Kidical…

It was a great Father’s Day ride! Thanks for setting it up, Dasgeh.

And with all of this energy, on to the next ride. July 21, 2013

There are a couple of options for routing between 2 spraygrounds, but I had another idea:

We could do a loop that starts and ends at Virgina Highlands, the new sprayground, which opens at 10am on Sundays. That means we could meet at 9am ish, bike around this pretty flat loop, and be back around 10am. It’ll be July, so earlier will be better. The downside is that the loop is 5.5 miles. I can’t figure out a shorter loop, and I can’t find an out-and-back that’s flat, interesting, etc.

What say you? Should we go crazy and have a longer, flatter ride, which would include the airport, lots of boats and the Pentagon?

Press is awesome. Thanks, Mark. http://arlington-va.patch.com/articles/joining-the-bicycle-social#youtube_video-14804763

There’s even a video of us all being safe and legal. I count 25 bikes and 37 people. Whoo-hoo!

Great ride, but the new patch layout broke the video, or Mark took it down before I could watch.

Here’s the video (Thanks, Mark!) http://vimeo.com/68553547

And STRAVA: http://app.strava.com/activities/60725972 Apparently it was faster at the front of the pack.

Ha, yeah you guys are so mean! Actually, I was in the pack the whole time but I had forgotten to start Strava until about a mile or so in. So, after I got home I manually edited the GPX and re-uploaded and it seems to have messed up the time.

Only counts with a kid or two on the bike.

Damn, you beat me 13 seconds! I should have drafted more to conserve energy for the final sprint.

I’d blame it on the reverse pedaling going on behind you.

Why do I have an urge to watch Keystone Kops? Or Benny Hill.
