    The Nationals are about to go on a tear (optimism!), and you can witness part of it.

    Announcing the second Bicycle Fan Club Ride of 2018. If you missed the one in May, don’t miss this one!

    Sunday, August 19
    Nationals v. Miami Marlins (a team we should be able to beat)
    Exact details TBD, but outline is:

    9:30ish – pre-ride coffee (location TBD)
    10:15 ish – Rollout (route TBD)
    By 1:00 o’clock – arrive at Nationals Park
    1:35 – first pitch

    Right now I have 10 tickets, but I can get more if I know there is interest, so please respond if you plan to join.

    Mark your calendar now and watch this thread for updates coming soon.

    Sunday, August 19
    Nationals v. Miami Marlins

    9:30 – pre-ride coffee at Grace Street Coffee Roasters – 3210 Grace Street NW (Georgetown area)
    10:15 – Rollout
    10:40 – First scintillating historical stop
    11:30 – Second incredibly interesting historical stop
    12:00 – Third and final remarkable historical stop
    12:45 – Arrival at Nationals Park bike valet
    1:35 – first pitch

    Note that these historical stops are NEW AND IMPROVED! If you attended previous fan club rides, not to worry–you will not be bored with repeated information but instead will be flabbergasted by fascinating historical tidbits never previously heard on one of these rides.

    The ride is approximately 15 miles and will include some unavoidable hills with a total elevation gain (and descents!) of 640 feet. Fan Club Rides are social rides at a moderate pace and we will stay together as a group.

    Tickets are $20, which includes the ride, a seat in the shade with your bikey friends and a chance to win a fabulous prize!

    Paypal me or Venmo me to hold your ticket. I now have 11 tickets available.

    I’m definitely a maybe for the ride, assuming I hit that in between spot where I have too much work that I need to be in the office Friday (and so have to stay in town), but not so much work that I can spare a few hours Sunday AM.

    Several tickets still available.
    Don’t let the Nationals’ recent performance make you stay at home crying in your cereal. The ride will astound you with never-before-seen items of historical interest, and the company of your fellow riders will boost your spirits while the Nationals are making their last gasp run at the division.
    Hope to see you there!

    So its taken some wheeling and dealing, but Mr. Kitty and I are tentatively in for the ride portion. Hilariously our participation is dependent on wither or not we can be good kids and get our homework done before them. (He has a Portuguese final this week.)
