Here’s to hoping I can eventually get a job over that way and become a regular. Great idea guys!

It kinda starts on the late side though…

If it starts too late for anyone, let me know.

I threw out 7 as a time that I knew worked for the core group of folks that schemed the idea last week. I’ll probably show up at more like 6:30.

It works on the Freezing Saddles philosophy. If you think something should be different, like starting earlier, then just throw out that you’re coming earlier and everyone should join you.

Hope to see lots of you tomorrow morning. Looks like we will probably have great weather!

Okay, if this actually happens more than once and looks regular (year round?), let me know and I’ll add it to the Coffee Club sticky.

This is awesome…work right here in CC and always thought there should be a morning bike coffee here!

I might be there tomorrow, perhaps no though. I might not be riding. My knee is all ganked, and I have to haul a bunch of crap to work (my xbox I’m selling to some co-workers). It’ll be a game time decision! Don’t forget to tell Andrea about it too!

But thanks for posting the thread Judd.

hmm… +4 miles… I’ll be bringing my own and see who is there, probably around 8:30-8:45. I need to practice for next year’s BTWW where I will stop at the CC stop even though it’s not remotely on my way to anything.

New addition to Crystal City Coffee Club: Xbox tournament!

Ian – there is ample parking in Crystal City. It would be a shame if you missed the first one.

Yeah, no one is riding in that bike lane anyway.

You mean the wedding photographer limo and minibus parkinglot along the front of the waterpark? Just wear a white dress and nobody will blink an eye :p

*Ian if you are an xbox dealer I may have a working first gen Japan/Hong Kong zone 360 to consign

I may or may have not kicked some cones placed in the bike lane by a shuttle last week.

Oh my goodness look at the time… sips coffee… leaves

[GovernorSilver]

Bought coffee and quagel at Cosi and walked coffee and bike over to the park – kind of a bad idea because I was spilling coffee all over my hand and steering the bike with the other hand was awkward. I just don’t have the skillz to ride one-handed yet.

I got there around 8:15. I managed to catch Chris, KayakCyndi, consularrider, and ArlingtonRider just before they took off. Enjoyed the relative calm of the park while finishing my coffee.

[consularrider]

Yeah that’s kinda what it looked like when arlingtonrider, kayakcyndi, subby, GovernorSilver, and I arrived around 8:20, but no coffee and no club.

I think it might be more of an early meet up. Sorry, I really wish I could have made it, but I was hauling too much crap today for my ride. I guess it was karma, since I got stuck on the damn red line AGAIN and it took me more than 2.5 hours to make it to work at Medical center.

I’ll be at the next one, probably a bit before seven. Thanks for organizing again Judd. Leo, I don’t deal in Xboxes elusively, I’m selling everything in my apartment that is not a bike so I can buy a new bike. Xbox was just one of the many casualties. Now…I still have a PSP and a sometimes working Dreamcast if you’re interested. My last big money maker is a classic Orvis CFO II fly fishing reel. So, you should consider taking up fly fishing….

There were a bunch of us there at 7:30. I had to drag over an extra chair.

Photographic proof of the CCCC early shift:

dbb was there too, but he’s so fast that my camera couldn’t catch him.

The last early shifters left just before 8:00 — sorry to have missed the second conclave!
