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.

Oh wow, I wasn’t aware of this location. I’ve only been to the one on 17th and G.

Also added to the calendar for THIS Sunday @5:30pm:

Trash Panda Food and Drink, Presented by team X (Snow Patrol) and Team 19 (that has no name, really).

Ever wonder what a blue mountain dew margarita tastes like? Let’s all find out together and enjoy this new Taco Bell location that has a (temporary, for now) liquor license.

Some of us will be rolling from Conte’s Bike Shop on King St in Old Town at 5:20ish. Plan is to meet at the NEW Taco Bell Cantina on King St for drinks.

For those in VA I will lead a ride from Best Buns in Shirlington at 845…plenty of parking if you’d rather do a short ride out and back!
