Whew! So glad you said "summer" - as I look out at the 15 degree reading on my thermometer this morning!
That sounds like fun. Excellent change-up for the DC-TE Tour of D.C.

I'd be in for that, if I could get lights/reflectors fairly cheap.
"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."

Oh, you make me wish I was still in DC (not much can do that!)
The monuments at night are the best way to see them. I particularly like FDR memorial and the Korean Vets monument at night. Have fun, wait til it's warm!
Oh, and seek out the Einstein memorial. It's good during the day, too.

Where's Al? I don't think I've ever seen him.
The "Victims of Communism" we saw on the last TE-DC Tour DC was a first for me for that one.
Always fun to search out the hidden ones, the obscure ones, the forgotten ones. In fact....we should keep a running tally of them!
We can even throw the Exorcist stairs in there.....
Okay...I digress.....
