The glow in the dark centerline stripes would be terrific for my daily ride through Rock Creek Park. Heck, any centerline stripe would be great there…

Can this be added to the first post in this thread so you won’t have to keep posting it?

Sorry Ochos, I’m out of the country (lounging on a beach, logging swims)- just joined the team but won’t be riding until week 2… Hans will represent for me, I’m sure…
Enjoy the warmth! But that will make the shock of winter riding even more severe.

DCAKenParticipantI just passed the 4000 mile mark on my ride to work this morning, the first time I’ve reached that milestone. A few years ago I was about 100 miles shy of 4000, but couldn’t get the extra miles in when we got hit by the big December snowstorm.
December 5, 2012 at 3:47 pm in reply to: Freezing Saddles: Winter Bike Challenge (sign up open) #956859DCAKenParticipantI’ve signed up also. I’m 1224809. Hopefully the forecast of a snowier winter won’t put too much of a dent in my riding.
DCAKenParticipantDear Mr. Lexus driver,
If you intend on making a right turn, get into the right lane first.

I do it because I don’t want to stop and have to get started again.
This line of reasoning always makes me roll my eyes. Why are you on a bike if you’re going to complain about the effort of pedaling? Would you accept this excuse from a driver who rolls through a stop sign or light to conserve gasoline?
DCAKenParticipantAnother thing to think about is how well the light puts the beam on the ground in front of you. A well designed light will have a more focused beam that doesn’t scatter light everywhere. Peter White Cycles has a good page that compares the output of many lights that they sell.

Probably because no sane people bike in Bailey’s Crossroads.
I’ve cycled to that store a few times as I went out to visit one of my friends in Lincolnia. I would take the W&OD trail to Columbia Pike, stop at the store, then continue on Columbia to Braddock Road. I was making my trek out there to refinish a set of chairs and a dining room table and he had a great garage space to work on the project. To get back to DC, I come back on Edsall Road, get on South Van Dorn to Eishenhower and making my way back to the Mt Vernon Trail.
DCAKenParticipantNow I hope they start smoothing out the moguls on the rest of the trail, especially on the ones just south of the Massachusetts Avenue bridge
DCAKenParticipantMe: Heading north on Connecticut Avenue at S Street
You: Driving a black Jeep Cherokee
There I was, stopped at the light for S Street, in the right lane but in the middle to give space to those who wanted to turn right at the light. A quick glance in my rear view mirror just showed a Toyota Rav4 behind me. Once the light turned green, I started moving to the right and climbing the hill, and you suddenly appeared in my life. You were close to being the last thing appearing in my life as you laid on your horn, passing me on the right. It’s not that you wanted to turn right on Florida Avenue…you just wanted to get by the long lines of traffic in the other lanes to flirt with me until you zoomed left across two lanes to continue northward on Connecticut.

Fairfax LGBTQA Democrats

Women’s Care of Arlington, Dr. Will BurchThere are lots of Maryland organizations that also participated, so it’s not just a DC jurisdictional festival

In what jurisdiction is the Capital Pride Festival located?
It’s not just for DC groups. There are quite a few Virginia organizations at the festival.
