    Just as a heads up; I usually hit the WOD at VA ave in Falls Church, right about 7:20, and head west in to Reston. My commute is 14.9 miles each way and we dont have a shower where I am. (for whatever that is worth). I do have a place to cool down, wipe down and change tho. My depart time changes tho, so I’m hit or miss on the way home.

    I Heart My Vaya its a little on the heavy side, but for a commuter-light tourer, its great. It works as a CX racer, but only barely.

    Crossed paths and had a nice exchange, although brief with Eminva this morning at the top of Virginia Lane crossing 66. I was having a bad day on the bike but her smile got me the rest of the way in a much better mood!

    Apparently I was just in front of you by only a minute or 3.

    I should be able to stop by for a quick cup. I’ll be there on the earlier side.

    We only rode 40 miles (on skinny road tires) out of your 117 mile self supported ride on your fixed cx rig with super fat tires and about 20lbs of gear. That was hardly fair.

    Thanks for getting us out there, it was enjoyable even with the rain.

    Yeah! What he said….

    You; bike commuter futzing with your gear on the side of the trail

    Me; “you ok?” as I ride closer

    You:

    Me; “need a hand?” slowing as I get closer

    You:

    Me “got everything you need?” coming to a stop as I just pass you at a crawl

    You: taking ear bud out ” yeah, yeah” gives me a thumbs up

    Me; (to myself) **grumble** take your %#*$ earbud out **grumble grumble**

    I get most of mine when the tires are on their last legs and need replacing. That does include the odd screw or piece of glass, but those are definitively the exception to the rule. That said, I now fully expect to get a flat within 3 mins of the next time I get on a bike.
