.. Sun on my face! I just barely started biking in Pittsburgh before graduating from Carnegie Mellon (BS in Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering), so now I'm picking it up in and around Ellicott City. The fabled Seven Hills ride should prove challenging once I get to them.. but for now, I'm content to ride to the library.
I chose the central branch of the Howard County Library as my first destination for the following reasons: it's far enough away that I'm saving gas on going and having a good trip out of it, and they have things that my local library doesn't; namely, more novels in spanish.
There are reportedly 80-90 miles of trails in Columbia -- but the maps aren't available online, as far as I can tell. The Columbia Association says they sell them (for a small fee), but I didn't find them over at the Rouse Center. I might just explore trails on my own to find out where they go instead.
Edit: Trails in Ellicott City are much more fun, not to mention beautiful! It takes a while to get away from the traffic that suburbs bring, though -- major drawback.
