That’s going to be hard to do and still get out on my bike. :p

Mikey – where are you?
We miss you.

[Steve O]

Team! We’ve fallen to 10th place. It would be good to get back on track with 12-13 of us riding each day. Consistency is key!

I’m thinking a motivational team happy hour is in order.

[consularrider]

Well, we have whine club tomorrow (Saturday) evening at вул. Бульварно-Кудрявська if anyone is interested, it’s byob, no more than 300 грн per bottle.

Schedule permitting, I am definitely up for this. We should do it in DC, since a plurality of our team is there. I don’t mind crossing the river.
If at a brewpub, we can add a beerneuring point.

How about Wednesday February 24 at Shaw Brewpub 624 T St NW, 6pm?

Couldn’t help but eavesdrop on your conversation – your teammate (my wife) and I are planning (though it still may fall through) a kid-hauling pace ride from NW DC up to Denizens in Silver Spring on Sunday, probably just after lunch (they open at 1). That might fit the bill for you. Though Silver Spring is a hike from VA, I think.

This is on tonight. Thanks, Sarah!

(sorry can’t make, sadly: parent schedule change)

Sorry, that’s past my bedtime (1 am in Kyiv). Have fun ya’ll, and good night.

So who’s going? I want to come out but I think I’ll wait out the narrow line of intense thunderstorms that is about to roll through ~30 minutes from now (if my WeatherBug radar map reading skills are not way off).

[DismalScientist]

Nope. That line is going south to north. It may take a few hours to get here and it’s gonna last a good long time.

[lbds137]

It’s definitely here now, and I think it’ll have moved on within an hour. Not sure where that leaves me with regard to the happy hour, but I’d rather stay in than risk it.

[sarahybillington]

I am here, late, but decided to wait out the storm for a bit. Still wet and nasty and the drivers are crap. Should we try again next week?

That’s what I thought, and then it caught me around St Anne’s. The hail was fun.
