hrm. That actually might work. I've got a conference to be at in Bethesda, so I could just head over to DC after that. We could get a light dinner somewhere beforehand.

An Oct. 1 ride won't work for me, alas, since I can't bring my bike on the Metro during morning rush hour and I doubt I'd have time to head all the way home and then come back down into DC again. If you all do that ride, be sure to take some photos of the moon to post here.

Friday night, maybe; Thursday night, no good.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

k. I can probably do the Friday night as well, since I'll be in Bethesda then too.
Kali, you're in Montgomery county - do you live anywhere near NIH in bethesda? I could possibly grab the bike in the morning and stick it in my car or lock it to the car and then drive it to DC later if you wanted.

I'm in Gaithersburg right off of 270 and usually leave for work about 10 minutes to 8:00. Originally Posted by Catriona

I was just thinking that we were gonna pick a route & ride it ourselves and have Zen make up entertaining stories as we go. I'll google and see if I can find cue sheets or something. but I guess we could do bike the sites or some guided ride as well.
I was going to stay over in Silver spring so i didn't have to fight the rush hour to bethesda in the morning, but if we're doing this FRiday night, then I'll probably have dinner with a friend on Thursday night in Rockville - so after dinner, I could pop by, pick up your bike and just keep it in my car till Friday.
Or if Zen's coming down for this (she may still be scared what I'll do to her under a full moon), maybe we could work out a way for her to grab it on her way down 270.
