So far I am not bagging it for a kite buggy event. I might run up to the buggy event the day before.
If we finish at a reasonable time after tour du port, we could pop into the reservoir (triadelphia?) for a paddle afterwards. Something slow. Rob (the guy on my facebook page that's going with us, is making a wood kayak in a CLC class I think this month, so I'm sure he'll wanna come with) or pop into baltimore harbor (never paddled there - is the water calm enough for you? There's enough lights down there that it could be a fun & pretty paddle if it was getting late.)
This weekend I'm heading over to assateague, so not a good one to pedal.
I wouldn't mind a moonlit, evening tour of DC... Just 'cause there's so much less traffic & people.

Doesn't look like it's emerging as a good day, but October 25 is the Marine Corps Marathon so we'd want to avoid that day also.
This is indeed a tricky time of year to plan things.
Catriona, I answered your TdP question over in that thread so that this one wouldn't end up drifted all over the place: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...007#post463007

I could groove on a night ride. The streets are practically empty at night.
I will make up interesting stories about the monuments if you like.
