Lindsay & Kelly made the paper

Below is an excerpt from this morning's Baltimore Sun article on the Tour Dem Parks ride:

Lindsay MacCuaig took up bike riding about a month ago, at the encouragement of her girlfriend, Kelly Walker. They rode 55 miles Saturday in and around Oregon Ridge Park in Baltimore County, and when MacCuaig woke up yesterday she was still feeling the effects of that grueling ride in the heat. Still, she had agreed to yesterday's ride and was out on her bike early again.

"If you want to ride, you have to deal with the weather," she said. "I'm one of those psycho people who goes running in the dead of the summer."

MacCuaig and Walker not only rode the 40-mile route yesterday but rode in 12 miles from their home in Hamilton - and would have to ride the 12 miles back home in the afternoon. Still, they were smiling as they rested in Carroll Park, lying out among the dozens of bicycles scattered in the grass.

They didn't plan to rest long. Later in the afternoon, when it got a little cooler, they were planning to do 20 miles of inline skating around Lake Montebello to prepare to skate 87 miles at a fall event from Athens, Ga., to Atlanta.
