Mountain Biking - I must be a good husband

I am sitting here in Washington D.C. instead of camping and riding with mntbiker66 and the N.C. crew in the ever so lovely confines of Pisgah.

It was all planned. My wife would be gone from Wednesday until Sunday to Washington D.C. for her work conference. While she was gone I was going to camp and ride bikes with Mntbiker66, girlscout and the N.C. crew. At the last minute, the lady who was going with my wife backed out and my wife was going to have to make the trip alone. I volunteered to give up the “man” weekend and make the trip to D.C. with her. Dang…..what was I thinking. This hotel is too fancy and I don’t have my bike with me. This sucks. I need some form of entertainment.

through the silence i can hear the faint sound of a cracking whip...

j/k :) good on you. Your wife probably needed you to be there for her and as her husband you stepped in. Nothing wrong with that. Id sit on my butt and watch TV/order room service :D

You'll get back all you sacrificed in spades my friend :)

The sweet tea even sucks. I wonder if GW would mind if I ride a bike on his lawn. Can't wait to get back down south.

Dag yo! Get up off your ass and go for a walk. There's got to be something to look at while you're there. Go test ride some bikes...

Been for a walk...been for a run. I have even eaten strange food from strange lands. I need more creative advice than you have offered my friend. Try again and put more thought into it. I am stuck here until late Saturday afternoon.

Stair gap the Lincoln memorial and get it on video. That would be fly! Highrevs will get some good pice of the camping trip for ya.

Get a folder, I've used it for boring extended visits. Your a good husband I'd say but happier if you'd ride.

Doesn't Washington have a bunch of cool museums? Go hit some of those.

I just got off the phone with Hambone,he is at the zoo...........a lot like bikeforums.

You're in the capital of your country, you have access to the internet and three days to kill. Do what the locals do:

do some back-room deals [drug and otherwise]
shoot somebody
push for DC to get state representation
filibuster
protest something
see the sights
become a Joint Chief
visit friendly Baltimore [via train, if possible]
"Stair gap the Lincoln memorial and get it on video" [that [I]would be really cool...]
get hammered with Ted Kennedy
visit the American Institute of Architecture [1735 New York Ave NW]
internet porn


And don't come back until it's time for dinner!

how about

- get a pizza at Two Amy's
- check out a Wright Bros bicycle at National Air & Space Museum (free)
- Citybikes, Capitol Hill Bikes, Bicycle Pro Shop, Revolution Cycles, etc (not free)
- rent a mountain bike from Big Wheel Bikes in Georgetown and ride up the C&O Canal Towpath (cheap)
- watch a movie at AFI Silver Spring or E Street Cinemas
- get a bowl of pho anywhere in Northern Virginia
- drink beer at the Brickskeller
- walk into the National Building Museum just to see the lobby
- tapas at Jaleo

Smithsonian. My unwashed, untravelled self has not been there, but my son tells me it's mind-boggling.

By the way, good job, hubby - -you made a very difficult and wise choice.

Skip the Brickskeller. Yeah, they have 1,000 beers but they're all bottled.
They also own RFD by the MCI Center- about 60 beers on tap- all chosen by the owners.

Marion Barry

I'm pretty sure he has given up crack and *****s.

Anyway, the Smithsonian is worth the trip, and the Air and Space museum.

Much better...I knew you had it in you.

Pretend to be nicolas cage, and steal the declaration of independence.

HTH

Make sure you keep us up to date with your [hopefully] interesting DC adventures...

We have our two kids with us.....so, no hotel sex. Things have actually gotten much better. The boys and I hung out at the zoo (free) for most of the afternoon. Tomorrow we are going to see if we can go hang out at the White House with GW and the boys.

Pity, hotel sex is good stuff. ;)

Well, then I would get to experience jail sex...no thanks Flak.

Yeah you're probably right, it'd be a shame if they mistook you for a terrorist and shot on sight....i'd miss out on seeing your mad skills when i get back down there.

Could i have your bike though? ;)

You could have all of them. Mtnbiker66 gets the cameras and video stuff.

Still holding out for a hookup with the mayor.

"First, it was not a strip bar, it was an erotic club. And second, what can I say? I'm a night owl." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC


"b|tch set me up." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

"I am clearly more popular than Reagan. I am in my third term. Where's Reagan? Gone after two! Defeated by George Bush and Michael Dukakis no less." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC


"The laws in this city are clearly racist. All laws are racist. The law of gravity is racist." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

I am not nearly cool enough to hang with the mayor.

Umm his wife is there.
Well, she's not there the entire time...

Just how well do you know his wife? :eek:

Well, she's not there the entire time...Yeah but he's got the kids with him too..... although there are people you can hire for that sort of thing.

Wow you're young. I know women well enough to know that they will try stuff in a hotel room that they'd never do at home no matter how long you've known them. I'm going to leave it right there.

I agree with the hotel sex thing (no "with" Raiyn of course), but my wife gets all sort of crazy in a hotel.

hmmmm.......Maybe a road trip to nowhere is in order this weekend......

I would be careful about getting blitzed with Ted Kennedy.He may want a road trip across the river or something.

If you have time (you could probably work this into your trip back home)- check out Great Falls. It's really very stunning- breathtaking, even, especially with all the rain we've had. http://www.nps.gov/grfa/

I thought it was mad skilz?

I dressed the term up for hammy. He is a head master at a swanky school afterall :)

That was 38 years ago. Damn get a life or something

Yeah but he's got the kids with him too..... although there are people you can hire for that sort of thing.
You'd bring in "hired help" while the kids are there? That's just gross...

I guess you do know his wife pretty well... ;)
