Subject: Training Locations in the Norfolk/VA Beach Area I am new to the area, as you may recall from my last thread asking about local races. I have learned that the only way to cycle safely is to load the bike in the truck and get out of the city. Two more requests for information: 1. This may sound stoopid, being surrounded by water and beaches, but where are the best places (safe and clean) for OWS? I amvery close to the Lafayette River, but have beentold by my neighbours that it is not clean enough to swim. 2. I have (crazily) entered the Nation's Harbor HIM in Aug. Clearly, that course will be hillier than any place that I ride in Hampton Roads. Where is a good place, within a reasonable drive, where I can ride on topography similar to that in MD. Thanks! |
