Hooky Tomorrow?

[cmj7gh]

The forecast tomorrow (2/21) looks too nice to stay inside, so this morning I let my team at work know that there’s a good chance I’ll take a surprise last-minute vacation day tomorrow to spend time in the sun.

I’d like to go out west for a long-ish gravel ride, and I’d love to have some company! I’m planning to drive and have an extra spot on my car’s bike rack.

I’m very open to suggestions on routes/distance/timing, otherwise I’ll probably pick one of the routes from this page: http://grindinggravel.blogspot.com/2012/08/purcelville-road-outside-of.html

Let me know if you’re interested!

Hey,
This is a great idea!! I can barely ride that far (44 mi) on trails/roads, so probably can’t join you for gravel. BUT that’s a great idea. SO i’m following in your footsteps. I’m going to take a last-min. vacation day tomorrow too!

If you want to ride out the WOD instead , or maybe on the C&O up past Great Falls, let me know. I’m planning to start at HDCC (At Best Buns in Shirlington), watch those poor souls go off to work ( so sad!) and go from there.

Anyone want to join?

Argh! I took off a bit early yesterday to do about 50 miles of muddy canal riding, so I need to be in the office most of the day today. Have fun! I have loads of great gravel routes in Loudoun if you ever need them.
