Friday Coffee Clubs

[dbb]

The original is at ME Swings just west of the Old Exec Office Building
1702 G St NW
Washington, DC
(202) 628-7601

FCC2 is at the Java Shack about 2-3 blocks NW from the Arlington County headquarters building
2507 Franklin Rd Arlington, VA 22201
(703) 527-9556

The event at Swings is typically larger. Both start about 0730, or so.

Hit them both. You might want to check in in at Swings, then swing out to Java Shack. That’s what I want to do, but I never get up early enough.

Okay I am going to force myself to get up early and make it to swings. Nice to have a location to ride to. need to get in some miles anyway. We shall see how this goes.

OneEighth in civilian clothes!? Were you riding the townie with the coaster brake? Sorry i missed this, slept in.

So sad I tried but couldn’t get up, I hate mornings. I am still in my PJ’s. I did set the alarm but just couldn’t do it. Missed you guys.

I was all coastie and not in a hurry. Nice change of pace.

I rolled in late so missed most of the group. Bummed not to see OneEighth in civies.

I tried and “almost” made it to FCC at Swings today, but need to set the alarm just a little earlier. Hope to make it to one soon!

In the meantime, there will be a new Hump Day Coffee Club at Best Buns in Shirlington starting this Wednesday. All are welcome!

Yeah! I just have to get there earlier (say by 7 am) to get in time for coffee and a croissant and still make it to work on time.

[Arlingtonrider]

I’m going to try to be there by 7 a.m. too. Good company and a cheddar bacon scone with my coffee are great incentives.

And the grips match the saddle.
These things matter.

Lovely, lovely bike. Glad I got to see it in person for the first time. I shoulda snuck a pic!

[OneEighth]

Much appreciated. This bike most definitely needs a steering damper when loaded. Half tempted to rig something with a motorcycle damper.
Wish I had just taken the day off so I could hang out longer at both of the coffee stops—I almost never make it to them.
