Holy smokes you are fast with a camera! And y’all wonder why I call my passes and generally behave on the trails…
Good seeing you and then Dickie not long after.

Sweet!

Sighted OneEighth walking westbound on G, and again a minute later walking eastbound on G. I think he was trying to get his picture in this thread again, but I forgot to bring my camera today.

I should have snapped a shot of you with the phone. My bad. I was preoccupied with figuring out what lunch choice would help me lean-out faster.
I need a shot of me surfing on that trailer of yours…

What, are you Danny MacAskill?

It’s a movie. Actually, the “squirrel” reference has popped up on the forum before. The youtube clips are a bit inadequate—better to just watch the movie.

OK. I guess I don’t get the thread title. You also caught me at a somewhat sensitive moment, since I’m not supposed to do any riding today. I’m peaking/tapering for a long race this weekend (yes, a triathlon) and today is supposed to be a rest day. While it’s not that bad to cheat a bit and do something on a normal rest day, I really can’t cheat today and go out and do an hour-long ride. (But I will still probably sit on a CaBi bike and coast for 10-15 minutes to get one mile in for the National Bike Challenge today.) There are also other stressful situations I have to take care of, unrelated to bikes or cycling.

It’s from UP.
Good luck on race day.

Not sure why the hatred toward triathletes here. It’s a large community, just like the cycling specialist community (and the running community). You will find all types, some not so pleasant including those who, for some reason, see the need to create us vs. them situations. But most people are not jerks.

Guess you didn’t get the joke implicit in the thread title.
Chill.

Rando sighting just a bit before 1700 on 4 Mile Run. And who yelled my name on the Custis?

I think I saw this kit/bike combo at 1740-ish headed west on the Custis just past the crest of the Rosslyn hill.

Saw eminva, too. Even got in a timely “hey!”…but totally failed in the reciprocal wave department.

[OneEighth]

But is it nature or nurture (as in that feeling of constantly being watched)?

Yup, I’ll be crossing key around 5:15. It’d be great if you can join, anyone else? I can meet in the key bridge marriott parking lot.

I will probably pass your rendezvous point at 5:20. Might even wave…

Ride time is headcleaner, but I make a real effort to give a shout out and/or thumbs up to any little kids who are riding on the path.
The rest of y’all will have to do with a nod or that “I know I’m going to recognize you any moment now” look.

And I saw him a mile east of there. I think we have him pretty well monitored.

Who needs court-ordered ankle bracelets…

I saw OneEighth in Banneker Park when he was coming back east. I waved too late; just as we were passing one another. This was close to 7 p.m. or possibly after.

I recognized you, too, but we had already passed by then. Sorry!
But seriously, what a wonderful thing it is to see friendly folks we know on our commutes.
