Hi!
Sunny is once again trying to get out and venture into her unknown world! Though I am working on a Covered bridge run I had one in the making already. Carving up the Potomac River. I want to cross the Potomac at 3 points -
Points of Rocks:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_Rocks_Bridge
Whites Ferry:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White%27s_Ferry
And 495's American Legion Memorial Bridge (Aka Cabin John Bridge):
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Legion_Memorial_Bridge_%28Potomac_River%29.
The idea came from OpenroadJourney:
www.openroadjourney.com/loadroute.asp?rid=820
As this is a preperation note I am not calling for riders yet. I need some help figuring out my route. There are still a lot of open roads to, from, and around the Potomac so I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with long stretches of boring roads. Also I may have selected a road or two that are not suitable.. My GPS map program says they are 'rivers'... O.o I like freeways only when trying to get back quickly...
Mapsource won't let me save the GPX file as a format that Google Maps will recognize and I don't want to post an untested ride to Openroads... So if you can help me out please send me an email and I can send you the file. (Feel free to use it in the future too!)
Thanks!
