Freezing Saddles Pi Day Ride

[Powerful Pete]

IN [unless it is too late – in which case I will follow the group from a respectful distance and try to steal plates of half eaten pie and/or pick up any crumbs from the ground].

[Arlingtonrider]

In, but will join up from Misha’s. See ya’ll there!

Tandem?

Since the plan is to bike through Holmes Run, maybe someone could bring a towel for Steve Claeys?

Obvious alternative is WOD to 4MR to Commonwealth to a slow few blocks on King to Misha’s. Quicker option for Old Town: Commonwealth to Daingerfield to Prince, then E to Patrick

There’s an alternate route that skips the 5 fords and connects to Holmes Run just past them.

Are y’all questioning Dirt’s ability to lead us to certain death?

Sadly, no. My 15 yo will be under his own power and control.

We actually had a pair of tandems at one point so we could ride 2 adults and 2 kids on 2 bikes (a Burley Zydeco Mixte and a Bike Friday family tandem).

But somewhere around 12 years old, kids change from “The tandem is the coolest!” to “OMG — No. just. no.” So we sold the Burley and are keeping the Friday, but only so I can ride it with Mrs. Alcova.

I hope at some point that changes again, though my guess is that point is 25-30 yo.

We just bought a Friday triple (!) from somebody whose kids hit that tandem aversion point. We haven’t taken it out for any significant rides yet but I do wonder if we’ll normally run it assembled as a double — turning that 9.5′ long bike feels really weird!

Count me “in,” especially for the pre-ride, sacramental pancakes.

Am I the only one discouraged by the weather forecast?? Nice job with Rule 9, everyone!

The pursuit of pie transcends all.

[consularrider]

You will be keeping the pie dry for us, won’t you?

Mao’s owner posted a revised route on the Pi Day FB page. Check it out. He promises to lead us to certain Pie!
