    I think something IS going. 7rider was going to call MMQFC yesterday to see what night this week works best for her.

    I just got off the phone with Mary.
    She's got a rental car and GPS, so mobile to go anywhere.
    Tuesday dinner works.
    Thoughts? Recommendations? Show of hands?

    Well, we could go somewhere in Chinatown. My favorite Chinese restaurant is Chinatown Garden, but there are lots of non-Chinese restaurants in that part of town now, too.

    Or we could go to one of the many fine restaurants in Silver Spring--the Thai place, or Austin Grill (which is also near Chinatown), or Mandalay (Burmese).

    Or we could try Ethiopian in Adams Morgan (or Silver Spring for that matter.)

    I had a delicious Thai meal at Dusit in Wheaton this weekend.

    There's a fantastic middle eastern restaurant in downtown Takoma Park, if I'm being parochial.

    We could meet in Bethesda and walk around and choose a restaurant (closer for KD and Zen).

    So many choices.

    I vote for something downtown near a Metro station, since the subway or my feet would be my only form of transport. Other than that, I'm not picky and can find something to eat on pretty much any menu.

    Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

    Tuesday as in tomorrow 9/15? I have a condo meeting at 7:00. Maybe I can skip it...

    I ride the Arlington end of the WOD all the time. I ride the other parts, too. Let me know if you have any questions. www.bikewashington.org has lots of information about trails in the area. Also there's a map at bikearlington.com for the Arlington trails and bike routes. http://www.bikearlington.com/bikemaps.cfm

    The new connector that KD mentioned is between the eastern end of the WOD and the Four Mile Run trail, which hooks you up with the Mount Vernon Trail at National Airport (a bit north of Old Town Alexandria).

    Yeah, Tuesday the 15th. I know it's late notice....
    How about Sala Thai in Dupont Circle?? Anybody know anything about this?
    Should be easy to get to via Metro, yes?

    Sounds good to me. What time are you thinking? (Should I bike to work, or drive or metro and just go to the restaurant directly from the office, that is the question.)
