Time to start planning...

Saturday looks to be a (huge) group ride. Sunday has competition and prizes. Hmm, both sound fun. So who's in? Which day (or both)? Who's got an interesting route to Shepherdstown?

I can't go this year - out of town to wedding stuffs. As far as ways there
Looks like they have a pic of your bike from last year.

Planning to go, who's up?
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

They do? I know it's in the background of a couple shots, but didn't know there was a direct one.

Hmm apparently I clicked on all the wrong thumbs. Oh well, no showing of the new goods this year...

I'm 85% down for Saturday group ride, assuming it's not horrible weather and that my Protune ECU remap goes well on the 16th when it arrives [thumbsup].  Yuu, you going?  I've no idea where it is and it'd be awesome to hook up with someone in Shirlington Village and go from there.

I'll be out of town. But Julie doesn't live far off from shirlington.

I know a few nice roads up to Harpers Ferry, if anyone's interested in a group ride.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.

Yes!  Hopefully I'll have my Duc back by then. <cough cough Roger cough cough>

Julie, if you end up going, would you mind meeting up and me following you there?  I've never been there before, so I'd rather ride with someone who has.  I'm in Shrilington Village btw.

I propose this:

When: Sunday, September 26 @ 9:30 AM, stands up at 10:00 AM
Where: Starbucks @ 10116 River Rd # A, Potomac, MD 20854-4949 (intersection of River Rd and Falls Rd)
Who: Those interested in a group ride up to the 'fest

Meeting at this Starbucks is probably most convenient as it's right off 495, it's easy to get to from DC, and it's on the way. Massimo and/or I can lead the ride as we're familiar with enough roads in that direction. Plus we have yuu's route from last year.

Folks in Alexandria/Arlington (like Julie, obsidian gt, and myself) can rendezvous earlier (say: 9:00 AM) in Shirlington and ride to Potomac as a group.
