Group bike or swim - 7/25 or 7/26?

I'd totally be up for it on the 26th, but need to stay somewhat close to DC because I'm on backup call... A little sea nettle-less OWS would be awesome.

Im interested, i'll probably be riding from columbiaish to gettysburgish one of those days if nothing gets organized, anyone is welcome to join.

Was thinking of doing a Columbia Tri course brick on Saturday, if anybody wants to join.

I need to do a ride in the 30-40ish range tomorrow. I was going to go early because it is going to be HOT later in the day. I could do Columbia.

Well, it's a bit late in the game to announce, but Carl and I are going to brave the jellies at Sandy Point on Saturday at 8 am sharp.

I'm still down for a ride on Sunday, maybe leaving from Southern High School around 9 am?

HOT sounds like an excellent training opportunity, and it's an hour+ drive for me, I'll be there around 1-2 at centennial if anybody else wants to show up.

Let me know how bad it is--I was thinking of maybe heading out on Sunday...

Jellyfish suck. I got a bad one on each arm. Carl got a small one on his wrist. We each saw at least two that didn't get us.

We're going to meet at Marley Station mall Sunday morning and take the B&A trail to Arnold and back tomorrow morning if anyone's interested. Meet at 7:15 and hit the road at 7:30.

What's the total milage you're looking for on Sunday? I might be interested in riding.

My plan is to head toward Arnold and turn around in enough time to put me back in my car before 9 am. That may mean about 20 miles. More if I can be fast.

I bailed on the saturday ride - Too much beer on Friday night, but I made it up with a good run Saturday night, and finally made it to Columbia today. Good ride, Im really glad the course is marked, cuz I totally couldn't remember half the turns. Eddie rode with me, she liked the hills - sorta.

Did I mention that jellyfish suck? The swim was good if you can ignore the jellies. There was a group that (I believe) rode down from Annapolis Bike Doctor that stayed closer to shore and didn't seem to have as many issues with the jellies as I did (did I mention that jellies suck?).

Carl and I rode for about an hour on the B&A trail this morning and it was good. We didn't have the time either of us wanted to devote to the workout, but we got in what we could. There were a lot of others out there as well.

OUCH!  The last time I swam with you guys, I was stung twice on the same arm.  The next week I was stung again while swimming in the Magothy.  So, I decided to head for the indoor pool at the local Y.  Halfway through my swim I was called out of the pool because there was a snake in the lane next to me.  Since I am not too fond of snakes, I could have beaten Michael Phelps out of the pool!  Jelly fish are annoying but snakes are too much for me!
