Hump Day Coffee Club starts tomorrow!

[Arlingtonrider]

A new weekly coffee club is starting tomorrow at Best Buns in Shirlington, in case you missed the previous post in which Consularrider suggested this great idea. Best Buns opens at 6 a.m., but I expect that most of us generally won’t get there until 7 a.m. or so. Pete will be there starting on the early side tomorrow. Bring your copies of “Best Bike Rides Washington DC” and get page 148 signed by Mr. Dirt hisself! More details are in the Scavenger Hunt thread below.

See you then! I’m shooting for a little before 7, but it won’t be by too much.

A few of us will be there earlier, at least tomorrow. HDCC starts with the first to arrive.

It has started

Great to see everyone today, looking forward to this each week to get to know more folks better, rather than once a month. Good idea to have this.

[consularrider]

Great turnout! Too bad I had to leave to go to work.

Thanks for the monkey bread! It was good to see a few familiar faces, and some pretty pretty bikes. Next time I’ll rely on an alarm other than my 2 year old. I’m still getting back into the early risin’ schedule.

Thanks Kathy for putting this together, and to Pete and Kathy(?) who purchased Monkey Bread for all of us. What a great turn out! Here are a few pics Carolyn took:

Pete warning me not to steal his flask!

vvill showing up just in time.

Yes – thank you very much Kathy. Nice to finally meet you and other forum folks.

Thanks Kathy for organizing. I really wanted to attend but got home too late last night driving back from Massachusetts. Will be out of town again the next two weeks.

That was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who showed up. I think we had close to 20 people at primetime. It was great to meet and welcome some new faces too. Birddog, Andy, Matt, Brad and Caroline (and any other newcomers to the group who I might have missed) – so glad you could join us! We also had some people who rode pretty long distances to be there. I think HDCC will easily become a regular thing.

p.s. Many thanks to Consularrider for coming up with the idea of doing this!

Next on tap – Happy Hour tomorrow at Cap City!

Like 9.30 ~ 10. Whenever really. Ocracoke Coffee.

7 is about as late as I can normally do, so I’ll have to skip this one.

good stuff! Been right there, done just that, going back next year. What a great place to relax. Biggest climb on the island is the yard to first floor of house.
