I tried to find this on google maps and came up with Old Forte Village Shopping center, swan creek road east and 210. Is there a gas station/some landmark's parking lot specifically where you guys meet up at?
Old fort village shopping ctr is right. Meet at the McD's on the corner at or before 8:30. From VA; take the beltway across the WW bridge and take the exit after 295 onto rt210 South. about 5 miles down the road pass Fort Washington Rd on the right(Exxon station on corner) next light is the meetup point. Take a right onto Swan Creek and a right into the shopping ctr. I'll be at McD's sipping an iced latte.
I'm fairly certain about the first part of our route, the last half I'm kinda wingin' it. I've driven most of it before, but it;s been several years. We'll figure it out.

Well, looks like I'm out.  Need to meet a friend from Hawaii for a late (ish) lunch, and there's not a chance in hell that ride will be done in time...
I'm aiming to hit 301 bridge by 10:30. That gives you plenty of time to scoot back up 301 for your lunch date.

Kinda late notice here... Ima heading out to lead a "Hot a @#$%, Head for the Hills" ride. Meet at Sheetz in Haymarket (I66 & Rt 15) at 12:30; stands up at 1:00. We'll go for about 150-200 miles and will ride Skyline ($10). Moderate pace.

See you in hell [evil]

Great ride today -- thanks, Jeff. Yevgeny (sp?) -- I had to bail and slab it. I couldn't face Rt. 1 through Woodbridge. The highway was quite a bit hotter, though. See you next time (after you get back).

Hot as hell is right. Just got back from my round Quantico loop after splitting from the quitters and bun bun. You boys should have come with :P

Got home about 2:30. Hot for the last couple of hours, but not as bad as the ride up. God help me, I may be getting used to it.
Great riding with you guys. Glad everyone made it home safe.

Is anyone riding this coming weekend?

Yep, I'm finally free for a full Sunday. I'd be down for your Bowie ride if you're up to leading. Otherwise, I'm willing to lead a group out to the mountains where it'll be 10-20 degrees cooler. Found some sweet roads out there last weekend and want to explore a bit more.

Water water water!

I suppose I could be talked into riding...

Ben, it wouldn't be the same without you.

I will try to pick up the pace.
