I, for one, made a horrible decision and drove in to work today. I would have arrived at work pretty soaked, but nothing worse than what I’ve done before.

Whats the best way to take the crystal city connector south to get back to Del Ray? I get going north, that’s easy. But south always seems like it takes a bit more work. I’ve always taken the Crystal City Connector and then looped up 23rd to Clark to Potomac. Is there a better way? Or is that it?

I usually keep going on down to 26th to get to Clark. It’s that one way section of Crystal Drive between 26th and 27th that throws a wrench into what could be a good route.

I don’t get why they’re making the temporary detours so narrow. Did they forget there’s two-way traffic on the MVT?

And why the sharp bend off of the paved trail rather than a more gradual entrance onto the detour section? The people who designed this need to get out of their offices and experience the havoc they are creating.

Apparently the south National Airport overpass diversion is going to be an up-and-over. Why, when there is unlimited space for the detour trail would it be constructed the same $%&^^%# narrow width as the north overpass detour with its restricted space? I’m taking to Potomac Avenue until this is all over.

Did we meet? I was chatting with a couple of people at the intersection…

The Pope is being driven around in a Fiat 500L? At first I thought “Fiat – Italy…of course” then realized the 500L is built in Serbia.

Images of Spartacus. What are these signs going to be telling me to do that I’m sure I won’t want to, and what is going on with the overpasses?

I think I saw KWL today at the West End Farmer’s market in Alexandria. Or it just could have been another guy with a purple Bridgestone. I was there with the lovely Carolyn and the baby and we had driven there. I didn’t yell out to say hi since I just couldn’t be sure if it was him. But he was tall and wearing a Beaver jersey.

Must have been my doppelgänger. The XO-1 was in the garage all weekend and though I’ve thought about it, I haven’t yet purchased an Oregon State jersey.

I’ll do my best to make the next forum happy hour.

So now i have to save 4 pretzels – one for you and 3 for KWL.

We badgered the waiter into bringing more pretzels so he brought a large stack. I’ve had my fill of pretzels (though the corn dog appetizer is what did me in) so you are off the hook.

Thanks again for a fine Third Thursday Happy Hour. I tried to crop Cannon out of the photo, but he kind of crept in anyway.

It appears the Pope is staying away from Georgetown (those heretic Jesuits) so I’m good keeping to the Virginia side of the Potomac and skirting any of the kerfuffle. http://pope.dc.gov/

…It kind of sounded like she preferred me to call my pass with “On your left” or something like that instead of using the bell, but again, I wasn’t sure.

Oh then she would really be unhappy with me, as I call my pass of other cyclists as just “Passing”. If it isn’t on their left, they are doing something wrong.

[KWL]

Sigh. I really am looking forward to bad weather and a near empty MVT.

[KWL]

Did I see you today on the MVT this evening? Someone flew by me on a celeste Bianchi, but I thought “Nah, couldn’t be Ian. There’s no seatpost mounted rack & bag on that bike.”

[KWL]

Come on, man! More lift!
