Hi Lydia.?

Was thinking of you and Scott while riding by myself yesterday. (Great rides Tuesday but had other plans) I¡¯ll be doing the club opener. Looks like I need to bring something to drink. ? I¡¯d love to get a ride in with you both sometime. Name the place & time. Last Sunday was a bike show in Baltimore, badly advertised and mostly fixed gear at Union craft Brewery. My Buddy Jimbo had us riding afterwards through Druid hill park, Hopkins, Lake Roland, the zoo, Silburn Arboretum & a bunch of the Jones Falls bike path. You not would have enjoyed it. See you in Taneytown.?
