Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Don’t jinx this ride! If the forecast changes and it ends up pouring on Sunday, it’ll be all your fault.

Komorebi, what time do you expect to arrive at The Block?

Chinese New Year is coming up, which sounds to me like a perfect excuse to check out the new Asian food hall (The Block) in north Bethesda.

When: Sunday, January 26 at 1:00 p.m.

Starting point: Jefferson Drive entrance to the Freer-Sackler Gallery. The Freer-Sackler is doing its sixth annual Lunar Year celebration from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., so get there early if you want to check out the festivities before the ride.

Route: We’ll ride to The Block, where you’ll be able to score #tacoloco or #slurpyride points if you so choose. (Personally, I’ll be going straight for the matcha Oreo ice cream.) We’ll then circle back and finish at the Kennedy Center’s special display of Winter Lanterns. The route is about 34 miles, with a mix of trails and streets and some hills: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/31772102. Social pace, 12-14 mph. If you’d like to do just one leg of the ride, The Block is close to the White Flint metro station.

What to bring: lock, money, Strava, lights, metro card if needed.

My guess is that we’ll be at The Block from 2:30-3:15 ish. If you’re willing to PM me your email address or phone number, I can send you an email or text message with a link that’ll allow you to see my real-time location once the group starts rolling. That might make it easier to meet up.

PM sent, thank you!!

There’s a Strava art ride listed for Saturday 2/8, but it doesn’t say who’s leading it. Anyone know? My best guess is Dave P…. maybe I should ask him….

Also I’m thinking of going…. Is anyone else?

This is the ride description:

It’s hard to think of a more fun way to get BAFS points. A bike ride that makes a picture! This event is open to all freezing saddles riders

Strava/GPS Art Ride
Saturday Feb 8, at 9:30 AM Meet at Italian Store at Spout Run

This is a 12 mile ride that is a combination of secondary and residential streets and the Custis Trail. You’ll have to do the ride to see what it is, so it will be a mystery until you post your ride(s) This is a no-drop ride, avg speed 10-12 mph. You must be comfortable riding on Lee Highway and Washington Blvd, but nothing busier than that.
Bonus…..Donut stop! Along the route
