Ha, yeah, happy at 6A??? Also, I must be blind, but that doesn’t show up at all on the calendar for me. How long are y’all there in the mornings? I usually am on the trail (forget if I said this) by 730 or so; and then around 430, 5-ish when heading home. I have a little black Surly and some absurdly large black Timbuktu panniers. Right now, I’m usually in a bright-blue parka or a black jacket, with a yellow reflector vest.
How about this: If interested, let’s do a coffee meet-up on Tuesday at the Bethesda Paul, 7:30A. If it works out, we can do something at another – warmer – time on the trail, by the bridge between MoCo and DC.

I’m usually up early enough, just prefer to avoid all human interaction until at least 11:00. As Sartre should have said, hell is other people at breakfast.

Yeah, there is a meet-up on Fridays at A Baked Joint, which is not far from my office. But I’m typically sleep-deprived during the week, and it reaches its peak on Fridays after a week of too little sleep every night. So far, I have not managed to get there even once.

You are not. If I had my druthers, I wouldn’t start work until 10. Every morning is a struggle to get out of bed.

I need this guy to lead the next Midnight Saddles!
February 4, 2017 at 3:32 am #1065401TwoWheelsDCParticipantI ride the CCT from Gtown until Fletcher’s, where I get on the towpath to Chain Bridge. I usually roll through Gtown around 730ish or so, so I would meet up if the timing worked out.
February 5, 2017 at 4:20 am #1065439secretsurnameParticipantI do Silver Spring to Georgetown mornings – use the CCT around half the time. A Bethesda meetup would be fun! Definitely post it here if it’s going down.

February 6, 2017 at 2:23 pm #1065504CaitlinParticipantHi guys, we’re meeting up tomorrow AM at 7:30 at the Paul in Bethesda. Hopefully, it won’t rain! Looking forward to meeting some of y’all.
February 6, 2017 at 2:41 pm #1065509CaitlinParticipantAlso… it’s Girl Scout cookie day in my office, so I’m hoping my ride up the trail goes faster than usual with lighter-than-usual bags. I need to make room in my panniers (And, preemptively work off the gluttony!)

Sorry Caitlin, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it. I try to be at work at 7:30. Have fun. I say, if no one shows up, you should zip over to Kaldi’s in Silver Spring. The gang that meets up there is a great.
