I've got a torque wrench and will certainly check that before hopping on! I was lucky in that I was just crusing along a slight uphill and not hammering or flying downhill, so no crash.

I like starting in Cumberland. Gives you something more to shoot for at the end, riding by Great Falls (pictured) and rolling into Georgetown. Also (very) marginally more downhill.

If your budget is $1000 and it doesn't have to be new, you can get a significantly better than "entry-level" bike on Craigslist.

Otherwise I would say a Fuji from Performance, or maybe a Giant.
