I’ll have to break out my hazmat kit for tomorrow then!

I think that’s the Week 5 Anything Goes race.

Verified, from the Crosshairs FB page:

Crystal City Crosshairs Garage Races
3 hrs ·
Attention garage racers and friends: Tomorrow’s Crystal City races are postponed. We are operating with an abundance of caution after an employee of a tenant in the 201 12th St. S. complex was quarantined because of COVID-19. The complex common areas were cleaned and disinfected, today, but we are holding off before racing again.

Tell ya what…we can’t race tomorrow, but we can still go for a bike ride. We should do so.

If you were planning to attend the Garage Races, you now have the evening free.
Anyone want to join together and play DC Trivia? You can get your ride in by riding to the bar.

Possible locations (7pm start):

• The Boardroom (Clarendon)
• Crimson (Chinatown)
• Penn Social (also Chinatown)
• Pizza Paradisio (Spring Valley)
• Hawk & Dove (Capitol Hill)
• Bonchon (Navy Yard – 7:30 start)

I’ll travel to any of these locations if we have at least 5 players.

A non-racer but a planned spectator who is interested in either Crimson, Penn Social or Bonchon!

Can you use the (gasp!) Metro?

Can’t as I might do my part in helping humanity:

I have not seen interest from enough people to make this fun, so canceling.
