    Sounds great — I like the distance and the pace but family obligations prevent participating this weekend. Will you be posting future weekend rides here?

    Yes, I plan to do a variation of this ride every weekend (other than MLK Weekend), weather and schedule permitting. I will likely switch between Saturday and Sunday based on weather and other obligations. Sorry you can’t make it this week, but hopefully you can another time.

    This sounds like a lot of fun, I’ll try to make it.

    When you say beer, coffee, and pastries how can one resist! In for tomorrow and would like to meet at the French School on Beach Dr.

    Great! See you there around 10:20ish. Not sure if we will hit the trifecta tomorrow, but it is a goal.

    I’ll be at Takoma and a friend will meet up at the school. Let’s get our freeze on.

    Thank all who came! We had a good mix of Freezers and civilians. 8 of us fought the wind to Brookeville Beer Farm (2 peeled off to ride their own ride). Heat, beer, and pizza restored our spirits and we enjoyed a tailwind most of the way home. I ended up with 54 miles and think I will sleep well tonight!

    Next weekend looks like a repeat of this Saturday: warmish but wettish. I will pick the day that looks the driest, but you may want to break out the fenders. Watch this space and the ride calendar for date and destination.

    Thanks for organizing – I’ll work on my climbing and maybe join you all again in a few months ;)

    Glad you joined us, and big kudos for sticking with it and finishing the ride! It gets easier, I promise. Hope to see you on the road again
