The write-up I prepared to go with / explain the route map image I’d pieced together, when I shared it with my family (all non-bikers)…

This is great! I was trying to explain Strava art to my mom (also a non-biker), but your explanation is much better and more poetic.

Ignore the post title: ride has been rescheduled due to weather.

In conjunction with rumipumi (aka Mrs. Maryland Meadworks), I’m organizing a bakeries, brews, and booze ride on Sunday, March 3. All are welcome to join.

The plan:
— Meet at 10:30 a.m. at Velo Cafe in DC, purveyor of local coffee, Acme Pie, and other excellent baked goods.
— Roll out at 11:00 a.m. and take the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail to Maryland Meadworks.
— Do a loop up through U.Md., along Lake Artemesia, and back down to Hyattsville.
— Visit Sangfroid Distillery (just opened December 2018; $10/person for tour and tasting) and Streetcar 82 Brewery (first deaf-owned brewery on the east coast). Neither place serves food, but Vigilante Coffee and Franklin’s are nearby if people need nibbles.
— Since there’s nothing like pie to soak up that alcohol, roll back along the ART to Dangerously Delicious Pies on H Street.
— Return to Velo Cafe.

The route is about 37 miles, mostly trails but also some roads, at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29290890. Social pace (12-15 mph), no drop. Nondrinkers are welcome too.

Directions to the start: the Velo Cafe at District Hardware is located at 730b Maine Ave SW, in the Wharf. The nearest metro is Waterfront. If you can’t find street parking near the Wharf, it’s pretty easy to park at Hains Point and bike over.

If you’d like to join us along the way, let me know and I’ll see if I can get my Garmin LiveTrack working.

Depending on your stomach/liver capacity, you might be able to score points for four separate pointless prizes: coffee, pastries, beerneuring, and spiriteuring.

If you think you’d like to imbibe, please PM me or respond on this thread so that I can let the good people at Maryland Meadworks, Streetcar 82, and Sangfroid know how many people to expect.

Bring snacks, money, and a lock. And a metro card if there’s a chance you might want to metro home.

I may actually be able to make this! I’m a cheap date so I won’t be drinking anything stronger than coffee.

oooh—I have two coupons from them… Used to work 2 dangerously short blocks from them, and was a big fan for awhile — the BEST blueberry cake donut ever!
But my office relocated 4 months ago and I’ve been back exactly 1 time since then. Now, I get “We miss you” coupons… Including a nice 20% off, which I’ll probably use to bring donuts for the office soon…

Perhaps I was going too often, back then, in hindsight!

Team X and LSG dine on DONUTS. Not pictured: Christob50. Good to meetcha, thanks for coming!

I was very sad that a morning meeting kept me from going to Team X’s Sugar Shack meetup. But I did get the next best thing: a flyby with Christob50 while he was on his way to the meetup. That was you on the Potomac Yard Trail, right? Sorry, my caffeine- and sugar-deprived brain didn’t recognize the green FS armband until after we’d already passed.

[ChristoB50]

Yep! I too thought, “Josephine has a full yellow getup—I wonder if that was her?” as we passed!

I met Leo there and we laughed at being the first to arrive, while neither is on a team! The lure of donuts…!
(Eventually others arrived but I had to dash at ~7:40 for work.)
