If we start at Union Station, there's parking there.

Or I could check today with the parking attendants in my building and see if they'd let an extra car go in after hours, and we could meet there then ride down to the mall and start the actual tour at the Washington Monument (the Ronald Reagan building is a half mile down the street.)

Possegal, are you driving in or taking Metro?

^that gets my vote. It's close to Commerce

**Possegal** · 10-01-2009, 07:01 AM

I was planning to drive down. I'm sure I can find a place to park, given that it will be easy to then ride over to wherever we start.

So just let me know where and when!

**divingbiker** · 10-01-2009, 07:03 AM

I'll send y'all a PM and we can nail down details of where and when, cell phone #s, etc.

Lots of bike parking. The new bike station opens tomorrow.
Details, plz.

Sounds like a great time.

**Zen** · 10-01-2009, 07:56 PM

There may be a postponement...

**Cataboo** · 10-01-2009, 08:11 PM

y'all should go without me if my knee's not up to it.

Happy Birthday, Diving Biker! (11 mins late)

**Cataboo** · 10-02-2009, 05:32 AM

Oops. I was gonna say my knee was mostly fine, but it looks like there's other reasons to cancel, so Okay.

Let's go on a prettier day.

I would be willing (and actually might prefer) to do it another day. It's supposed to be cloudy anyway, and possibly rainy.

Edit after I've thought about this for a few more minutes: Logistically, this ride is going to be a hassle for me today (have to do some bike maintenance, haul it in to the office, arrange for puppy care or take leave and drive home early to feed/walk, then drive back in, etc, plus I have a 5K early in the morning) so I'd prefer to wait for a nicer day if others are ok with that, or bow out and have you go ahead without me.

Now watch the weather turn out to be beautiful.

**Zen** · 10-02-2009, 02:20 AM

The forecast does say mostly cloudy.

When I heard that last night I thought"hmm...maybe not the best time for Full Moon Ride"
