directions to trails in your area and regularly scheduled group rides. Really good bunch, those I

Look around Patapsco State Park... that's the most popular biking place I know of in Maryland.

Depending on where "right by DC" is, you may check out Wakefield and Accotink parks in Virginia
(adjoining parks right off of Braddock road, a couple of exits from the Rt 95 south split). The
terrain is well suited for beginner/intermediate riders. MORE (www.more-mtb.org) hold their Thrusday
night weekly rides there. A group I ride with tends to be there every Monday and Wednesday (and
occasionally Tuesday).

I can tell you of some cool spots to ride in MD, e-mail me...I live just outside of Annapolis. Be
careful in Patapsco, if you are just getting back
in. It WILL kill you!

Matt,

There are tons of places to ride between dc and Frederick and up to the PA line. Some are known
and most are unpublished but open. I'm not as familiar with the areas nearer to VA as I live near
Westminster.

Email me and I can let you know some of the secrets

Shhhh! Patapsco sucks, it's for Barney's and Losers don't go there.

The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give
an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

Hopefully, then I'll have it all to myself.

My job allows me the amazing privelege of about 10 days of work a month...usually in a row, which
means almost three straight weeks off. Every month. That means I go riding M-F, when most people are
at work. All season, I saw 7 other riders in Patapsco, and only one at my favorite spot. But that
one's a secret.

Okay, it's in Laurel. If anyone wants directions, beta, or wants to go riding, let me know. I can't
keep a secret.

Hahaha, I didn't know trails at Patapsco were supposed to be some big secret... Penny at Light St.
Cycles always raves about them to her customers.

They're not supposed to be secret, we just sometimes wish they were...way too much traffic on
peak days, and too many riders don't treat the place right...but I guess that's true of all the
good spots.

True, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind
