I'll be out next Thursday through the following Monday (10/8 thru 10/12) for the Seagull Century - a 100 mile bike ride that starts out in Salisbury, MD. I'm totally unfamiliar with the area but the route will take us onto Assateague Island - at right are a couple photos from the ride website. The ride benefits Habitat for Humanity, Salisbury University and many local Maryland charities.
Look for lots of photos and some interesting stories on my return.
Here's a link to the route for all you Marylanders

here we're from based on the jersey, although there was that one person in Tahoe who thought the flamingos on our helmets were pink chickens. See our cool Florida jerseys that we reprised from the last Tahoe ride.
Departure Day 10/08/09
We took a short ride out to Assateague Island and visited with the wild horses -- they're pretty tame for being wild and totally unconcerned with traffic and/or people.
Quite windy on the beach - enough that the blowing sand stung our legs but the wind was at our back on the way back to the house and got up to 29 mph cruising along.
All done at 1:40 pm -- best time for me - five hours and fifteen minutes ride time. It started out rainy, was perfect for a while and ended windy.
