Team 7 thread

[Brett L.]

Sorry guys, I fell off the bandwagon for a week there, 3 missed days and a couple of sleaze rides for a very low mileage week. I ended up moving, which took a lot of energy out of me hence the low mileage. I’m back up to doing longer and more consistent rides again, and we can narrow that gap between us and the devious team10!!

A prof of mine in college was a retired Marine colonel. I recall him griping one day, “I’ve been divorced and I’ve been shot at, and moving is worse than both.”

We are not a team of superstars, but a team of equals. So we can cover each other when life gets in the way of riding constantly (which it shouldn’t).

Sorry I haven’t been able to find a bike to ride or a place to ride it this week. But I did get some bonus oddball animal pics for your amusement. Laurie got the better monkey and bird pictures with her real camera.

Hi guys, I’m doing this ride on Saturday, heading out from College Park at 10am toward Reston (or maybe Herndon) to have a quick lunch with my brother who lives out there. Would welcome company. Bring lock and trail lights for the return in case we’re running late. Infiltrators, social butterflies etc. welcome. I’ll be riding a medium pace — purposeful but not fast, possibly with an outbound stop at Shortcake bakery for a bit of fuel. -Jeff

I am planning at bike share station near George Mason Memorial (mile 17.3) around 11:15. Let me know if you are expecting arrival earlier or late.

David I think we’ll be closer to 11:30 or 11:45 to that point, especially if we take a 15min stop for snacks. I’m planning to leave CP at 10am, but sometimes departure delays etc.

Here’s where we’re meeting for lunch in Reston Town Center: http://midtownkabob.com/index.html in case we miss connections.

Got it. If you are not see me at bike share station (unless earlier than 11:30), keep going cross the bridge to Mt. Vernon trail. I will loop at Mt. Vernon Trail between I395 (mile 18) and Arlington Memorial Bridge (mile 19) to keep me warm and meet you there.

Great ride today — looks like Team 7 had a big day with lots of 80, 90, and 100 mile rides!

Nice to meet you in person David Q!

Jeff, thank you for lead the wonderful ride. And also nice ride with teammates Brett and Keisei again.

Next weekend, Laurie will be out of town doing another bike fitting class, so I’ll be leading the weekend’s Proteus rides. On Saturday, we’re heading from the shop at 10am to Roscoe’s Pizza in Takoma Park for an early lunch. There’s plenty of bike parking and outdoor seating if it’s warm. On Sunday, we’ll do a later-than-usual easy coffee ride to Hyattsville at 12pm. On Monday, the federal holiday, I’ll probably do a 2hr workout ride in the morning, maybe in the Beltsville Farms or maybe down the ART to DC, probably leaving at 10am. All are welcome on these rides — our shop rides in winter are usually just a handful of people, so it’s small and social not a big group or anything. And if you ride all the way to the bike shop to join us, you’ll rack up lots of miles for Team 7!

Here’s the event page for the pizza ride on Saturday (the 18th) https://www.facebook.com/events/1128119467310064/
