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.

You have to be careful if he has AeroBaby on the back of the bike. The only words she knows are HTFU and she just keeps yelling them at him…

Oh, I forgot to post that I saw ShawnoftheDread yesterday morning at the 14th St Bridge (well, he saw me actually.) He now has some kool new KoolStop brake pads.

I didn’t want to make everyone envious of my trail-side swag score.

Alas, my balky iPhone camera went off duty this morning, but I saw vvill on the W&OD this morning. Great to see you!

Great to see you too! I think I actually saw you the first time when I was heading down the opposite direction to the start of the W&OD (but wasn’t sure it was you). I don’t usually carry anything with camera capability so no danger panda for us

[happynicky]

great photos. you looked happy at that time

Saw someone on the MVT at Gravely Point and had enough time to say “hi”, but not enough to know who the hell it was.

I also saw someone who looked a lot like GuyContinental on the Custis cut-off that heads into Ballston.

Nice to see y’all!

Yup ’twas me- was going incognito in surprisingly mud-free (if threadbare) kit with road tires and fenders on the cross bike.

Coolness. I also figured out that it was my buddy Cycleboredom that said “Hi Pete” while I was busy dealing with a headache.

I’m finally starting to recognize people a little.

Ok I think I saw:

Dana going up Ohio Drive? around 5:30pm
Dasgeh westbound crossing Lynn St? around 5:55pm (I’ve never met you but I thought I recognized something on your bike.)
Dickie eastbound crossing the Custis bridge over Spout Run around 6:00pm

[dbb]

Indeed. Did a couple of PM laps around HP and a quick run up Ohio before I headed home.

Saw the omnipresent Dirt this am… actually heard him rumbling towards me on those gloriously fat tires whilst I was in la-la land contemplating my navel and the beau-ti-ful morning.

I bet that I pass a number of you most days while I head WB on the Custis & WO&D at about 6am. Sans BA gear or, well, being Dirt with his extremely distinctive bikes and self, it’s tough to ID folks when you are passing at a combined 30-45 mph (Dirt, if I’m going to see him, I see around EFC at 6:20 or so). Who should I look for tomorrow? I want to collect some more Bobs! It gives me a hobby…

I would have said “hi” but I really didn’t wake up until I hit Gravely Point at about the 24km mark of my ride.

I felt bad- you looked like you wanted to say hello but that I scared you away with a serious, yet contemplative scowl (kind of rare for me). I shouted something like “grumbleBORKhiPete” over my shoulder…
