Thought I had a Dirt sighting at the end of the WO&D trail today less than a mile from the end of the trail in Purcellville. Then I saw him later and I am pretty sure it was Dirt’s twin complete with pink jersey.

I’m relatively sure that the first viewing (in Purcellville) wasn’t me. I didn’t head that far west. The second sighting might have been me if it was in close to DC. I did a fixie ride on the CCT for a while, then stopped off at the house, changed bikes and headed to work.

Oddly enough, none of my rides were done wearing pink. I was riding for the glory of Freshbikes.

Which way is it to Virginia?

Sorry to hi-jack your thread, Dirt, but I had to make sure everyone saw this awesome pic!

Thanks. I really love that mural. They did a great job with it. I may have to have book club at Rocklands. Do they serve beer?

I just saw the magic words on their menu, “Beer and wine are now available at all 4 locations.” No bear xxxx required.

I was in a line of four riders going south on the MVT this afternoon. I thought we were going fast, when OneEighth blew past us all just before the airport crossing.

DismalScientist spotted going up the Rosslyn hill and then continuing straight on to avoid most of the Custis.

Did you hear me call my pass? Wasn’t sure I was loud enough.
Y’all three were drafting off a friend of mine.
Sorry not to have said hi, but I don’t actually know how to recognize you.

Yes, your call was great. You can recognize me by the creaking and squeaking of my drive train – it’s only quiet in the rain for some reason. I was in the back of the line – two-tone green hybrid with a rack and a rear light mounted to the left seat stay.

He really likes messing with people with gears that way.

Spotted americancyclo and skreaminquadz within 30 seconds of each other near the Custis/W&OD intersection yesterday afternoon.

I caught up with skreaminquadz at East Falls Church and realized we had both seen you as well. we almost didn’t recognize you in non-aero mode.
