Save the date, July 15: Tour de Pharmacy screening/pool party/Climate Ride fundraiser

[TwoWheelsDC]

Okay, putting out the formal invite. As noted in the other thread, this “event” will consist of a ride from Capitol Hill to Lake Artemesia via the Anacostia trail starting at 3pm (about 25 miles). We’ll regroup at my house to cool off in the pool, then I’ll grill some combination of chicken/burgers/hot dogs. After sunset, we’ll put on HBO’s Tour de Pharmacy on the outdoor projector. I will provide food for the main course and a selection of drinks, but people should feel free to bring additional apps/snacks/sides/drinks. My house has plenty of enclosed (but not covered) room for bike parking in the backyard, so you can leave the lock at home.

The one change to the plan from the other thread is that I’m *suggesting* a donation of $10 from those who stay for the party, which will go to Kitty’s Climate Ride fundraising efforts. I will let someone else handle the money though, and donations will be on the honor system…but if I find out you didn’t donate I’ll hunt you down and deflate your tires at a time when it’d be really inconvenient.

Please RSVP to this thread so I have an idea of how many people will be coming. If the weather is shitty, I will do my best to reschedule.

Date: 15 July
Time: 3pm – whenever people drag themselves out of the pool to ride home
Location: My house.
Cost: Suggested donation of $10, all of which will go to Kitty’s Climate Ride fund

I’ll most likely attend. I live beside Lake Artemesia, so maybe I’ll wait on a bench until y’all come around and hitch a ride back to 2WDC’s place. I’ll bring beverages.

How many situps do I have to do between now and Saturday afternoon to get into pool-bod shape?

All of them?

We’ve had rosé incidents that weren’t too far off from this…

Awesome! I was considering it, but now I can stick with my promise to bring something vegetal.

I’ve got some Dad obligations during the day, so it looks like I’ll miss the ride. But I will be there with my watermelon for the grilling and the screening.

Has anyone ever tried this?! Sounds almost as good as grilled pineapple!

*Also, does it bother anyone else that the grill marks on the watermelon do not match up with the grill’s grill?

I haven’t yet, but that’s largely due to not having decent grill access since I’ve began cooking. I hear good things!

Annnnnd now that you bring it up about the grill marks, it’s driving me crazy! 😡

Those are actually tire tracks from a tiny Maryland driver.

I plan to meet y’all at Lake Artemesia, but I fear I’ll miss you since it’s a little big. I made a map with a few rendezvous points to help (attached below). Just let me know where I can wait and at what time.

If I’m really early and have time, I might ride down ART to meet you instead.

Just wait at #32. They’ll be right along.

I suspect we’ll roll into the park around 430pm. I think we’ll be hard to miss.

Oh, for those coming after the ride, you can get in the backyard through the side gate to the left of the house.

Ladies and gentlemen!!! I have found the beer for tomorrow’s festivities! BEHOLD!

Also we are sitting at a mere $230 from the #ClimateRideKitty goal of $3,000! Let’s see what we can do!
