A Third Thursday Happy Hour on Aug. 16

[TwoWheelsDC]

My wife: “We’re thinking of moving to Arlington”
Claire (DismalScientist’s young daughter) to my wife: “You’re gonna move to Arlington?”
My wife to Claire: “What do you think, should we move to Arlington?”
Claire: “Well, what’s your financial situation?”

They grow up so fast….

Honestly, folks, no thanks are necessary! All I did was call in the number of people. You all made the party. So many thanks to everyone who came and made it a great evening!

By popular demand, we’ll try to do it again on Sept. 20, same time, same place.

I find myself liking a lot of the posts on this thread. Sorry I couldn’t make it this time, but if it makes you all feel better, I did get to the DC Beer Week event at Meridian Pint, the best beer bar in DC, with my wife and kids. Ommegang beers paired with vegetarian tapas == awesome.

I’ll start planning for the 9/20 gathering now.

Good to see those that were still there, and actually meet/talk to some of the newer faces (krazygl00 – nice to meet y00!)

Kathy – thanks for the KC bike sticker! That was a cool inner tube wallet you had too.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]1547[/ATTACH] Thanks! I like that recycled innertube wallet too – it fits perfectly in a jersey pocket and is mostly waterproof. Nancy Mcdonald at http://www.re-velo.com makes them.

Well, Claire is the Supreme Ruler of Everything after all.

OK, just for fun, I stitched together my rides for the day LOL (thanks Kathy for the suggestion)

I had to use Runkeeper so it wouldn’t screw up my Strava, especially since the route makes jumps where I catch a bus from New Carrollton Metro to Bowie, then back. And the Metro ride from Metro Center to Medical Center, so it wasn’t a 70 mile day, more like a 55. Definitely worth it for cheap beer, delicious wings, and awesome friends (not sure the adjectives are in the right places there)

That is an absurd route… you also get a bonus for helping fix a flat… I will throw in a Hostess SnoBall to accompany your Twinkie and Ding Dong! BTW, I fall into the “Cheap friends and delicious beer” category.

Thanks for y’all putting up with the rug rats. They get a little antsy after three pints of root beer.

I found a picture of dbb, a.k.a. “Tree Killer”

I can’t stop staring.

The oversized axe. The chrome hard hat. The suspenders. The flannel. The BELT BUCKLE!

Someone put down a ghost tree at the site of dbb’s tree killing. We must all promise to ride a few extra miles to make up for the tree that dbb is responsible for having killed. Amen.
