Hauling a load is something you definitely need to get used to, especially if you only have rear bags.

There's no outdoor seating, but Beans is just a block up from the towpath. We could easily stow the bikes on our cars and walk there. I'll add my vote for eating there.

That WOULD be great if Dingster were to join us! I'm all for meeting the more, the merrier.
I'm in Tysons Corner so I will drive myself and pick up anyone if need be. I was about to suggest us just eating at the Beans when someone else had that great idea. I'm all for it! I'm a sucker for eating out.

Accuweather's forecast for tomorrow is calling for a "real feel" temp of 100. Should make for a nice sweaty ride
At least Zen and I will enjoy that

Oh, joy. Sweaty weather.
Okay...so I will NOT be stopping at the store today on my way home and getting the makings of a fruit salad. We'll be eating out.
I probably will, however, put the rack on the bike and cart around some useless junk...for the experience of it all.
I do hope you can make it, Dingster. Like the rest, I'd love to meet you (and F8th too!).2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm
