    Anyone have any thoughts for a Summer Solstice ride on Thursday, June 21? Sunrise in Arlington will be at 5:43 am and sunset at 8:36 pm. Plenty of time to get a long ride in.

    Oh, I have lots of ideas. Unfortunately, I will have to live vicariously through you since I have several meetings on Thursday… :(

    ~15 hours? That should be enough time to finish the C&O in a day, especially if you have gears :D

    Join you? I, er, have a… wash my hair something something.

    Well, I just got mine cut, so it will dry while I ride. ;)

    Only an idiot would attempt that.

    I’ll vouch for the amount of hair on this guy so it is a legit excuse.

    Well, given the reports on the condition of the C&O, you’re probably right and I should try something more reasonable. Le sigh.

    If I had the day off, I’d ride up and do Murderer’s Row, then ride home. That should fill those hours.

    Yeah, I’d imagine C&O conditions would be a little boggy with these thunderstorms dumping rain and forecast of rain on Thursday.

    Not this year, unless you have a flying bike.

    Just as an FYI, today, June 20, sunrise to sunset is less than a second shorter than tomorrow June 21. So plan that fraction of a second carefully.
