Third Thursday

[Steve]

I’m in. Looking forward to it.

For those who are showing up (or at least thinking about it!):

It’s really easy to get to by bike! And, there’s some sort of special on Thursdays (or maybe just happy hour or something) so the beer is really cheap! The wings are pretty darn good. I also had a club sandwich once that I could only eat 3/4 of, so yeah, it’s good. Git’r’done!

What Certifried said. Also, there’s plenty of free parking after 5 p.m. See attachment for details. The garage marked #3 is right behind Cap City, and the WETA garage is just across the street. Bike parking is plentiful throughout Shirlington. [ATTACH]1865[/ATTACH]

I’m going to try my best to be there, work is a little stupid at the moment. Hope to see all of you.

I feel a strange thirst coming on.

Thanks again, Kathy for such an awesome happy hour! Great weather for it too, you must have a direct line to mother nature!

So, as I mentioned at the happy hour, I had a few problems with my Garmin 😡 It didn’t seem to exactly know either A) where Arlington is or how to get there. Seeing the Georgetown hospital was my first clue that it was a bit off.

This was my ride down last time: http://app.strava.com/rides/22642066

This is my ride tonight: http://app.strava.com/rides/25432469

I don’t quite know why my Garmin was confused. When I finally realized how off I was (I really just don’t know DC well at all), I zoomed out to look at the rest of the route. It had me heading down the Clara Barton and, I think, crossing the American Legion bridge. Even after I started to ignore it and head down CCT and just figure out my own way there (not sure why I didn’t pull my Droid out) it still kept trying to tell me to turn around. I don’t know what got it all messed up, the settings all seem to be OK Still made it down, had some wings (yummy!) and awesome company!

Is your Garmin in like…car mode or something? Looks like it wanted you to take the beltway.

It was great to see everybody!

It wasn’t, but I’m not sure about some of the other settings. So I need to look in to those, like “route for time”, “route for distance”, etc. I just want to get there without being put on major road and get squashed. I know the route it had me on that I actually followed could not have been the best. Even Google cycling directions doesn’t take me down HWY 1 the entire way.
