Beerneurers,

Please see the new thread announcing Sunday’s Doughneuring Extravaganza Ride, which will include Right Proper Brewing Company as its last official stop, sometime between 3:30 and 4:00.

Team 4, and anyone else who wants to ride north with us, is invited to Denizen’s after that, as well–planning to get there at/about 6:00.

See my thread for more details. edelweiss

Stopped at another Hinnerbäcker, this time in Bad Vilbel for my Kaffee Crema. The only donut they had was the Apfel coated with cinnamon and sugar with a soft apple filling.

Earlier this week I rode by a food cart that had a mini donut pooper, but didn’t stop for a sample.

I am not sure I would stop for a Donut Pooper, either!! Sounds horrible.
Nice work, though, finding all the doughnuts in the greater Frankfurt area!!

Just days away, NOW is the weekend to get some Mardi Gras doughnuts!
The challenge is to find and enjoy one or more of the following:
Classic Beingets (hint: Bayou Bakery is a ringer for these puffs of delight)
An actual Mardi Gras doughnut, green, gold, and purple sugar or sprinkles in the icing
A part of a Ring-shaped King Cake (bonus if you get baby Jesus)
And,
Enjoying your entry while wearing bead necklaces is a bonus with photo proof.

Fat Tuesday, Fashing, Fastnacht, Mardi Gras, whatever you call it,
it is begging you for a Doughneuring indulgence before Lent begins!!

Let the Good Times Roll!

Doughneurers,

You have all been quiet this week, recovering from the Extravaganza, I am sure.

But 3 days of weekend, promising excellent cycling weather, beacon us out to pay homage to our country’s Presidents. And what better way to do that than by indulging in a famous “Berliner” doughnut??
[ATTACH=CONFIG]13808[/ATTACH]
Go for a ride, acquire a Berliner, and enjoy it while you ponder not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. Bonus for patriotic kit or socks. Full points, even at repeat venues.

Mini-Berliners count if you are not yet up to eating a whole jelly doughnut. Non-jelly filling is ok, but you can’t submit a ring-shaped doughnut and call it a Berliner. Powdered sugar, crystalline sugar, and glaze finishes are fine. Combine it with a German beer if you like.

You have all weekend. e

I love the label on this one. Hopefully I can find a bottle of this locally.

LABEL #10, the Edelbrau!
Yes, such lovely Edelweiss flowers decorating this nice label!! e

OH NOOOOOO!

Don’t think we were to blame but the Dunkin donuts next to my work ran out of donuts today. Oh no, what is everyone going to do…

My Devoted Followers!

You were amazing! What a wonderful day to pedal around DC and seek out lucious doughnuts. It was delightful to meet all of you, and to enjoy the company of my awesome Snowflake Teammates, too. I think we really did ourselves proud, I have no idea how many doughnuts were consumed, but I am sure it was a lot! Big Kudos to Millie for providing the Pop-Up Doughnut Stand just when we needed it most!

So, what do you say? Let’s do it again! Doughneuring Extravaganza II, Virginia Edition is being planned as I type! Save the date, I am thinking March 11th–to be confirmed as the weather prediction is more reliable. You can speculate about what additional Pointless Prize opportunity will be worked into this Ride.

OH! I totally forgot to mention that Hains Point will be featured on this ride! A least one lap, maybe two doughnuts around the river.

Yours in Doughnut Solidarity, e

Timing of the caravan is a wild guess, but here goes:
9:00. 202 Donuts, depart by 9:25
10:30 District Donuts in Cady’s Alley, Georgetown departing by 11:00
11:30 a 11:40. Sugar Shack, Glebe Rd, Arlington
12:30 wild guess that we will be in route or at Astro Doughnuts on G Street NW somewhere around 12:30 – 1:00. Departing by 1:something…
Timing really falls apart by now, depends on how many people are in the group, ordering sandwiches, pace of the group…
But
Pedaling across town and heading up the ART between 1:30 and 2:15, getting to Dunkin in Hyattsville around 2:30 unless we amaze ourselves and get there by 2…
45 minutes around to Silver Spring, at Tiramisu in the 3:00 range??
Finish back in Bethesda, top of the CCT at whenever…

Doughneurers!

Not all doughnuts are sweet confections. Some are a bit cross-over, like Maple Bacon, but for the true Doughneuer, there are true savory doughnuts.
This week’s challenge is to indulge in one! Luckily for all of you joining in the Great Extravaganza tomorrow, Astro Doughnuts (coincidence that we will be there around lunch time??) offers a magnificent savory doughnut sandwich selection.
Known secondarily for their fried chicken, Astro’s offers several Chicken doughnut sandwiches.
Old Bay Chicken on a doughnuts? Buffalo Chicken doughnut sandwich? If you dare and eat meat, take the savory challenge!

See you all on Saturday! This will be epic. e

I endorse the Arlington Road option. The traffic is worse, mind the crossings! My WABA Montgomery County Advocacy Committee has been working to get this route made into a protected lane for bike, using a road diet, as the natural way a cyclist would want to get to 202 or to the Trolley Trail. The County accepted the concept and penciled it into the Master Plan, with committing to build it anytime soon.

Here’s a map.

The thin blue line is the CCT. The heavy blue line is the route from the CCT to 202 Donuts
The red circled section is where you ride against traffic on the sidewalk.

Alternatively, you can turn left as you exit the trail on Bethesda Ave. & turn right on Arlington Road. Bear slightly right at the light at Old Georgetown (changes names to St. Elmo’s) and then right at Fairmont. This is the way I would go, shown in green.

This donut ride sounds totally fun….thanks for organizing! I just want to make sure we know where to find you…I see it’s at 9 a.m. at 202 Donuts, 4901 Fairmont Ave. in Bethesda.
For those of us who view Maryland as a foreign country, can someone explain exactly where this is? If we ride up the Crescent Trail, where do we get off and how do we locate the 202 Donuts place?
Thanks!!! w&w

Hi Wheels,

If you look at the map and cue sheet Ricky d. made for me, you can see that we will be leaving 202 and riding to the CCT at the start of the ride. You should be able to follow the map in reverse to get FROM the CCT up to 20 Donut cafe. Let me know if that doesn’t help.

Essentially you want to exit the Trail at the Woodmont intersection and take Woodmont up to Fairmont–this involves riding on the sidewalk for the bit of Woodmont that is one-way in your face. Turn left on Fairmont, The 202 Donut cafe is a block and a half ahead on your right!! Look for the bikes.

See you at 0900. We will plan to roll out around 9:20 or so. e

Note: a doughnut with Wings:

ANOTHER CHANGE to the final 10 miles of our route.

After another visit to Shortcake today, I was unable to convince them to add doughnuts to their menu. So they are chopped. Instead, we will wave to the little castle as we pedal past, and continue another mile to the West Hyattsville Dunkin Donuts.

Another Dunkin, you are wondering? NO, NO!! Instead of DD in Silver Spring, we will now be going to the delicious Ethiopian-owned, Italian-inspired Tiramisu Bakery and Cafe on Eastern Avenue. In addition to their famous “doughnut-family” Millefeulle pastry, they have really great COFFEE, and they have GELATO! I think it will offer us sweet relief after all of our doughnut stops. It is also pretty close to the SS Metro, for anyone taking the easy way home.

My Team 4 Snowflake buddies are retooling the mp for us (Thanks!). It will be posted before the ride.

Look, this could be us after the snow tomorrow, multitasking Freezing Saddles and Doughneuring. Does any else think this could be Rod Smith? We shall see on Saturday!

Ride safely in the “snow”. Kate
