CC * 40/30 * MD * 11 AM * Sherwood ES (SES) * 38°
A February Folly.  All rides from SES are somewhat hilly but we'll  keep it real for the season. The route will be online at http://goldray.com/bikerides. If the weather is warm, in the 50's, we'll do the longer route with a rest stop; if not we'll have the shorter route but probably with no stop. (If it is really nice the 40 can easily be stretched out - and on the other side, the 30 can be shortened.) In any case, we recklessly invite one and all to our nearby house after the ride so bring hot tub garb for an indescribably delightful dip w/hot chocolate served. Please do come!!!! B people who want to relax are also welcome.  Cell for day of ride: 202/997-2378. Harold Goldstein and Janet Young [mdbiker@goldray.com] 301/854-0388
