I can vouch for everything being safe until you get to Diagonal–Rootchopper showed me the way last happy hour. Valley is hilly, but totally doable. The hills are moreso long, but not super steep. Just make sure your bike has good brakes for the steep downhill on Braddock right before Russel.

Once you hit diagonal it might be great, I have no idea. I’ve just never taken it.

Thanks! I’ve tried Diagonal once so far, including the tunnel under Duke St. to Dulany. I walked it after reading reports about security guards yelling at cyclists to dismount, but it was ok.

Nice to know I have the option of hopping onto the Metro at Braddock if the climb up Valley wipes me out.

Will do my best to join… but cannot commit as of yet. Let’s say 70% in…

Bump up. Weather is looking good! @Arlingtonrider 119747 wrote:

I’m planning to make it on Thursday too.

I’d really like to attend! How late do folks stick around for? I may not be able to get there until after 6pm…

Generally until they have to call the cops.:rolleyes:

(Happy hour ends at 7 I think and I’m sure I’ve paid for some full-priced beers.)

That’s because, as you can imagine, no one would buy one for him.

I will be there.

Pay for beers? Hmm….
If memory serves me right, some Forum members have been known to save $$ by consuming leftovers from random glasses found on the bar tables…

Ah, I’ve heard of that game: “Hey, I forgot which of these glasses is mine! Guess I’ll just drink from the fullest-looking one.”

Or are you referring to going around and actually drinking leftover beer? Warm beer + backwash + desperation = not something I want in my system

Sorry to be a little out of touch these last couple of days. Tomorrow is looking great! I’m planning to call Cap City with our estimated count later on this evening as the patio is likely to be very popular on such a nice day.

Kitty, GeneralSilver and any other newcomers, I hope you’ll be able to make it! Please let me know or post if you have any questions. And don’t worry if you can’t get there right at 5 pm. We’re usually going pretty strong 6 to 7 pm and beyond.

If anyone else would like to join us (and maybe earn some more points for the NBC!), please let me know as soon as you can. See you all tomorrow!

I can’t make it to Shirlington until 7:15ish, but I’ll stop by and say hi if you all are still there.
