Tim Johnson’s Ride On Washington: Come Ride With US!!!! HOLD THIS DATE!

[Tim Kelley]

The BikeArlington team will be attending the National Bike Summit (which is what this ride is in conjunction with) and we’ve been kicking around the idea of doing the ride in from Baltimore too. Looking forward to it–thanks for getting the word out, Pete!

[DaveK]

Would love to if I can swing it… maybe I’ll just take the day off to come ride with you guys.

[Arlingtonrider]

I’ll plan on joining you somewhere!

[eminva]

I will also join you somewhere. I will also make a donation whenever I next sit down and attend to my personal finances (same for you for the Climate Ride, Zanna!).

I looked at the Tim Johnson Facebook page and saw those cool bike bumper stickers — do I get one of those? It seems I may grow old waiting for the Rapha Festive 500 patch, so I need some shiny thing . . .

Marked it on the calendar. I’ll try to spread the word in the College Park area and along the route (Greenbelt, Hyattsville, Catholic U…)

I should have some brochures from Bikes Belong in a few days. I’m going to do some kind of pre-ride event at both FreshBikes in Arlington and hopefully Proteus (I’ll show up at a Thursday Potluck and talk up the ride a bit).

Liz, I’m pretty sure I’ll get a couple of those stickers from Victory Circle Graphics. I’ll save one (or two) for you.

Lots more specific information will be coming soon. I’m gonna go scout some stuff early this afternoon.

Thanks y’all for your donations!!!! (@Zanna: I’ll get you for the Climate Change Ride too!!! I wish I could do that one… It is a fun ride, but I just don’t have the time off.)

Sounds great – I think I should be able to make it.

Looks like we’ve got a pre-ride event set up with Proteus (Details forthcoming).

I’ve got one more evening pre-ride event in the works on the NOVA side. Nailing that down soon.

Thanks y’all for your support and for joining in.

Dirt, our shop ride yesterday took a route that highlighted some of the DC bike infrastructure: Anacostia tributary trails, Met Branch trail, R street crosstown bike lane (westbound only, Zanna), 15th Street cycletrack, and Penn. Ave bike lanes to get to the Mall area. Here are some video clips:

You, mr Greenbelt, sir, are not a horrible person at all.

[Dirt]

The video is great, sir. Thank you! It definitely helps. It will be interesting to see what the trail dynamic is going to be. We might have 50+ people just riding along. When it comes to the streets, I venture to say we’ll be taking the lane. Bikes Belong!

Thanks for posting – I’ve put it on my calendar. Not sure yet if I’ll take a 1/2 day off or full day. See you all there!

[consularrider]

I’ve got it on my calendar, but can’t be sure I’ll get the time off. Also have to work out the logistics of getting somewhere to join the group.

[Greenbelt]

Looks like this thread got washcycled today. http://www.thewashcycle.com/2012/02/thursday-morning-commute-.html

Nice! I’ll get the announcement out about the pre-ride events at Proteus and hopefully FreshBikes in the next day or so.
