Chris!
So sorry you missed the rides here this weekend, you would have loved them. Sunny and nice today, great riders, challenging route, doughnuts, pretzels, krapfen with Nutella, beignets, cream puffs, coffee, then beer and real food. A fabulous 2 rides.

Sunday Doughnut Riders,
I think I have all the committed riders in my private text messages, but the undecided among you need to know, we are delaying the start times slightly because the St Patrick’s day celebrants are in need of a bit more hangover recovery time.
We will now meet at Union Market at 10:30 and remain on place, with a group roll out at 11:00. Arrive as you wish. Get there by 10:30 if eating doughnuts, getting coffee, or later if you want stop 2 to be your first yummy treat of the day.
If you are not already receiving the Sunday Mobile Doughnut Alert messages in SMS, and want them, please pm me your phone number I will post our movements and estimated arrival times as we navigate through doughnut land.
Pre-riders should get to Vigilante Coffee in Hyattsville before our 9:30 rollout, I will be there about 8:45.
See you tomorrow!
Edelweiss

Doughnut Riders!

The prediction for Sunday is even better than Saturday! I know we will have a great ride.

I am asking for committed RSVPs, but this will be a Show and Go Ride, so do join in at the last minute if you can’t decide until Sunday morning. Try to PM me by Saturday if you want to be added to the Donut Text Alerts that will be sent out as we navigate around DC.
Let me know if you are joining the Pre-ride at Vigilante (by 9:15am), or at Union Market at 10:00am, or en route.

Those of you who are committed to joining this ride and want to ensure that you get the doughnut of your heart’s desire at B Doughnut (Union Market) are invited to join in a Pre-Order. This pop-up sells out of the unique flavors early, and we probably won’t get there until about 10:00 on Sunday–I need a minimum of 6 doughnuts to place a reservation, if you are in, please respond asap.

Please view the menu here: http://www.bdoughnut.com/menu/ NOTE: There is also a Lucky Charms doughnut for St. Patrick’s Day Still on the menu for Sunday! you can see it on B Doughnut’s Instagram page. To pre-order, please message me with your selection by Thursday night. They offer many sweet, filled, and savory–Bagels & Lox! flavors, as well as 2 vegan doughnuts, many pictured below. You will be required to pay me for the pre-ordered doughnut, cash please. Please do not pre-order if your participation is uncertain. We should get there before everything is sold out! And we have a whole lot more doughnuts awaiting us on Sunday, and those other doughnut shops should have ample options for us as we cruise around DC.

Ride details/route can be viewed in the #donut thread.

DO IT NOW: RSVP to this thread, get counted! Message me if you want to Pre-Order, or if you want to be added to the mobile text Alerts as we move around so you can join us.

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday! Kate[ATTACH=CONFIG]17510[/ATTACH]

Events? How about joining the social Doughnut Rides this weekend?
Surely you have seen the announcements in the #donut thread and the Rides and Events thread?

Help me out, though, and RSVP so I can count the Butterflies and Infiltrators! Kate

Doughnut Riders!

The prediction for Saturday is looking pretty good, and it is St. Patrick’s Day, so I know we will have a great ride. I am sure we will be tempted to eat some Green Doughnuts. Decorating your bike for the day is optional, green attire is encouraged.

I am asking for committed RSVPs as soon as possible; we have a large number of Proteus Riders starting this ride in College Park, and I want a good head count so I can WARN the doughnut shops of our impending onslaught.
Let me know if you are joining the ride at Proteus, Union Market, or en route.

Those of you who are committed to joining this ride and want to ensure that you get the doughnut of your heart’s desire at B Doughnut (Union Market) are invited to join in a Pre-Order. This pop-up sells out of the unique flavors early, and we probably won’t get there until after 11:00 on Saturday. (The Sunday Ride will ALSO make this stop; it is the official ride start on Sunday)

Great!

The VA-DC Ride has been posted. I would love to have more Penguins on the rides!

Doughneurers and Friends of Round Food,

I have worked out a route for us on Sunday! I think this counterclockwise route will be great and not take all day.
The Pre-Ride meeting for coffee is Vigalante Coffee in Hyattsville, we will be there around 8:30, enjoy a brew, and head into DC by 9:15, the route or trails used is to be determined.
The DC meeting point is UNION MARKET, we expect to arrive at or about 10:00am, and will enjoy B Doughnuts, a note about a pre-order will be sent to those who RSVP because these delicious doughnuts sell out fast, and we want some! Meeting will be at the picnic tables outside, assuming the weather is fair.
From B, we will loop through town hitting doughnut purveryors in this order: The Pretzel Bakery; Gregory’s Coffee, Beard Papa’s, District Doughnuts (Cady’s Alley); cross the river to Bayou Bakery in Courthouse; back to DC, all stops at this point are tentative, Astro’s Doughnuts; Right Proper Brewing Company; ride officially ends.
The Marylanders will pedal north somehow with Franklins Restaurant as the target destination. It is across the street from Vigilante.
I can add you to the DC-VA text message if you want progress reports and intend to join us for only some of the stops, please pm me with your mobile phone number.
RSVP, even if it is only a maybe, so we do not inadvertently miss anyone. Please indicate at which point you plan to join, Vigilante or Union Market, or en route.
Riders are welcome to join en route and exit when needed.

Hi Team 19!

I will be flying back to be with you for the final days of Freezing Saddles. I am hoping to meet many of you. Here’s how:
Join in one of the Doughnut Rides I am leading on Saturday March 17 and Sunday March 18th. The details are posted in the Rides and Events Thread, and of course in the #donut thread.

The St. Patrick’s Day Ride begins at 10:00 at Proteus Bikes in Cllege Park, tours doughnut venues in Md and DC and ends at Milkboy in College Park. About 32 miles round trip.
The Sunday Ride be posted soon, but will take in different doughnut shops in DC and Virginia.
RSVP on the thread if you can join a ride.

Also, there is a challenge for the Team with the most riders at the final night Hains Point ride fest. I will be there with some treats, so pedal or drive down with a bike on your rack and we can do a few Penguin Team laps!
If none of those opportunities work for you, I will be at the final Happy Hour on Wednesday night and we will have to take a team picture.

Hope to see you all soon,
Kate. (Edelweiss)

Looks basic, I think you missed the best doughnuts in Beltsville, at Rawlin’s Bakery on Rt. 1. It will be the first stop on out doughnut ride on the 17th. Very sorry you will be back in Germany by then! E.

[Edelweiss]

Oh NO! I believe you are right. No weekends. I now will have to re-route the Sunday ride…good thing my computer ate the message I was just about to post. e
