Bike to Work Day registration is open
Hey all in the DC-Metro area....
Bike to Work day is May 18, 2007!
"Join thousands of area commuters for a celebration of bicycling as a clean, fun and healthy way to get to work! Meet up with your neighbors at one of 24 pit stops all over the region, ride into the city with experienced commuter convoys and meet your colleagues at Freedom Plaza. Washington Area Bicyclist Association and Commuter Connections invite you to try bicycling to work as an alternative to solo driving. Help the Washington region become a better place to ride. Bike to Work Day is a FREE event and open to all area commuters!" - www.waba.org

Anyone headed in the OTHER direction?
I live in the Tysons Corner area about 2 miles from the 7-mile marker on the W&OD. My office (especially on Fridays, these days) is in Herndon and isn't too far from the W&OD. I definitely want to try the route before National Bike to Work Day but was wondering if anyone is heading in that direction versus IN to DC. I'd love a partner if possible. Lucky for me, my husband works in the same office as me so he can have all my stuff waiting for me when I get there. ;) Thanks!
Yes, Nicole, there is a shower
In fact, there are two, in the bathroom on the lower level.
Today I had a chance encounter in the elevator with a woman who was carrying clothes and had wet hair. Since it looked like she had just showered I asked her if there are showers in the building. As it turns out she hadn't used them but pointed me in the right direction. They are a little bit nasty: they have many dead flies on the floor, apparently from lack of use. A quick spray down before use should take care of that! Now, I just need to figure out how to deal with my left turn issue and figure out where to lockup the bike. :)
