Well, I got the job.

How's roadie bike life in DC? I'm looking at living in Arlington, because the hop-on to the Custis and W&O or whatever it was trail seems very nifty (friend lives there). Any other commuter-friendliest neighborhoods? I'll be working right next to the Capitol. Fave LBS? Suggestions please!

(I've checked out:

and

Also, I'm looking at 1-BRs for me myself and I. Any bike rack/storage ideas? Lock recommendations? Etiquette?

I live 7 hours away right now, and I'll be packing tons of stuff in my Subie Impreza Outback (the small one). Anyone had bike rack experience with that type of hatchback? I've thrown the whole bike in the back until now, but I'll need the space.

I'm a female triathlete. DC Triathlon Clubs? Up here in CT we have a bunch of small summer sprint series, $10 a pop, good fun on a weeknight, anything like that down there? Anyone done Team in Training with that chapter?

I hear the MD roads are also nice to ride, spill it! I need 50+ milers!

thanks! see you out there.
