    Thanks for organizing, I’m in! (plus it starts near my house).

    Great! After the ride you’ll be able to impress your friends with knowledge of a nearby monument to a man who once shot in the chest right before giving an hour long speech!

    Also: 20 miles? I hope we can schedule a pee break. I suggest the alley behind a certain presidential-themed hotel that used to be a post office.

    How is Rosslyn tied to the resignation of a U.S. President? You’ll find out at our first stop!

    I’m there! I was planning on seeing if I can drag myself up and out early enough to visit the Monday Morning pancake people that day but I think I can definitely make it to downtown from Falls Church by then.

    I hope it’s not a stone carved version of one of those little pink hats. Btw, I have yet to find one that works as a helmet cover, otherwise the tiara might have been upgraded.

    If you do, I must know!

    “I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose. But fortunately I had my manuscript, so you see I was going to make a long speech, and there is a bullet – there is where the bullet went through – and it probably saved me from it going into my heart. The bullet is in me now, so that I cannot make a very long speech, but I will try my best.”

    The best part? This was how he OPENED his speech! He then kept on speaking for 30+ more paragraphs (as the transcript goes) with doctors and other trying to get him to stop. Love that man….

    I’m going to Monday Pancakes too, which is why the ride is starting later in the morning.

    You should. The pancakes are super tasty and almost all of the company is good.

    I’ve been wanting to do Monday morning pancakes. Will be the perfect day to combine pancakes and presidents.
