Team 4 Meetup Here!

Mine only tend to wake me up.
2nd year for me.
As for me. I live and work in Arlington. Since I work at the hospital, I am at work extremely early for rounds. I have been doing the roads in the neighborhood since the trails have been frozen over since the 3rd. They were clear today and yesterday but alas, it snowed again. I tend to ride to work, but it is only 5 miles so I add miles by adding loops and going to Falls Church, the turn around and go to work. Only issue is it is so cold in the mornings right now. I have afternoon yoga classes to stretch and clear my head.

Happy MLK Day! Looks like the weather has lifted out, so this ride is ON. Meetup at 11am -- slow-ish recon ride around the local trails, some shovel and broom work on the wood bridges and a few shady spots, and back. 20 miles, looks like about 1" or less of soft but slippery snow has stuck overnight on the trails. Expect temp between 30 and 35 (not bad), but a chilly breezy building this afternoon. Bring water -- it's easy to forget your hydration when it's cold.

Nice ride today on the Anacostia River Trails today. Now virtually all clear. Found one trouble spot where the plows from Route 50 above dump ice on the trail. Other than that, clear going.

Hey y'all! I'm Sam, third year doing freezing saddles, though got Covid last year that sidelined me quite a bit. I'm on Arlington (Ballston) and ive been working from home for the pandemic and enjoy getting out and biking as a way to break off from the computer. Excited to be in the group! Would love to join some group rides, I'm limited mostly to road or paved surfaces but always willing to try stuff.

Thanks for organizing and all the info! I'll try to be a bit more regular in here since this seems to be where the party's at!

Also, i don't have a pet of my own but I'm always happy to view dogs or cats (and other pets!) of all shapes and sizes

Welcome Sam! We’re waiting on our tenth player. We had one person who had to drop out so hoping to get a replacement player. Jeff

Just tried out the Anacostia River trail based on looking at all the Marylanders' rides. Loved it! So we'll maintained and peaceful, looking forward to getting back on it

Just a heads up that Team 4 is currently anchoring the middle, thereby holding current claim on the Meh-diocrity Pointless Prize.
