This winter seemed pretty dry. The wind, though, ahh, when will it stop?

Yep, that is exactly what I was saying as looking at the 30 MPH winds forecast for 5pm. That just didn’t sound like something I could take on a Friday afternoon despite Dirt’s directive to go “punch holes in the wind” at any and every opportunity!

Dana, Dickie, and Consularrider at Friday CC II

You all are much more committed the me. I just couldn’t get motivated to ride in damp, grey, 20-30 mph NW wind weather.

Those are the Vees… What size? I can’t read.

40mm. With them on, the bike just looks like it wants to go play on some trails!

Gettin’ ready.

This is cool. I didn’t know about this … Excited to do this!

While trolling Cragislist for who knows what I saw this: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/bik/3820106313.html. Now here is very, very pretty vintage racer. Look at those lugs! ShawnoftheDread should be your size no?

I just looked at the routes, it’s not a loop so do people just go back the way you came? 40 mile route = 80 mile ride?

They are arranging shuttles. You can see details on the registration page and how to pay for a shuttle. My plan was to drive to Lake Fairfax and park there. Then pay for the one way shuttle for me and the bike to Laurel Hill. Other option, if anyone is up for riding with me, is to work out our own shuttle.

If you’ve ridden the trails at Accotink, that gives you an idea of what to expect.

I’ll hit that this weekend on the Viaje and see how it goes. Stay tuned for pictures and a summary.

Based on feedback I’ll register for Epic now and just make which bike to ride a game day decision. Options are good!

The Volagi it is then, especially is dcv will join me on his CX bike!

The biggest knobbies I think I can fit are 40mm. I’ll put them on there this week and try to find some trails over memorial day weekend. I’ve ridden the C&O a bunch with just my regular 32s and the Viaje always handles that without issue.

dcv — pm me to coordinate. I’m away Thurs-Sat pm prior but will be ready to go on Sunday.

Dickie and I must pass each other every morning somewhere along the W&OD or Custis in opposite directions. Do we ever see each? No. Takes a morning when we both happen to decide to take the scenic route before we finally cross paths. Good day for a long ride and good to see you!

[KayakCyndi]

Nice riding with ShawnoftheDred and DismalScientist this morning. There was nothing dreadful or dismal about the morning! Free swag at the Crystal City bike to week stop too.

[KayakCyndi]

Definitely warrants an “Oh-No”. So sorry. Hope it all heals up quickly.

Friday Coffee Java Shack! Bagels and Beagles.

Who can resist Bagels and Beagles? I might make it. Heading to Williamsburg tomorrow for Saturdays Cap to Cap so will depend on how much I still need to do to get ready.

How about the Giro Air Attack Shield or for your time trials the Giro Selector?

That would come in handy soon when those billion cicadas hatch!

Lest we forget THE WIND UGH

Oh no worries there. I still have nightmares about it and feel the need for long rides wherever weather.com says winds of “light and variable”!
