In Baltimore: 9/11-9/12

Spidey · September 01, 2010, 09:47:16 AM

Looks like I'm going to end up in Baltimore for the weekend of Sept. 11-12. I'm workin' Sunday and then flying home. But I'll likely have Sat free to futz around (I may have time Fri night too, depending on which flight I get outta SF). The folks I know in D.C. all seem to be occupied, so I'm solo.

Anyone wanna grab some food and/or throw back a beer or twelve? Are there good twisties close enough that I should think about renting a bike and going for a spin? Any other suggestions for a single day tourist?

Thanks in advance, gang.

Welcome to my hood

I am working the morning of the 11th but that evening I might be able to make some free time. There are some great twisties north and southeast of the city, if you have the means I would say it would be worth renting a bike if you're willing to drive an hour outside of the city.

Come on down to DC and go for a ride with us. There's a spare bike in my garage.

Tempting. . . . so tempting. And such a generous offer.

I'm still trying to nail down my flights and plans, but I'll see if I can swing by D.C.

Not to taunt.. but I just mapped a route for a planned ride that is looking to be pretty damn epic.

Very tempting except headed out on a mystery ride for Zooom's birthday that weekend - leaving on Saturday morning and coming back Sunday....can only say that there will be

involved.

How does one join such and epic even in the baltimore area? I want to tag along on some rides to meet some people and learn some good roads.

Join the Baltimore Area Ducati group on Facebook. I hate promoting anything Facebook related but it is handy for planning rides.

We're going to the VIVA ITALIA show at Rash Field (Inner Harbor) and going on a long ride either before or after (3-4 hours). The route is here: http://www.mapmyride.com/view_route?r=319128344339965642

I live 5 mins from BWI Airport you are always welcome to hang here.

Looks like I'm just doing a drive-by -- flying in Sat night, working Sun and then hopping back on a plane Sun night.

I'll have to catch up with y'all the next time around.

But I already made all these cupcakes...

Who can say no to cupcakes?

Don't worry, they don't have to go to waste. Just leave 'em at the front desk of my hotel and I'll see if I can land a hooker at the hotel bar with a promise of a cupcake party.

and then she'll slap you with a package of bacon....B'More style!...LOL
