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)

Given that it seems that The Powers That Be will be catering to my refined tastes and serving the only two kinds of pie I like,* I’ll try to make it—meet up with y’alls in Georgetown, probably.

*Hot and cold

Oh my that is a beautiful picture. I am almost speechless (and that is quite an accomplishment).

Yum.

I’m excited for the ride, but it looks like a small part of the route will conflict with another event. I saw that on Saturday morning will be the Four Courts Four Miler https://www.runpacers.com/race/four-courts-four-miler/map/ in Arlington which will use Wilson Blvd between Clarendon and Courthouse among other roads. It starts at 9 a.m., but I do not know how long any road closures might last. I’ll post something about this on the FB page, too.

I’m really looking forward to all that pi

Hate to be a last minute cancel but I’m not feeling 100% tip top and the thought of riding for a few hours through the rain has lost some of its appeal I guess that means more pie for you! Enjoy!

Many thanks to Bob, Pete, Sol, and everyone else who made this ride happen! I really enjoyed riding the first leg with you all. And thanks, Mike, for pushing me a bit on the WOD so I didn’t miss Sol’s yummy treats!

A great ride! Thanks to all who organized (and bought Pie & coffee!)

[Powerful Pete]

Thanks to all those who organized, marshaled, offered pie, and helped make what have been a dreary day into a great, pie-filled ride.

Echoing the posts above, many thanks to all involved (including my fellow riders) for making this a very fun pi-filled day!

Bummed I couldn’t make it. Pictures look great. Boomer may have told you I am really sick–some sort of intestinal virus it seems.

Hahahah! You took a picture of me taking a picture of my pie! 😎

It was an awesome ride, and a great comeback for me after a couple of weeks off the bike for surgery and recovery. Thanks to everyone who made it happen and everyone who checked with me to make sure I was still doing okay throughout the ride! The cycling community here rocks!

Ya know, everyone keeps talking about how epic this pie day was–3/14/15 etc. But no one ever mentions how we missed an even better one–3/14/1592 6:53:59. I wonder if there was a good bike ride that day?

Probably. After all the witches were burned of course….http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Berwick_witch_trials
