Next time, we'll work out the timing so there is no excuses for the DC folks. Just kidding, glad everyone made it home safe and sound. Great Ride, thanks for organizing.

That storm was pretty heavy at times; would have sucked a bit to have been out there under those conditions. I ended up with 73 miles, since I rode from home in Arlington out and then back home from Kathy's place in Shirlington. Nice ride, well-executed (other than the late starts, ha); thanks for putting it together. Next one leaves earlier and spends more quality time in the bars...

Steve and Kathy got a ride from Baltimore back to DC The rest of the DC crew made it to mile 75 before the threats of darkness and thunderstorms thwarted their plans. Next year (if we do it again), I'll have to figure out something better for the departure times so no one has to get home too late. sorry guys. quick follow up:

If I wasn't 11 hours away I would be all about this (well and if I wasn't still recovering from going down at Lumberjack). I might have to hold on to the cue sheet for the next time I'm in town with the road bike-who knows maybe we can talk you into using the Orbea... Rock on! P.S. you should check out the ODRAM (one day ride across michigan) -maybe we can get you out to Michigan yet This looks rad!

I'll do likewise. I'll be doing the M2M ride from DC on Sunday on a fixie, natch. Oh, and I'd love a pin, if you can spare it. See you there. -Steve www.wrenchinthegears.blogspot.com Yo, CCV, can you give me a little link love on your blog? I’ll do likewise.
