The race is this Sunday! I might see about metro'ing up to catch it.

Darn it, I'll be in Nebraska this weekend so I can't go. I could walk, ride, or take a bus to this. Maybe next year...

Ooh, bummed I'll be in Portland OR then.
I went last year, and it was loads of fun...

Well, I have to add a phooey to this post, too as I'm not sure when I'll be home from Florida. If I end up working this Saturday to make up for time off, Sunday will be my only day to ride and Silver Spring just isn't close enough to my usual routes. :mad:

I hadn't heard about this race, though, so thanks for posting about it, Velobambina! I'll have to bookmark it for next year. If you go, definitely give us a report.

LOL---Listen to you three, traveling all around! My DH is going on a TDY to Florida on Saturday, so everyone must be bugging out of DC.

Unfortunately, mine's not a vacation. I'd much rather be in DC right now. I'm beginning to really miss my bike :(

Possibly dumb question: What's a TDY?

I had no idea they do something like this in SS. Unfortunately, I will also be out of town, at my first triathlon. :cool:

Darn the luck!
I'll be in Wolfsville this Sunday with my DC (DinahCat) :p
Is it close to a metro stop?

Easy walking distance from the Silver Spring metro stop (red line).

TDY=USG all expenses paid trip to some location where you stay in a crappy hotel, work 12 hour days, find places to eat "within per diem" and become exhausted. LOL.

At Wendy's! I've always gone for the chili and a frosty as a TDY dinner or lunch.

Just checking in courtesy the hotel high-speed....

Did anyone go to this?
DH rode his Seven down, so he didn't wander too far without his bike. He said he walked around a bit and spoke to the folks from the LBS (who were handing out free helmets to the kids in the Kid's Race), but didn't stay for long or see much.
How was it?

Life took over and I didn't go.
