Team 21 – Check in

[shardg]

Hi, for some unknown reason I was appointed as the acting captain for team 21, we can rectify that later, for now let’s get this show started.

I have started a Strava group which you need to join as soon as you can https://www.strava.com/clubs/250616.

Second item to do is to come up with a team name, so fire off your suggestions.

Hope to get together soon,
Steve

Thanks for posting, the beginning of the WOD is in Shirlington, near Shirlington Rd and South 4 mile run. I usually park in the Harris Teeter parking garage in Shirlington Village.

Oh, mile point. Got it. Yeah, I can do the beginning of the W&OD.

10:30 on Monday sounds good!

My name is William. I live close to Shirlington. I commute every day about 8 miles one way to Georgetown. I haven’t been riding much on long rides so I feel a bit out of shape (I struggled on the Custis hills last time out). I started riding more frequently since last March and I am pretty much addicted by now. I ride a Kestrel road bike for my fun/fast rides, but commute on a single speed cross bike. It is my first FS and I don’t like the cold, but I am very competitive, so I will really try to do the sleaze ride even on really cold days.

Okay, 10:30 is fine. MP Zero is here

It is in South Arlinton, the mostly flip flop free half of the County (though Shirlington is probably the most flip flop friendly part of South Arlington? Except maybe Penrose?) The loop skirts flip flop central.

We should probably also plan a DC ride – I want to do the length of the newly extended ART.

I love riding the Antacostia River Trail (ART) to Lake Armenia. It’s a 35 mile ride from Haines Point https://www.strava.com/activities/792543489

If you folks haven’t chosen a name yet and am looking for something Blackjack related, can’t think of a better one than:
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

See you on the trails!
