this was the worst ninja infestation I’ve encountered since the fall’s switch from daylight savings time. Also most of the pedestrians/runners were clearly the fair weather type unused to being out at twilight or after dark.

I was going to post the same thing! I noticed most of the ninjas on the MVT were ELITE. Most of the ninjas on the W&OD were joggers/walkers.

TONS of ninjas! I melted them with my Cygolite.

How did I miss you? I was in a hurry this evening, but still…

No harm, no foul. Having not ridden for much of the month, I was going much slower than you. Good seeing you.

Saw Kelonwheels on 4MR and MVT this morning, looking very pleased with her shorts. My old knees still wanted to be covered this morning.

SHORTS!

Your old knees still dropped me like a hot rock

One day I will have grown-up tires and I will be able to keep up with people!

One day…

We were rolling along nicely and then I lost sight of you amidst the other riders that came to join us. So then I decided to try for a new best time at Gravelly. Stupid other riders — don’t they know that’s OUR trail?

I was really wishing I had shorts on this morninginstead of warmish knickers and over-the-calf mid-weight ski socks. And I should had skipped the warm baselayer on the top.

Probably, I ran into 1/8 at Spout Run and we rode out to Shreve Road. He turned around and headed back to Arlington so maybe you saw him outbound / inbound?

We passed consularrider at Lee Hwy.

Thought I heard my name at one point. You were on foot heading east with a light on a lanyard?
Had an nice steady ride with dcv.
Thought I might have seen Dirt near the Falls Church firestation not long after, but was very slow on the uptake and too far behind schedule to turn, give chase, and ride a bit.
Couldn’t miss consularrider!
Clearly, my schedule needs to loosen up.

Where were your lights? And then I passed Dirt going the other way by the W&OD 4.5 mile marker.

Just doing our part to reduce light pollution, fellow citizen.
Lights came on about 10 minutes later.
