Citizen Representative Needed for the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board -- Whether you are interested in this position or not it is news worthy that this is the first time that a citizen representative will have voting rights on this committee thanks to the efforts of the Baltimore Bicycling Club and to the current committee and the BRTB for being receptive to the idea. I encourage anyone interested to apply and get involved in changing the area to be bicycle and pedestrian friendly.
-=Barry Childress=-
The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) is currently seeking a volunteer to sit on the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Group (BPAG), to represent citizen interests related to bicycle and pedestrian planning in the region.

TEN TOP RIDES (Get out there and ride!) --
By Michael McCoy, Adventure Cycling Field Editor
Got a week? If the answer is yes, we’ve got your next cycling destination. Ten of them, in fact. In the first of what will be an annual feature, the January 2008 issue of Adventure Cyclist served up the inaugural “Ten Top Touring Areas”, a feature-length look at ten of the finest riding destinations in North America. With general descriptions of weeklong rides and a list of key contacts for each area, it’s an invaluable planning aid for bicycle-adventure hounds everywhere.
From a rugged ramble along the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, to a seaside joyride down the West Coast of California, to epic descents in Now Hampshire’s White Mountains, there are mouth-watering rides in every corner of the continent described by area experts and illustrated with spectacular images from some of cycling’s top photographers.

8 More Ways to Map Your Ride --
From: RoadBikeRider.com Newsletter, Issue No. 314 - 10/18/07
Visit: http://www.roadbikerider.com
We got lots of e-mail after issue No. 312's note about a course mapping website called runningmap.com. It's not the only site that lets you design routes or measure roads ridden -- not by a long shot -- and it sounds like it may not be the best. If you're interested in an online way to calculate courses, check these other sites too. We can't vouch for them, but these roadies do:
http://www.toporoute.com doesn't require clicking multiple times to go around a curve. It has logic to follow the road. For bike paths and shortcuts that aren't roads, it allows you to "not follow the road." It also has an elevation feature. You can even create a link to your route and e-mail it to friends. -- Kurt J.
http://www.bikely.com uses Google maps. It's got some great features including an elevation chart. I've been using it for years. -- Cory B.
http://www.mapmyride.com lets riders save their routes and e-mail them to friends or post them on the Map My Ride website for access by the internet community. This could be a good source for finding a decent route when visiting an unfamiliar area. A route can be uploaded to Google Earth to overlay it there. -- Bob B.
www.mapmyride.com has a "follow roads" option where you don't have to put lots of points around curves to get accurate results. -- Mike E.
