[rcannon100]

Unofficial Made Up Schedule along with made up, there is a slim chance we might follow, route. Note that this is a revised route per Pete.

Saturday March 14
* 9:00 am Gathering at Bikenetic (coffee and pie)
* 9:26 am Depart (look it up)
* Get lost in Holmes Run and Cameron Run
* 10:38 am Arrive at MISHA’s in Alexandria for 30 min Pie break #1 (Buy your own)

Participants who complete this tremendous feat will be treated to Pie at the end of the ride at the Java Shack. Please feel free to join us at any point in the ride.

This will be a coffee style ride. Maybe break into groups of faster riders and slower riders.

We will be enjoying the Acme Pie Co. pie!

This is a disorganized, unsupported ride, brought to you by the same people who brought you Freezing Saddles. Ride at your own risk. Follow any route. Join at any point. Leave at any point. It’s up to you. The most important this is: enjoy some pie

Those Freezing Saddles participants who complete this tremendous feat will be treated to Pie at the end of the ride at the Java Shack. Please feel free to join us at any point in the ride.

This will be a coffee style ride. Maybe break into groups of faster riders and slower riders.

If you are planning on attending, please like – or say “in” – or join the ride on FB (trying to guess how much pie to order for the last stop)

We’ll be going through your ‘hood. You going to join on the Pie Train?

I’d like to, but need to check with my scheduler, especially since I already have a morning ride on the Ides.

Order more pie.

[DismalScientist]

Y’all realize that none of this makes sense since time is organized in base 12, not the decimal system.

Sorry, pi is irrational and its decimal representation will certainly not fit on a postcard.

Apparently Dismal has never seen a digital clock!

I don’t think I can make it, but thanks for the invite. Maybe I’ll order a pi(e) for home.

You can always simply meet us at one of the pi festivities en route.

I’m new to these new technologies. Digital clocks are like brifters to me. I like analog devices like friction shifters. Do digital clocks have 20 hour days?

No, no, we’ve got this covered.

Wait—I thought it was base 60. :p

I had a Greek friend who insisted the Greek letter is pronounced pee. She made little headway converting the rest of us. Pee day just seemed so lame.

[peterw_diy]

Looks like I just might ambush y’all at Misha’s. Or maybe wake early and put in another 10 Octothorpe miles to join you at the start.
