Yo! I’m going on this ride with my teammate!! Great company, riding, beer, close into DC, and the route is already figured out! Oh, and the weather is looking good. Can’t get any easier! Come out and play! (love me some exclamation points!!)

I think work is under control so I get to go on a long ride this weekend. My idea this week is to stop at Elder Pine Brewing after circling Triadelphia Reservoir. The route is about 62 miles from the French School. As usual, the pace will be brisk but sociable; I averaged about 14 MPH last time I did this route, with fast sections on the flats and not fast at all up the hills. Elder Pine has great beer, but no real food, so bring a sandwich or other snack with you or buy something at Passion Bakery, our first stop, to bring with you. Here is the plan:
9:40: Leave Takoma Metro
10:00: Leave French School (Beach Dr. & Woodbine)
Mile 19: Stop at Passion Bakery for coffee & pastries. If you did not bring lunch, buy a sandwich for lunch at Elder Pine.
Mile 39: Stop at Elder Pine for beer and the lunch you brought with you.
Here is the route, from the French School: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/32021483. Add about 9 miles if you are starting from Takoma.
I am on low alert for a work issue, so check here for any last minute changes. If you want to meet us somewhere en route, let me know and I will guestimate a meet-up time.
Hope to see you on Sunday!
