sherwood is what we call Lincoln Square. It's the park between 13&14 and I&K. and there may be a fountain in the middle, but we consider it quite "suitable"!
c'mon out! ps - Pirates, 1 week till scavenging stupidity. Better stare at a map some. |

http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/travel/wash/dc29.htm Franklin "Square" is rectangular. Lincoln Square is a former name for the current Lincoln Park, site of the Emancipation Memorial, located on Capitol from 11th to 13th. |

Thanks EBK, BLocks, Rwind & mtbchica for joking with me and providing sanity advice on what to do after being slow motion T-boned. May be it was overly dramatic to have the fire dept and the police on such minor incident, but getting the police report was a good thing. Now to City Bikes for a damage estimate.

What happened?
|
What happened: It was really nothing, nothing at all, except that there was a car involve, heck, we had seen worst between pirates
Got in a warm up lap before meeting up with LBK and the rest. I was riding outboard on the causway (re-versed direction) and saw LBK at the corner of the cause way and the parking lot. So I swung into the ped cross walk, rolling really slow because there were 2 cars at teh stop sign. The first one went , so I started to cross, the second car had the same idea and T-boned me. All was in really slow mo, but since I was clipped in, the bike tumbled with me. As I was lying in the intersection, clipped to the bike, I was glad that there wasn't another car to run me over. hardly a scrape on me, but the bars got bent and the rear wheel needed a truing. All in all, everything was fine, the guy's insurance left me a voice mail. I think we can laught this one off. :) Thanks for all the VM and PM of concern and good cheer! :) |
glad you're ok, PNC.
so... scavenger hunt this sat! can folks pm, email, or something me so I have an idea of how many folks to expect? again, this is more of a fun, laid back, creative event... not a race! |
