To the guy on Sherman NW, don’t be a jerk and pass me then have the gall to stop at a stop light.

There is a 7-11 in Lovettesville, too. Get yourself a coke and a snickers before the climbs.

I also always recommend Woodburn/Harmony Church on the way out. http://app.strava.com/activities/49594078

I think it’s clear that you were harrassed by an officer who didn’t know the law and chose to abuse his power because he doesn’t like cyclists.

I think he clearly knew the law, and that he was wrong, hence the lack of a written summons. Why he hates cyclists and is clearly abusing his power is beyond me.

I usually ride through there on my way to the pentagon just before 6:30. I will look for you on Thursday and will try and stop to say hello.

Was actually getting to ride part of it. Still no changing facilities access, so I rode from the pentagon in my suit.

Did you take the 17 from braddock/wakefield chapel? I was wondering if they had bike racks on front or not.

So is this happening? I now don’t have to be home until around 10. Will definitely do FCC. Which one to choose?

Oh, and a request, my friends. Under no circumstances should you mention this photo to my wife.

So this dress belongs to your mistress, how fitting.

Oh. My. God. I think my paycheck just got a few hundred dollars lighter. Plus if you take the cleat off and wear some ultra-tapered jeans, you can go to any Euro club you want…

The Specialized ones are cheaper, and look more like something you would see on the Death Star. http://www.specialized.com/us/en/ftr/shoes/mtb-shoes/defroster-trail

But will you still be interested if the trail doesn’t have anything over 15% GRADE?

I pick up the WOD at EFC, normally too late for most of you. But I’ll have a somewhat new (earlier) schedule next week so hopefully I’ll be able to meet up.

Earlier meaning before noon?

It turns out I am not working tomorrow. I do have to depart FCCII by 8:15 though, so depending on what time you start I may meet you for a bit.

5:00-5:10. Pick up the W&OD at Sycamore normally.

I will wait for you by brandymore castle, 5:30 sound good?

Yep. It’s the bridge that I thought should have been in Mikey’s challenge. It’s cool, though not entirely skinny tire friendly. There was a couple headed over there on bikes, so I followed. I had never been to that corner of the world; thanks, Mikey, for a reason to do it! I think BicycleSpace does it’s Luau ride there. Definitely sounds like fun.

Riding past the RFK parking lot, all I could think was “why aren’t the Greenbelt crits here“. Or at least some of the early season office park races. Seems like a great place for a bike race!

There used to be a DC Crit there, attracted a huge Pro/Cat1 field with really large prize purses. http://blacknell.net/dynamic/2008/05/23/sunday-city-bikes-rfk-criterium/

apparently the permit process was a total nightmare. Most notably, I understand, was the fact that they would not give a firm date commitment more than about a month in advance.

-2,084.3% grade sounds seriously scary. But the 40k feet of elevation gain in .2 miles sounds like an intense climb.
