    Details on movie tickets: I purchased 6 extra tix at the staff discount rate of $12 per ticket. First ones to reply to this thread RSVPing will have dibs on these tix. On Sunday, please have exact change for your ticket. For everyone else, I would recommend buying your tix online since this will likely be a sold out showing. You can select the buy tix option by going to the website http://si.edu/Imax/movie/1325. Make sure you select the 5:15pm showing at Lockheed IMAX theater. If there is overwhelming response to this thread by 5pm, I will try to run over to the box office today and see if I can get some more discount tix. Thanks!!!!!!

    Not a great beer drinker but I have to get a bit knowledgeable about the locations since I have a friend coming in who might like to check out a few places! I’m also bringing a friend too if that’s okay! Thanks for organizing!

    I used to work in a bike shop there in Shirlington Village called Metropolis Bikes back in ’96-’98 and would bike down from Merryland once in a while. IIRC, it sat where Aroma sits now. We had 3 huge storerooms underneath the other shops in the plaza filled with bikes and parts where some goofin’ off and unsanctioned races occurred :D It eventually went belly up in late ’98 or ’99.

    Anyways, good seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones this morning!

    I’m sorry I missed you!

    I liked the article! Thought it to be about right although I do have to agree with bobco

    I have commuted to work everyday for about 3 years now..I’m not sure how to get to my office by car any more! [emoji16]

    Here are my motivating hints:

    1) My commute can be as short as 5 miles but I usually do 10 – 16…but just knowing that I could do it in 20 min door to door gets me on my bike everyday…after 2 miles I usually decide to make it longer.
    2) I do have a daughter and at times I need to get home faster so I’ll either do the 5 miles or take an Uber (very rare)
    3) The dark doesn’t bother me on any trail or street, in my mind I tell myself I’m too fast for anyone to stop me…[emoji2]
    4) I have quiet a few shoes, dresses, undergarments and makeup that I keep at the office.
    5) $$ saving…garage fees, gas, car maintenance, parking tickets, and I have little need to join a gym!

    I wish I could go car free…but that kid I mentioned plays softball and I can’t seem to get her equipment to fit in my panniers!

    I joined the Bikenetic C&O ride on Sunday and it was lovely. Until we rode back up 41st St N. Once I hit the switchbacks at the top I forgot to downshift. Combined with my poor slow-speed handling skills (something I really should practice, honestly) I came to a near stop and toppled in slow motion, drive-side down (always drive-side down!). I at least rolled my body as I went, so it was physically painless, but there were witnesses. 😮

    I missed that! Glad you’re okay though!

    Hi team,

    Aaack! We’ve fallen to 9th place. I know we are better than that. If you aren’t getting a short ride in on the days you don’t do a long ride, please do so. We actually have the 6th most miles, but are way down the “Ride Days by Team” standings.
    Once I’m back in the states, we should try to plan another team gathering. The previous “beignets & beers” one was fun!
    Sincerely (from the Cayman Islands),
    Steve O

    Thinking we should all head your way and infiltrate your vacation! [emoji41]

    I’d also like to point out that 5 members of Team 10 were in attendance at Chris’s 1,000 day happy hour because our team loves Chris more than the other teams.
