Rockville REI event

I can make this. I plan to be there.
I don't know if I can make dinner unless it's quick or you make a really compelling argument for me to leave work early (hint: it's not that hard!). I don't know the mentioned spots....our usual Pike haunt is Nuwano Hana - but it wasn't that great the last time we were there....too salty...and Zen, you probably wouldn't like it....no fried pickles, and it's a sushi place!

I can't make it, darnit. My pet sitter is coming over to get the key and watch me and the dog walker give Bailey his subcutaneous fluids, since they'll have to do it while I'm gone. What a fun evening.

I'd like to hear a recommendation for tread pattern. The biggest tire I could fit was 26x1.5 (38 mm), and I had 2 choices: Serfas Drifter and Panaracer Pasela. I chose the Drifter with inverted tread. It gave good traction and shock-absorption, but turned out to be a mud-slinger. See photos. Maybe the Panaracer would have been a better choice.

I B there.
Q's noted.
No dinner.
Nike shorts, Under Armor shirt , all black (it's so cool and refreshing)

Oh tay.
I'll be in my casual work duds for hot sticky weather: khaki linen capris and a light blue camp shirt (what??? You expect me to change for this???).

But looking at DebW's bike and get-up...and pondering DH's Big Buzz with it's 25# carrying capacity....I'm suddenly feeling like I'm getting ready for a gun fight by sharpening my knife.

Ah, but remember that DebW had to haul all her camping gear along, too! You're a muffin!
