Fitness ride? No, it’s a fit’niss ride—gonna be fittin’ ‘iss here torta into my mouth.

Leaving TCM at 7ish, so get there early if you want to fill your growler or glass. Slowish roll north up the Trolley Trail to Taquiria Habanero, since I’ve been needing birria. After that? I dunno. Maybe Streetcar 82 or Denizens? Or something else entirely?

Leave the race wheels behind. Along with the spare food. Neither will be needed.

(And for the non-Murrlinders: TCM is located at the intersection of the Trolley Trail and Queensbury Road. That’s 4705 Queensbury if you have to tell your GPS)

Sunday, 02/05/2023 (11 AM) #PublicArtFinder Fun ride goes to Reston VA

Come and explore while on 2 wheels some of Reston’s 80+ permanent and temporary public artworks and score some #publicartfinder points!

Start/End/Mid-point: Starbucks at Wiehle Ave – Reston East Metro station.

This fun ride is a joint venture between perennial, prolific and Reston-resident PublicArtFinder @karenbikes2 and the pointless prize sponsor @Boomer2U. Participation is open to all who can ride a bike and at your own risk so please wear a helmet, use bike lights and obey all road rules/trail etiquette.

The route consists of two loops that intersect at the Wiehle Ave – Reston East Metro stop for those who want to leave early or join later, though we cannot guarantee when we will be where once the ride begins, FYI.

*** Winter Bike to Work Day ***
Friday, Feb 10th, 7-9AM

It’s cold outside but that doesn’t mean you have to give up riding your bike. In fact, we want to encourage you to warm up to cold-weather biking on International Winter Bike to Work Day.

This year we [Bike Arlington] will have two morning pit stops–one at Gravelly Point on the Mount Vernon Trail and one on the Custis Trail in Rosslyn. No matter where you’re going (whether to work, school, errands, or a casual ride), stop by to say hello and grab some BikeArlington and Capital Bikeshare swag. We’ll also have free hot drinks and breakfast sandwiches from McDonald’s. First come, first served!

Also see here for special events and Alexandria Go! #WBTWW Bingo prizes for Winter Bike to Wherever Week Feb 6-10

We’re going to go backwards and try to intercept you. Is this part of your route in?

ATTENTION: NEW RIDE START LOCATION AND MEETUP TIMES! READ BELOW PLEASE…

This Sunday, 1/22, I’m leading a ride starting from Riverdale Park Train Station, going down to the Wilson Bridge, and back.

• I’m rolling from Riverdale Park Train Station at 7:30am, then stopping at Philz Coffee in Navy Yard around 8:30ish.
• I’ll roll out of Philz at 9 for anyone that wants to join me.

Here’s the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41832078

I haven’t locked in a lunch spot yet, but I’m open to suggestions. I’m thinking somewhere in Crystal City area. (Is Tacombi decent? Taco points! )a

Nobody left behind, but trying to keep a pace of 10-12 mph average.

I’m on Team 2 – Frozen Fietsen – but this is totes open to Freezing Saddlers and friends.

Make sure you have a good working bike, tools, and parts to fix a flat.

Feel free to join all or part of the ride, or just saying hi at Proteus or Philz.

It’s forecasted to rain around 1pm on Sunday, but hopefully it improves. If it’s ugly raining in the morning, I might postpone it, but I’ll post here if I do.

All welcome to infiltrate a double team ride tomorrow Saturday 1/21/23 – with teams 6& 9 (probably mostly 6 tbh – so far my team looks to be busy…. But I’m going to represent [emoji1377][emoji12][emoji1744])

Leaving from Columbia Island marina at 11, & following this route:

https://strava.app.link/htyksqpPKwb

Should be at the head of the MBT at 11:30-40 to meet anyone who wants to join from the DC/MD side of the river. That will be at M St NE, here:

38°54’17.9″N 77°00’14.4″W
https://maps.app.goo.gl/6vq1CuARx7BzbmBZ8?g_st=ic
It’s elevated & runs alongside the metro

Please feel free to reply /message me if you’re coming so we know to keep an eye out or wait a bit or [emoji848] look for you elsewhere.

[emoji2] Happy [emoji3063][emoji2186][emoji177]
Also happy new year – I believe it’s Chinese new year on Sunday!
