Unsupported Group Rides, Ok???

[ewilliams0305]

I like to get new people out on rides. Is it “OK” to post unsupported “events” or groups rides here? I’m not looking for Bike Arlington, the Forum, or My self, to be responsible for liability.

(and by events I meant me and my bicycle and anyone who dare to show up and ride with me)

You should come to Monday Morning Pancake Club! (Since we’re off topic.)

While I do my best to stretch out my commute 34 miles to get to work in silver spring from silver spring by 8am, a bit much. I’ll keep it on my radar should the opportunity arise. Sounds like a good time. I’d be better off riding an all nighter and ending with some pancakes. Wait I just gave myself an idea…

Maybe Eric should state in advance that if you ride with him, there’s a good chance that at what you think is the end of a nice long ride, you’ll find yourself 3-states away, with no real way to get home other than riding back through 4 more states.

Through the magic of my BikeArlington blinkie light, I am currently able to travel through three “states” (including D.C.) in under a minute. Because I’m so talented. (Or because I chose the best spot for this.)

That’s like the power of Greyskull, right?

Negative, DC!=State

That’s why I put “state” in quotation marks. For bike travel purposes, I’m treating it like a state. It also makes the sentence simpler: three states, instead of two states and a unique, constitutionally-created, jurisdiction (which doesn’t even appear to be named correctly). [People call it Washington or Washington, D.C., but according to the secretary of the District of Columbia, there is no current official reference to a city of Washington in D.C. any longer. Just D.C.]

Four real states in one minute is no problem. Just don’t run over the Native Americans selling their wares.
