    I'm definitely doing Tour du Port, and Catriona will be also unless she bags it for a kite buggy event

    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'm in favor of the moonlit tour of DC. Took one in early August and loved it, especially the ride around Haines Point ... no one was there except us cyclists and the view was spectacular.

    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.
