I have the same backpack that sethpo mentioned (except mine is the 22 rather than 18) and it’s great. They are really lightweight and I never carry a laptop so waterproofing isn’t important to me.

Followed some crazy person riding a fixie up Custis on the way home (almost certain it was Dismal)

I should have introduced myself. I was in the hi-vis jacket with the yellow bike (Raleigh R500, yellow handlebar tape, tires have orange sidewalls). I was talking to Paul right in front of you for a bit. Then I got tired of standing still and walked around to take a few pictures.

Oooh I figured that was someone on here but wasn’t sure who. I think you’re the other person in this picture who couldn’t let your bike out of sight: (from BA facebook album)

I saw DaveK, Tim Kelley, all the other ArlCo Daves, Dirt -and I’m sure other forum-all-stars, though I’m drawing a blank now- at the Bikometer unveiling in Arlington. Fun times. Yes, I was late to work. Later than DaveK late to work, which is bad.

I was there in my BikeArlington jersey, but I don’t know what anyone else looks like except TK and Dirt…

Dirt will probably have better pictures, but here’s some from this morning:

(the middle picture also serves as a great example of why the intersection of doom is a problem!)

That stretch of the Custis is easily avoidable on relatively calm streets (except in Rosslyn itself):

Tried this for the first time last night (Rosslyn to Ballston) — it was much nicer than my usual Lee Hwy route, thanks. That initial hill on Key ain’t no joke though

Exchanged waves with Dirt on Washington near Quincy before being passed by a battalion of fire engines!

You’re offering a bike ride with free drinks? Sounds great!!

You don’t need to download anything — connect garmin, open strava.com, Upload Activity, From File, Choose Files. Navigate to Garmin Edge Garmin Activites –> select everythere there.
