DC Pirates: Sail the Seven "C's" for Scurvy Cessation!
It occurred to me the other day that we might include C Street in the itinerary.
Sherwood. September 23rd. Be there or be □.
Have we set a time to shove off yet?

September 23rd is also the final Q and Not U show. And the weekend of the Seagull I'm riding to Harrisonburg and back with my friend. I probably should quit my job so I have more free time.

Okay, here's the thing. I'm coming from Rockville, and I can't actually take my baby on the Metro until 7pm.
Any advice on how to get into DC? Should I suck it up and do 20 on the way in? I don't even have a clue on where to begin thinking of a route.

for the saturday ride, you can take it on the train any time.
for the friday ride, i'd say just ride it in. it's not a long ride that we do.

Nothing crazy - i'll try and keep it under 20 miles.

I can't make the training ride on Saturday; I wish I could. What is this Seagull Century anyway? I assume it's too late to try and join in on that?
I'm looking forward to the 23rd!
