Here’s the “climate change bike posse” as we stormed the Capitol. (Photo credit to Paul Thompson.)

Peter and I rode out to Old Angler’s and arrived just before the DC contingent joined us. Mindy and Ryan actually had lunch at the restaurant, then rolled downhill to meet their bike brigade. We escorted them down the C&O Canal and CCT, picked up a few more admirers in Georgetown, then took the scenic route along the Potomac River and along the full length of The Mall past all of the memorials. After plenty of congratulations on Capitol Hill, about 30 of us filled a private dining room at Hunan Dynasty to share dinner, stories, and inspiration.
It was really great talking to these two cross-country cyclists, and meeting their supporters. To learn more about LowCarbon Crossings and their advocacy for a meaningful carbon tax, and learn more about this ride with purpose, start with their blog.
Thanks to Max for organizing!
