ATTENTION: NEW RIDE START LOCATION AND MEETUP TIMES! READ BELOW PLEASE...

This Sunday, 1/22, I'm leading a ride starting from Riverdale Park Train Station, going down to the Wilson Bridge, and back.

• I'm rolling from Riverdale Park Train Station at 7:30am, then stopping at Philz Coffee in Navy Yard around 8:30ish.
• I'll roll out of Philz at 9 for anyone that wants to join me.

Here's the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41832078

I haven't locked in a lunch spot yet, but I'm open to suggestions. I'm thinking somewhere in Crystal City area. (Is Tacombi decent? Taco points! )a

Nobody left behind, but trying to keep a pace of 10-12 mph average.

I'm on Team 2 - Frozen Fietsen - but this is totes open to Freezing Saddlers and friends.

Make sure you have a good working bike, tools, and parts to fix a flat.

Feel free to join all or part of the ride, or just saying hi at Proteus or Philz.

It's forecasted to rain around 1pm on Sunday, but hopefully it improves. If it's ugly raining in the morning, I might postpone it, but I'll post here if I do.

The penguins are coming off the ice flow and doing the Arlington Loop. Starting at 1 pm, Saturday, 1/28, from Shirlington, clockwise. I'll meander from East Falls Church Metro about 12:20 to the meeting start, across from Busboys & Poets. All are welcome. Look for the penguin jersey.

So sorry I can't join the penguins.
