Questions for the DC ladies?

[Zen]

That someone won't be attending as she has another ride taking place
that day

Are you ready for Halloween in Georgetown? Par-tay! Get your box ready!

[madscot13]

unfortunately, I left the box at home and as a direct result I don't have a halloween costume.

[madscot13]

but I am a safer biker!

The plan, as I understand it:

Meet at Bike the Sites at the Old Post Office Pavilion at 9am;
Leisurely tour of DC sites, with frequent stops;
Lunch at ?
Head home

It looks like we're going to have to plan for dealing with a 20 degree increase in temperature during our ride and a fair amount of wind: the forecast calls for early morning temps around 39 and afternoon temps approaching 60, winds to 14mph. Full sun all day long.

Regina, I guess you need to deal with a pre-dawn departure, too.

It's going to be a "Dress Like Shrek" ride - like an onion....layers!!!

Say....we turn the clocks BACK on Saturday night (actually, early Sunday a.m.), right?? Not Friday???

Just need a place to put our layers after we strip them off. Not everyone has panniers like you

Officially, Sunday morning, 2am.

I'm bringing my Camelbak mtb pack so I can store my layers as they get peeled off. Dunno if I could fit other people's layers as well, though. Would Regina or Janice have room in their panniers/bike bags?

I've got no place for a cue sheet, though, so I'll be following you ladies.

[HillSlugger]

I'll have a CamelBak, too, as well as a rack "trunk", so I may have extra room for some stuff.

I know how to layer the torso; what do you do about legs?

[7rider]

I'll have my green "carpet bag." So I'll have plenty of room for carrying stuff. Last time, it was almost TOO big.

For legs...I intend to wear tights over knickers. If/when it warms up to something closer to cool, I'll shuck the tights and stick with the knickers.
