What the f*** are you going to do with a car left at the top of Independence Pass?

Ride back up and get it, of course.

USAA has a similar and in some respects better program (e.g.,towing distance) available for around $14/yr if you’re a USAA member or eligible to become one through some link to the military.

You might want to add at the top that the ending times for some of the coffee clubs (e.g., FCC and HDCC) often run later, depending on who shows up when.

I take the street there sometimes too, but was also thinking about peds with strollers, people in wheelchairs, etc.

Don’t forget … Tomorrow. 12:15pm at the CABI station near the Smithsonian metro on the Mall.

Just bumping this up in case anyone else wants to join us! (Oops! I did that before I noticed that Cyndi did the same thing below. Now you’re doubly notified.)

[Arlingtonrider]

This reminds me – an additional curb cut is needed on the southwest corner of the intersection of South Glebe and Jefferson Davis Hwy for those crossing Jeff Davis. Right now there’s only a curb cut designed to help the crossing S. Glebe. The awkwardness of that has become very noticeable lately with the trail detour.

See you tomorrow!

[Arlingtonrider]

I’ll plan to join you, barring any unexpected meetings. Thanks, Cyndi – great idea!

[Arlingtonrider]

So sad that you’re leaving. We’ll miss you! Please post something now and then and let us know how you’re doing and about the biking scene down south.

[Arlingtonrider]

Good morning HDCC pals, from me here in Oklahoma. Miss you guys. What’s this nonsense about a deluge just before and on BTWD?! Dave, I hope you’re feeling better. Enjoy a scone for me.

[Arlingtonrider]

Oh no!!! Just saw this and am so very, very sorry! I’ll be out of town most of this coming week but please let me know if there’s anything I can do for you and Karen after that. Hope you heal up fast. We’ll miss seeing you on the bike, but maybe you’ll join us for things you can get to by car once you’re feeling a little better. Know that we’re all keeping you in our thoughts!

Maybe a new thread title would help, e.g., Friday happy hour this month on BTWD?

(Thinking that calling it a BTWD Happy Hour might lead to hundreds showing up expecting freebies/swag, etc.)

Thanks so much to everyone who joined us yesterday and made the evening so much fun. It was great to catch up with old friends who I hadn’t seen for awhile and to meet some new ones. I didn’t take an official count or get any photos, but I’m pretty certain we had over 20 people there for much of the evening. Really enjoyed seeing you all!

[Arlingtonrider]

Just in case anyone is wondering, it’s ridiculously nice outside. I’m planning to meet Dirt there shortly.

I think I will be there but probably not til about 6:30 or so. Dang, going by this morning’s ride, that patio is going to be cool, and here I am like a sucker without pants!¹

We can easily move inside if it get too cool on the patio.
