I'm trying to get out to the Greenbelt training races just outside of DC on Wednesdays... anybody here drive up from the DC/Arlington area? Got space for one more plus a bike? I am certainly willing to ride to your point of departure!

Thanks!

I actually live in College Park, but I have space on the roof rack for one more bike if you wanted to meet up at the Greenbelt Metro station. It's right on my way to the race. Drop me a PM.

I work in Alexandria, and pass through Arlington/DC on my way to Greenbelt on Wednesdays (and although I haven't gone in a few weeks, I'm looking to make it to most of the remaining races... I'm *pretty sure* I'll be heading out that way on Wednesday...). I generally head up the GW Parkway to the 14th Street Bridge, and I could pull off into the parking lot at Gravelly Point (along the Mt. Vernon Trail, just north of National Airport) to pick you up. I leave work at 4:00 on Wednesdays, so I could be at Gravelly Point around 4:15.

After the race, I'll be headed back home to Dupont, and I could drop you off at a nearby Metro station or somewhere else Downtown (and possibly drop you in Arlington if I have time...).

Question: Which race would you be doing? (I'm in the 'C' race, which starts at 6:00...)
