I am thinking of volunteering for this. I would like to marshall 13 colonies, I am comfortable riding, and I guess leading (or sweeping) in traffic, and the pace of 13 colonies riders should be fine for me. But I don’t have confidence in my ability to do field repairs, even to patch a tube with any speed, especially on a bike I am not familiar with. Alternatively I could volunteer to man a booth. Anyone who has marshalled this have any thoughts on what is required?

I am volunteering for the 13 colonies ride too! Its not too hard

2017 – 35th Annual Reston Century offered by Reston Bike Club.
August 27, 2017

Very cool T-shirt design to celebrate our 35th year!
Parking in Reston Town Center garages free on weekend, so no worries there.
Other distances available: Metric century, metric half-century

Start with the rolling hills of Reston and Potomac Falls. The exact route will depend upon final coordination with local communities. We will keep the much enjoyed large loop from Hamilton to Hillsboro, Lovettsville, keeping the Taylorstown and Stumptown hills, before returning to Leesburg and Reston Town Center. The Metric route is merged with the century route out to Purcellville before returning to Leesburg and Reston Town Center. The Half-Metric route also enjoys the rolling hills of Reston and Potomac Falls before looping around the wide streets in Ashburn.

Hello Night Riders,

It’s looking good for next Saturday night, 2017’s first Midnight Saddles ride. Hope you can make it.
Gather at the Washington Monument at 10:30pm. Roll out 10:45pm

Here’s the route.

Final destination is Brookland’s Finest Bar & Kitchen, which is open until 2:30am on Saturdays.
One of the menu items is a whole pie (serves 6-, which I think we should get. We need to order 3 days in advance. Let me know your preference:

• Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie (my fave)
• Sweet Potato Pie
• Chocolate Cream Pie

We can also request a custom pie if we like, so if you have a suggestion that you think we’ll all like, let us know.

[Billw3]

going to try to bring a few others with me

[Billw3]

80% chance I will be there…

Was not my finest. It started OK as I stopped off at Bikenetic to see Dirt and talk new cross/commuter tires as mine are completely shot and flatting all the time. Dirt was not around but Jan was glad to help out. I left informed but without new rubber for now. Back on the WOD and being careful to elude the dreaded FCPD I slowed at the Grove St. crossing only to be passed by a dude with absolutely no regard for the stop sign. He flew through the intersection just as I was getting clipped in without even a look. He then pulled the ultimate DB move, passing (and nearly clipping) two woman with strollers as they crossed paths with a gentleman walking towards them… yep, four abreast with him at speed. The gentleman yelled and put his hands out for protection and the ladies screamed. I slowed, apologized for his behavior and chased the scum down. As I got next to him (and gestured for him to remove his headphones) I became possessed by a sudden calmness (weird). I decided to politely explain what I had just witnessed and suggested better methods for future situations… he tolerated my intrusion and then I flatted. DANG IT! Luckily it was directly in front of the “Free Air” station on the WOD so I rolled my bike to the station, leaned my steed against the air machine (you can see where this is going), started taking off my back pack when I watched my bike slowly roll forward and fall against the pole…. result:

Needless to say, wasn’t a great ride home.

sorry to hear.

Decided to finally get a Fargo!
