I wanna ride, too!
And if I do, I'm just a few miles from your friend's house, Catherine. Maybe she could drive to my house (it's on the way; she'd just have to go up Eastern Ave to Takoma Park) and we could drive together. I've got a rack that can handle 3 bikes.
I'll do whatever ride you all want to, short, long, hilly, flat, doesn't matter. I'll just rest with Kali when necessary.

Kali: Sure I can go out Whitehurst. I'll look up that route on my map.
Divingbiker: I'll run the carpooling idea by her tomorrow (we're planning on a short lunch hour loop). I think she said she's basically at the intersection of those two avenues. You'll have to send me some detailed directions to pass on to her though about where to meet up with you. The main reason she wants to carpool is because she hardly drives around the area or know where a lot of streets are, even though she's been here over a year (as opposed to me--I've just been around since late May and drive too much). Her rack fits 2 bikes I think. The only problem for us was that we aren't totally sure if it fits on my suv (and I don't really want to go to NE). Let me know if you decide to come!

Oy... The advance weather forecast for the 19th is calling for a high temp of 48 degrees. Let's all cross our fingers that the forecast will change between now and then!

Start Time?
Have we figured out a start time? Kali, what time do you need to be finished and leaving the parking lot?
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

I think we settled on the same time that you and I met for the last ride: 9:30, on the road by 10:00. That got us back to the parking lot a bit between 12:30 and 1:00, which should leave plenty of time for a quick shower and the drive down to Herndon. Heck, I'm seeing the family Saturday evening, Sunday afternoon/evening, and again on Thanksgiving. Yeah, they're driving all the way up from Florida, but I gotta have time to ride!
(Somehow, it's easier to say that to family when you don't live with them...)

Oh, and... let's all remind each other to bring cue sheets...
