[Md-sligo] anyone know about the wmaba?

[Denna Lambert]

Hi Henry,

Last year, there were two tandem riding groups and an occasional ride on
Saturdays.  Again, these were generally set up by MWABA and were located in
Northern Virginia or in Bethesda.  the bikes were transported by some of
the pilots or kept in a storage locker at a metro station.

As far as horse back riding, Not sure of that one.  I have used Pascataway
Riding Stables in Clinton for individual trail rides.
