Third Thursday Happy Hour – Aug. 20, 2015

[Arlingtonrider]

August 20 at Capital City Brewing Co. in Shirlington starting at 5 p.m. Save the date! As usual, please try to let me know ahead of time if you plan to come so we can save tables outside. All are welcome!

According to Weather Underground, there is an 80% chance that I will be there… If it does rain, I can be there around 5:00 to help save tables.

I’ll try to make it!

Just in case the weather is iffy Thursday afternoon – the happy hour is a rain or shine event under a covered patio. A few scattered showers, or even a 5 pm drenching, have never stopped us in the past. Rules 5 and 9 apply.

I plan to attend, even if SteveO shows up…

You have the wrong day! HH is Thursday, not tomorrow!

Oops – HH is still on Thursday! Kathy – Thanks for pointing out the error, now corrected.

My mind has been a muddle lately. Apologies for any confusion.

It seems like today’s best chance for rain and possible flooding is right around our happy hour time. We’re on, but please watch conditions closely and stay safe.

I bailed, which makes me sad, but I’ll definitely try to catch you next month!

Anyone interested in a convoy from DC to today’s HH????
Wheels roll from TJ Memorial Capitol Bikeshare station @ 5:15pm, via 14th Street Bridge -> MVT -> 4MR -> Shirlington.
Please sound off if you plan to come along, rain or shine…but canceled if lightening threatens.

Oh man, I’d love to join, but probably can’t make it that early. I’m more likely to roll out around 5 pm.

Four Mile Run is right by the water, coming off of Mt. Vernon Trail. Does it flood as easily as Holmes Run does? Should I consider an alternative DC to Shirlington route?

Yes, 4MR does flood, but it takes quite a bit for that to happen…if so, you can bail out of the MVT at DCA, taking the exit to Crystal City, ride to the sewage plant, and pick up the 4MR trail there (which usually doesn’t flood unless we have a monsoon event).

[Arlingtonrider]

Boomer2u, in view of the weather forecast, I don’t think we’ll have too much difficulty saving tables, so if you want to roll out your convoy a little later (4:30 or 4:45?) , that would be fine. (On the other hand, 4:15 might be better for beating the rain.)

Departure time changed to 5:15pm due to popular demand [emoji4]

Pardon my ignorance, but where (street address) is the meeting place for the Boomer Beer Train (BBT) this evening?
I may be able to sneak out of work to make it there in time…
