Subject: RE: Waterman's Bike Course The roads aren't closed to traffic for those events anyway, but the shoulders are pretty wide in most spots and you get police direction at the intersections. I think you'll find that if you're in the Rock Hall/Chestertown or Cambridge/Blackwater areas, you'll find tons of cyclists on the roads and people are pretty used to them. Waterman's is a fairly flat course with just enough hills to give your legs a break; Blackwater (Eagleman 70.3) is pancake flat (and I mean FLAT!). If you're looking to minimize traffic, I'd recommend Blackwater Wildlife refuge over the Rock Hall area. Warming, though, it will be hot, windy, and no shade. |
