Columbia Archives Ride About

   On a Saturday morning that held a treat of rain showers the Columbia Archives Bike About from Lake Elkhorn attracted many of the over 300 bikers who registered for the event.

   This years event moved from its Town Center start to Lake Elkhorn to showcase locations in Owen Brown and Kings Contrivance Villages. 

   While the 3 mile ride covered a mostly flat route the longer 10 mile route on bike paths in Kings Contrivance gave riders a number of hill climbs and descents as shown below.

P.S.
    Tonights Emmys gives us a hard rooting choice for Best Drama series between Homeland and House of Cards.  Both are my two favorites for best shows of the past year.  With House of Cards being shown on Netflix it does raise the question of what the Emmys represent.  Once there was a clearer definition of what was a television show.  With Netflix that line becomes blurred.

P.S.1
    Not taking my own advice from Friday's blog I decided last evening to take may brother and sister-in-law to a restaurant in Town Center.  Forgetting about VirginFest at Merriweather I waited in line on Brokenland to make a right turn on Little Patuxent Parkway.  Of course the police had the road blocked at that intersection and directed me in the opposite direction.  After finding no parking at the Mall I endured a frustrating experience trying to find a parking place in the covered parking lot next to the movie theater.  By the amount of wet young people returning to their cars in this covered lot I could see that most of the Mall parking had been taken by the people at VirginFest.
