx you can see where they need volunteers. Jeff and Susan Brandenburg have arranged for the Busy Bees 4H club to man the South Jefferson Elem. (Summit Point) rest stop in the morning - THANKS Jeff and Susan!

All,
I am proposing doing a Poker Run to raise money for our Tour de Cure team. Poker runs are wildly popular among motorcycle groups, but there is no reason we couldn't do this as a bicycling effort.

Riding from my place (982 Bakerton Rd, HF) at 12 tomorrow. Distance of about 35M at moderate pace, 15-16mph avg with some faster pace sections. Weather looks great for January. Hope some folks will join in the fun. Feel free to call if you have any questions, 304-283-2077. Come on out. Charlie

Folks--New Years Day Ride--the weather report has gotten much better--temps in the 50s, mostly sunny. Let's meet at the Antietam Visitor at 11:30, and start the ride at 11:40. The whole ride is about 18 miles, with an earlier bail- out.

Anybody else off this week between the holidays want to put some miles in?

I plan on doing an easy (15-16 mph) 20-30 mile ride on Sunday at 1:00 PM.  I am leaving from the Breckenridge Subdivision.  Anyone is free to join.  No drops.   

I am going to be working from home Monday & Tuesday and am probably going to sneak out for a ride or two. I think the warmest time to ride would be between 1 & 3, but on Monday I have an appointment at 2:15. So on Monday I plan to try and ride at 11am, on Tuesday I plan to ride at 1.

I'll probably do 25-32ish miles, leaving from Washington High School unless anyone has other suggestions.

Post up, call, email, or text me if you're interested in either day or both.

Looks like a great day on Friday for a ride. Title says Black Friday but it actually looks like a very bright(Sunny Friday). For those of you more inclined to ride rather than shop, come on out and join us for a ride somewhere between 30M & 50M. Seems like a wide range but not sure how riders are going to feel. There should be options for bailouts if necessary. Ride will start at Scott Bean's house at 10. Should be starting to warm up by then. Pace should be a moderate 15-17mph average. Feel free to call with any questions 304-283-2077. Happy Thankgiving, Charlie

The weather looks great again for Saturday with temps reaching close to 60!  Is anybody interested in going out to Rolling Ridge sometime Saturday?  I'm not 100% sure on my schedule, but I think 1:00 would be ideal for the temperature.

Calling all roadies. Planning a ride from Johnny Dyer's tomorrow afternoon starting at 1. Should be in the 35-40M range give or take a bit. I hate to be too precise. The good news is (depending on your perspective)that there won't be a whole lot of climbing. Mind you, I didn't say there wouldn't be any climbing. My guess is about 2000ft of elevation. Looks like nice weather for mid-November. Come on out and take advantage of the good weather while you can. Please post up if planning to ride. Call with any questions or if you need directions, 304-283-2077. Hope to see ya there. Charlie

I have to work from home tomorrow (Thursday 11/10) to get the kids to/from school.  I am thinking about doing a lunch time ride if anyone else is off, or retired, or wants to play hooky.

Looking to go out for a ride around 1:00 on Sunday. Maybe 20+ miles.
Let me know if anyone is interested in joining me.

I'm doing a bike ride along the C&O this Sunday morning.From Hancock to Harpers Ferry. I have room in my jeep for two more riders. We can meet in Harpers Ferry at 8:30am and be on the trail around 9:30.
Let me know if anyone is interested.

I'm looking for some company tomorrow afternoon around 3. About 25-30 miles.

We are having another poker night on Saturday night. This is actually a re-schedule of the one we posted last month without noticing that is was the day before the Backroads Century. Since that event lacked any interest in attendance we pushed it back a month.

Who: Josh & Ellen Hughes
What: Invite you to Poker Night
When: Saturday, October 22nd, 7:00PM

A year and a half ago, I was getting bored riding my hybrid on the streets within my subdivision. I'd made a few excursions out onto the county roads, but was terrified by the traffic, and motorist's general lack of respect, if not downright hostility. I had taken up cycling to keep my wife company as she was looking for non-impact exercise, and didn't want to find myself dropping the sport out of boredom.

I thought I saw somewhere that someone was looking to go for a ride Sunday afternoon 1 or 2ish, but now I can't find it, maybe it was a dream.  Anyway I would like to go out for an hour or two Sunday afternoon if anyone is interested.

Some Team Integrity folks are doing a ride, but it's in the morning & I'll be in church.

Due to the diminishing daylight, I will be riding from the office in lieu of the regular start from Canal Rd. Start time will be 5:15. Call or post if you need directions. 304-283-2077. Charlie
