July 31st – Chasing Legends Screening & Happy Hour

[Mark Blacknell]

The last of Bike Arlington’s Two Wheel Tuesday series before the August break will be a July 31st screening of the excellent Chasing Legends, a documentary film covering the events of the 2009 Tour de France. Directed by Arlington’s own Jason Berry (of Gripped Films), it’s a great inside view of Le Tour from the perspective of Team Columbia-High Road.

The screening will run from 7p to 8:30p, at Arlington’s Central Library’s Auditorium (1015 North Quincy Street, Arlington, VA 22201).

RSVP here for the movie. There’s no charge – we just need help figuring out the headcount and seating needs.

After the screening, I’m inviting everyone to cross the street to join me at Car Pool for an informal happy hour. Will I be arranging for drink specials? No! Will I be providing door prizes? No! (What, you think I’m sweet and kind like acc and ArlingtonRider? As if.) I just thought it would be great to share a beer or two on the patio with my fellow #BikeDC friends.

So put it on your calendar. 7p on Tuesday, July 31st. Arlington Central Library & then Car Pool. Make an evening of it.

Quick thanks to BikeArlington folks and Mark to pulling this off! I finally got to meet some of the “other end of the table”-rs from previous Happy Hours and put a few more names<=>faces. At the end of Chasing Legends I was sure I would be riding at least 2 mph faster than usual on my next ride, but by the end of the night I was happy to just get home.
