Isn't it about time we do another one of these rides? Anyone wanna shoot for a Saturday sometime within the next handful of weeks?

TE-DC Monument Tour
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Is that a nighttime ride or daytime? I recently did a nighttime Monument Tour with Potomac Pedalers and thought it was awesome. Would love to do another one.

The 2 we've done have been daytime events.
And they usually coincided with a TE forum member visiting our fair city from out of town....so we can show them around. Cuz then we get to be tourists in our own neighborhood!
Anyone visiting D.C. this fall?? Sorry, MMQFC...we didn't get together for a ride.

We could break tradition and do it without having an out-of-town'er along.

No worries...as we stopped at a number of monuments when we rode into DC on 9/13; photo opps at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Mem, Capitol, White House...all enroute to our finish line nearby...was lovely! Originally Posted by 7rider

Thanks again!
