john g of empathytest is holding/hosting/having a road ride next tuesday.  knowing john, it will be scenic and back roadsy, slow enough to leave the skin suit at home, fast enough to not be bored.  for those that dont know about john’s project (unrelated to this ride) he is riding all of the roads in frederick county.  All of them.  even the boring ones.  his journey is almost over, and is chronicaled here.  he is a good writer, and humble as bean pie, so check it out.

here is a link to his project, called fixing frederick, and below is his upcoming ride’s sales pitch:

Ride Level: Casual pace on paved and gravel roads. Rolling terrain. <30 Miles. Rain or Shine.
Description: Come on out and catch the last of the fall foliage in the rolling countryside of eastern Frederick County.

A few of the hills can be a challenge, but we’ll take it easy and regroup frequently so no one will be dropped.
