Is anyone up for a 'warm-up' century (https://bikepptc.org/web_final/)? I did that last year (the pictures proof it) and it was fun.

You know, actually I figure Rince would be the only one to remember SAE vice Metric.

Hey, I get to join the Got Hit club!

DC Parking Enforcement van tagged me when I was going into Adams Morgan over the Calvert Bridge - stupid driver was facing away and talking to her passengers when she made a left turn, hit my rear wheel.

I'm fine (other than a scraped knee and being generally pissed) - pics go up later. Bike's fine - I think my special plastic Armadillo tire saved everything by totally skidding out.
Oh, and cops suck too.

And now I REALLY need some laps with you all on Sunday. See you at Haines!

Yes glad to hear you're OK.

Doesn't look like this rain is going to clear before CM. Who's planning to do it anyway?

I doubt I'll make it to CM. I'm not used to/prepared for riding in the rain.

CM today...

Although my bike's rear tire is so worn down that it is like the wheel on an F1 car, I'll probably still come out... and then probably crash into an SUV and be the first ever CM martyr

Deuce.

You got hit by a govt. vehicle while she had PASSENGERS?

Man, you gotta call Jonny Cochran.

No, I'm serious.

Call him.

LBK.
I hear you got a deal. I think you should go with it, but I don't know if you ought to ride the frame.
I honestly don't know who the best person would be to check the frame but I would get that done before you really work it.

CRITICAL MASTERS?
I think I am going to pass. I got my Brother in town and he doesn't want to ride, but instead have dinner. Anyone else going?

Anyone want to buy some of this stuff I am selling?

What are folks up to tommorow night or next weekend.
I am going to be single and would like to do some riding and a little drinking with friends.
Haines?

deuce:
it's terrible that your frame was totalled and that dc gov is going to have to buy you a new rivendell. just remember to add the cost of all the components when you submit the bill.

ps-

Thanks everyone.

I've had enough rain for one day - three hours out in it plus the close encounter of the stupid kind has me enjoying being inside, without goretex on.
I'm still weighing my options on the complaint front - if I don't get an apology when I file my complaint, I may be talkin' to Cochran (I hear he does good work from beyond the veil). *grin*

And Julie - I'm pickin' up what you layin' down.

Welcome Deuce, glad the damage was incidental.

How about a longer ride after the laps and the cheese on sunday?
