Dairy Road Bridge Replacement

Baltimore County is replacing the wooden deck and other timber elements of the Dairy Road Bridge (B-0034) west of Interstate 83 this spring. The road is expected to be closed for construction between March 18 and May 17. Engineers anticipate repairs will cost approximately $150,000.

Tuesday Orange Lollipop riders, start time is 10:00 am from Meadowood.

The Sheetz in Manchester is used for a break/snack stop on several cuesheets (e.g. Manchester Loop and Seven Valleys from ORR ride).
Robert Beaty reports:
"...the Sheetz in Manchester will close tomorrow for renovation “until at least September maybe October (2019)” said the clerk.
So that will not be a viable stop this summer."

See also the Carroll County Times article: https://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news … story.html
"The renovation of the Sheetz at 3281 Main St., Manchester, is set to begin this spring.
The store and gas pumps will be closed to customers during the renovation, and the company says the updated store will be very similar to the Westminster location on Md. 140 that opened in July. The anticipated reopening date is September."

Colder weather shortens Tuesday 3/5 ride to 32 miles.  See Calendar for details.

I made a forum post this morning.  After I clicked “submit” it took almost a minute for the posting to display.

However while waiting for the display, after about 3 seconds I opened a new BBC window and found the post was already up.  Yet the initial forum window still showed working for another 45+ seconds.

I can easily see how a user would be tempted to click submit a second or third time while waiting for the forum window to update.

Is the slow forum response a SystemSource hosting issue?   It seems that the actual post occurs immediately.

It appears so.  Since we started using secure communications with the server response time seems to be up with the added load.

Revised start time is 10:30am for Piney Hill Loop on Friday 2/8/2019.
