Isn't it about time we do another one of these rides? Anyone wanna shoot for a Saturday sometime within the next handful of weeks?

The 2 we've done have been daytime events.
And they usually coincided with a TE forum member visiting our fair city from out of town....so we can show them around. Cuz then we get to be tourists in our own neighborhood!
Anyone visiting D.C. this fall?? Sorry, MMQFC...we didn't get together for a ride.
We could break tradition and do it without having an out-of-town'er along.

Why not do the one led by the NPS Rangers?
Might learn something interesting.

I would love to do this and meet more of you folks.
You too can help me fight cancer, and get a lovely cookbook for your very own! My team's cookbook is for sale Click here to order. Proceeds go to our team's fundraising for the Philly Livestrong Challenge!
Possegal, it'd be very fun to get to meet you.
Janice, do you still have the route you created? Or do we want to check out the ranger-led tour (Jeanine, do you have a schedule for that?)?
I suggested doing this on a Saturday because I know Regina has a shop ride on Sundays, but let's see what works best for the most folks. Add your name to the dates you'd be available:

NPS ride:
Sunday 9/27
1:00 - 4:00
Jefferson Memorial Plaza
http://www.nps.gov/ncr/customcf/apps...t05375970.html
Oct 4
same time and location
http://www.nps.gov/ncr/customcf/apps...t92923528.html
They're every Sunday from 1-4. The themes vary.
http://www.nps.gov/mall/planyourvisi...-questions.htm Seems they do these tours every Saturday and Sunday so that's convenient, but each tour apparently focuses on a different theme. (Note: I was typing this as NY was editing her post...)
Do we want to try to pick a day with a theme that's interesting, just pick a day and have it be a surprise, or not worry about learning anything new and just go on our own route as our own group?

Does anyone else have Monday, October 12 off (Columbus Day)? Is that a possibility?
I can go either way, ranger-led or on our own. Not sure how big the crowd would be on the ranger tour.

Don't worry about me and sundays. I've been drifting away from the group rides lately, much to Tom's dismay (mainly, just sitting on the couch, pouting, but that's another story). My back has been achy since my crash, and large, fast, group rides on my road bike just aren't "doing it" for me right now.
This sounds really cool! Don't plan around me, as I typically work Saturdays, but I might join y'all if it falls on a day that I'm free.
