Team 14 gather round and sound off.

[Rockford10]

Hi. I’m not quite sure the ride is for me. I don’t ride fast and don’t typically ride with people besides my family (now that Nimish lives across the country!). I can get to Java Shack and can get to Duffys and perhaps its best if I just meet everyone there?

I ride a grey Salsa Vaya with red bar tape, full fenders and a rack. I’ll be the one in black tights and a fluro yellow jacket.

I will confirm numbers and heads by Thursday.

(Jeanne – on Team D-Rock, do you know Boomer? That’s Boomer’s name for my husband (DKel) and me.)

hey, yes, unfortunately I am acquainted with Boomer !! Kidding. Anyway, maybe we could ride together. I’m not very fast, and also haven’t been riding much. I might ride in on Sat. and metro home. So let me know if you want to do that.

Kathleen and Jeanne – Do not want to discourage either or both of you from riding with the group. It’s a social ride, not a need for speed ride. And, honestly, I’m fine riding “slow.” I do it all the time on the Revolution Cycles Sunday rides as lanterns rouge/last wheel. If 12-14mph is do-able for y’all, no problem. However, if you’re more comfortable going on your own and meeting the rest of us (however many or few that is) at Duffy’s at noon, that’s good too. There are much shorter routes to Duffy’s if that works for you. Just let me know so we can plan accordingly. But really hope you can ride with the group.

I’m still planning to join y’all starting from Javashack. You won’t have any trouble finding me – I’ll probably in full-fred mode with my bar mitts and Christmas lights:

Just want to confirm Duffy’s on Saturday starting from Java Shack, it’ll be me(left) and my +1(right). Yet to decide which bike, but most likely my Fuji CX

Look forward to seeing everyone!

Rockin’ it on the holiday lights ride! BTW, that’s me (with the Santa hat) and my wife (Karen with the blue helmet) behind you in the background.

Love the ugly sweater jersey! Looks like pic is at Hains Point 100. I was doing tech support for Rev at the ride.

I do recall seeing you there. Nice! Speaking of Hains Point, anyone going to HP100 HH tonight?

I plan to be there.

No. I did a ride in the ‘hood and then hit the gym.

Sorry – I’m out for Saturday. My afternoon thing turned out to be a lunch (need to be in Gainesville at 11:30) thing. Another time? Happy Hour at Clare and Don’s in Falls Church one night? Coffee ride?

OK, gang … Here’s who I have riding as of this morning:

Me +1 (my friend Ben who is not riding BASF)
HF +1
Jeanne +2 (damn infiltrators!)
Chris
Carlos +2 (not BASF riders)

So 11 total. We have room for a few more. Anyone else???

Looks like we should have decent weather, i.e., dry and some sun. Temp will probably be in the mid-30s when we leave. 40-ish my noon.

To reiterate the plan:

Leave from Java Shack in Arlington http://commonwealthjoe.com/pages/the-java-shack at 1030. If you want to score Coffeecatting points, get there early enough to be able to roll at 1030. I’ve mapped out a ride on Strava https://www.strava.com/routes/7396076 that’s ~17 miles from Java Shack to Duffy’s. You can download TCX or GPX file if you want to put it on your Garmin or other GPS device. Involves a lap of Hains Point that we could skip based on group consensus. Relatively easy ride. No big climbs. Bike trail and city streets. Riding “easy” with some stop-and-go in the city, we should be able to get to Duffy’s by noon-ish. Indulge in wings and your choice of beverage (just remember you have to ride back!) Not discouraging a group ride back, but I’m fine with everyone making their way back via the best route based on where they’re going. I will probably go back via U Street to Florida Avenue to P Street and then shoot down to the G’town waterfront to come back into Arlington via Memorial Bridge.

Looking forward to meeting and riding with everyone! This will be fun.

I recognize that bottom picture! That’s the one you took of your bike at the Grand Canyon before it almost plummeted off the ledge
