Rides, gatherings, and events for FS 2019

[komorebi]

Time to start a new thread for FS 2019. If you’re planning a ride, gathering, or other event for your team (or for all FS participants and friends) and want to invite along anyone who would like to come, post details here. Also, post it on the FS Calendar. If you need editing rights to the calendar, talk to Steve O.

I’ll go first.

New Year’s Day ride to see holiday light installations

When: Tuesday, January 1, 2019, starting at 4:30 p.m.
Where: The Grounds, 1102 S. Eads St., Arlington VA 22202. (I’ll be at the Whole Foods across the street starting at 4:00 p.m. if anyone wants to grab coffee beforehand.)
What: Ride to see three sets of holiday light installations: Impulse in Crystal City, some of the installations at Georgetown GLOW, and Light Yards at Yards Park. The route is at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29098440. Social pace (12-15 mph), no drop. Afterward, I’ll probably stop for dinner somewhere in Navy Yard before heading back to NoVa.
Who: Anyone who wants in on the fun.

I’m in for coffee and sweets and possibly a brew. Probably not any spirits. See you on the 23rd.

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.

Count me in!

Due to Saturday’s forecast, I’m rescheduling the Bakeries, Brews, and Booze ride to Sunday, March 3. A Sunday ride sadly means that Shortcake Bakery won’t be open, so I’m pushing the start time back by half an hour and recommending that people bring snacks. Otherwise, the route and stops remain the same. See details below. If you’re planning to imbibe on the rescheduled ride, please let me know. Thanks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.

Nothing brings out the bad weather like a Komorebi Freezing Saddles Ride. [emoji23]

LAST MINUTE TEAM X FLASH MOB @ PORT CITY BREWING 2NITE!!!! 5:30PM – WEATHER IS GREAT.

There are very few moves to this flash mob dance:

1. Procure a libation
2. Raise glass
3. Drink from glass
4. Put glass down
5. Repeat

No time for a video clip, you can do this. Doesn’t even have to be in unison.
