About this thing called Spring

[KayakCyndi]

I want Spring. Wait. No. I NEED Spring. And looking at the forecast we’re at least a week or more off. But that isn’t going to stop me from dreaming — dreaming about sunshine, warm breezes and picnics. Wait … I have an idea. WE SHOULD GO FOR A BIKE RIDE!

So here is the plan. I’m going to keep an eye on the weather and when I see a day in, I hope, the next few weeks where we flirt with 70 degrees, I’m going for a bike ride. A bike ride during lunch, in real sunshine, around the Mall. I’m not going to rush and I’m going to picnic. And you should come too!

The plan will be to meet at the CABI station at Smithsonian around 12:15pm. Bring your lunch. We’ll circle the Mall, maybe head to Haines Point, stop for our picnic and then head back to the office. I’m guessing we’ll be out more than an hour but surely the powers that be understand that a 70 degree day after this winter warrants a long lunch! Who knows, if we time it right, this ride might even coincide with the Cherry Blossoms.

Go for a bike ride. Duh.

Maybe it’s time for another Tour de FCC followed by the Arlington Loop and a Hains Point CaBi race before lunch?

Just bumping this up in case anyone else wants to join us! (Oops! I did that before I noticed that Cyndi did the same thing below. Now you’re doubly notified.)

The Park Service frowns on open containers.

We already know we’ve got someone from the FCC on this forum, keeping an eye out for cell phone jammers. Do we also have a representative of the Park Service here checking on open containers?

And I frown on the Park Service, so it’s all good.

Looks like I should free! I plan on being there at 1215.

Plan is still to meet at Smithsonian CABI station (on the mall) at 12:15pm. In case you miss us, we’ll be riding over to the DC World War I memorial for lunch.

See you all soon!

[KLizotte]

I’m coming!
