thats ok, I waited at Wendys for you for like 20 minutes and then went to Ipswitch. I met up with some guys from EVMBA (??) and hung with them. I rode the shit out my bike, went of a 3 or 4 foot jump and smashed the shit out of my front shock. I broke it lol.

other than that, it was fun as crap, and I'm DEF going mountain biking again next weekend!

From the Chrysler, all along the watefront, around the parking lot at harbor park, up over the bridge and back again is about 8 miles with half a mile of climbing. There are lots of staircases, and built up grass hills over by waterside that you can go up and down too.
Took your advice today. Rode powhattan to 38th street. crossed over and took Killam to 25th. Rode 25th until we took a right on Llewelyn. Llewelyn turns into Duke, which we took across brambleton and followed until it stopped. went one block left and that put us on Bousch right by Nauticus. Rode the dock path to waterside and down water street, up and across the berkley bridge. We tried to make our way to downtown portsmouth from the berkley bridge but got lost. Then rode back. 13.5mi total.

Heh, I would guess you got lost getting to Downtown Portsmouth because you were actually in Chesapeake when you crossed that bridge. You have to go through the tunnel to get to Portsmouth I think. Or ride really far around Chesapeake.
