Show up all five days and get a chance to win an e-bike? Sheesh - a raffle entry is quite a step down from a jersey :(

I lost a SteveO valve cap when I got a flat about 135 miles into my GAP Trail ride in 2020. If I ever pass that way again I'll have to be on the lookout for it!

Y'know, I think I'll just drive there :( Thanks for the offer, though!

I had thought that a convoy hauling the PA gear would be kind of cool, but trying to get everything back home with people...

Which of these convoys is going to help me carry the PA system? :D

It is named in honor of the local citizens whose grassroots efforts resulted in the building of the bridge, which seems to meet the current requirement of "substantial contributions to the regional...

FTFY - this Ballston eatery just needed a little typo correction.

I'm not even playing in Freezing Saddles this year, but I couldn't pass up the irony of this eponymous business. [From Jan 30's ride]

I think you could argue that 1049 Park Avenue would be a valid entry for you.

Costumes? I believe there are people on this forum who would be open to the idea of costumes :)

I haven't tried heated shoes, but I've been using Volt heated gloves for several years. I really like them. I have a lot of trouble keeping my hands warm and the heated gloves really help.

This year's ride got postponed due to a hurricane threat. My registration carried over so I guess I'm already registered for 2022. I do not know yet whether I'll be available to go to NY for the ride...

The road crossings of the nearby W&OD frustrate me. In many places bikes have stop signs while the cars do not, which means we should stop for them. Still, many drivers will stop for trail traffic -...

Yeah, we got pretty bounced around. Someone else at planning central had come up with that ride; given the trail's condition, the southern MVT wouldn't have been my choice of a ride for the 55+ bike...

I am posting just the opening paragraphs, not the whole article because I respect the NYT's copyright - but the opinion expressed should be understandable to those of us who attend coffee clubs (the...

I annotated a group picture with our corresponding characters

The rides start at 0900, 0930, and 1000 depending on length. No way am I going to get there 0800 for pictures :) Maybe 0845. Maybe.

Valerie is going to drive out with me and mosey around Old Town...

Just saw this online - two registrations available: https://nextdoor.com/for_sale_and_free/a97bfbf8-d2f3-4b23-9e87-18bcfb8183fc/

What length are people thinking of riding? This year's routes are 18, 49, and 64 miles. I miss the 30-ish mile option they had in previous years :(

Arlington keeps trying to name things including schools and roads after the Lovings, who were not Arlington residents and whose family wants no part of it besides - so Arlington residency is...

Not to burst any bubbles, but anyone who states that there is only one possible choice for the name of this bridge is engaging in either hyperbole or myopia. Arlington is a county of 200,000+ people,...

You mean kitten-like meat, right?

There's my fifteen minutes of fame right there :) I've been puzzling how to differentiate being dressed as Badtz-Maru from just being dressed as a penguin. One option I thought of was to wear a...

It looks like they've changed the routes this year. The options are 18, 49 or 64 miles. That's too bad - I thought the 32 mile length was just about right for a leisurely cycling + beer + food day.

I already have a Badtz Maru sticker on one of my bikes, so that's who I would go with.

Arlington and Alexandria are both reasonable places to stay and generally less expensive to stay in than DC itself. They are not monolithic - Arlington is 26 square miles (70 km2); Alexandria is...
