Questions for the DC ladies?

What is the big hand? I don't think I've seen it before.

That's the Awakening statue, on Hains Point. Various body parts come out of the ground, so it looks like a giant is buried. I assume it's still there, since I haven't read that it's been moved yet.

- Meeting at 9:00am at Bike the Sites at the Old Post Office Pavillion? Or, for those of us taking the Red Line, meeting at Metro Center between 8:30-8:45 and riding together down to the Old Post Office to catch up with Livin the Dream?

It will take maybe two minutes to ride from Metro Center to the Old Post Office, so I'd say meeting at 8:45 would be fine for those of you taking the Red Line. I'll probably just ride in from home like I did last time.

I'm not sure where the Metro Center elevator puts you out, but you can ride south on 12th or 13th; Bike the Sites is behind the Old Post Office, on 12th St. across from the Federal Triangle Metro Station.

See y'all then!

Regina, do you want to meet at Glenmont for the ride to Metro Center? There's an 8:03 that arrives at 8:30 (the 8:15 arrives at 8:42; I think that's too late).

The riders, as I know it:
Nicole (MDHillSlug)
Regina (Regina)
Janice (divingbiker)
Tam (Kalidurga)
Livin the Dream
bicyclulz?
anyone else?

I actually plan on riding my bike in and hooking up with Janice en route (J - still need to work on details? I've never been on that path beyond Rte. 29/Colesville Rd.). Last time, I got only 15 miles or so for the day, and I'd like to get more miles in (12 miles to go b/f I hit my goal of 2500 for the year...which I can do on Wednesday with my commute....BUT...why not shoot for 3K, yes?). If you think you can do 40 easy miles, join me at the house - I plan to leave at 7 a.m. to meet Janice at 8.

The path can be a bit rough, so you may want to ride in the road if the traffic is light. Just keep going south, crossing Wayne Ave. and Piney Branch (lights at both of those) and eventually you'll come to Maple Ave, where there will be a stop sign. Straight in front of you will be Adventist Hospital. I'll be waiting by the bridge at Maple Ave. and the Parkway at 8 am.

no, no, no, you've got it all wrong - the hand statue is called "Gimme" and it's in front of the IRS Building on Constitution Avenue
