Remind me where you're coming from? Usually I meet people at the Georgetown exxon when I'm headed that direction. I'm coming from the city.

I have to work out of Ashburn for the next 5 days. But that's ok - I'm going to stay at my parent's place which means Halfway Rd will be part of my commute everyday. :krad:

I just did an entry in the photo challenge thread about the track at RFK. Saw a few other guys there racing around tonight so I guess the secret is out! One of them had a tw200 so I ain't mad at it :3

Did you get any contact details from them? Sounds like a fun group and looks like they had their poo poo together enough to at least get more than 2 riders together at a time.

Unfortunately no, I didn't stick around long enough to get contact info. They talked about going Sunday mornings so maybe I'll run into them again.

Hi DC area riders, I'm one of you now.

Location: Baltimore
Bike: '13 Street Triple R
Years ridden: Off and on since 2003, but first time on a street bike again in about 5 years.
Down for: Group rides, trips to see races nearby, MotoGP/SBK watch parties, car/bike shows, hopefully track days


I took the MSF class on a whim because a friend needed a ride to go take his, then realize how much fun bikes are. Had an SV650 all through college, but sold it in 2009 and life got in the way of getting another bike again till now. Just moved to Baltimore from Denver last year, where I did a lot of corner working/track marshaling for the MRA (local club racers).

A couple other goons and I are taking cornerspin again next weekend (15th and 16th). They just said they still have a few spots open. If anybody is interested pm me and I'll give you my name to get the friends discount. Don't know what cornerspin is? Go here: http://www.cornerspin.com/main.html

I was planning on a ride out in va but I'm going for a pretty early start. Is the loop you're referencing a fun ride? Last time I went down skyline with the intention of hitting 33 but I was exhausted by the time I got to 211 I think. I hate having to ride so far to just to escape the city!

After the friend discount, how much would Corner Spin cost? And does anyone have room left in their car for the trip down?

Looks like it's $420 after discount. It says sold out online, but they sent an email out a few days ago that said they had 4 spots open up. I'm driving down Friday and coming back Monday if you want to ride along.

There's a couple good ones around fountainhead state park - hampton & henderson road. Those are just quick ones though, I use em for shakedown runs after maintenance. 647/crest hill road + fodderstack rd out of marshall VA ain't bad. Hnasty knows a ton of awesome backroads east of the mountains.

My usual rides involve Hampton/Henderson/Clifton to Church Hill/Brentville into Bristow/Aden/Fleetwood around Quantico and as far south as Fredericksburg. Otherwise, I'll end up further west, and like M42 says, take Crest Hill to 211 and into the mountains.

If anyone plans on riding the RFK track soon, watch out for the extra gravel in a number of turns leftover from the GRC event last weekend.

Anyone wanna do bikes & breakfast sunday?

Unrelated: do any of you lanesplit/filter regularly? The fucks I give about doing it in a state where it's illegal have steadily decreased over this season. I rarely get honked at, usually by people that have their faces glued to a phone screen and get startled.

I might be down for that. I had planned on going to cars and coffee tomorrow morning so it will depend on if I want to wake up early twice this weekend haha

I filter regularly in MD and DC at stoplights. I don't filter in VA unless an accident or something has gridlocked traffic to a complete standstill.

I filter every day on my commute in md and dc. Overall more people actually move over for me than honk but that's just during commute times, during weekends people usually don't like it. I think only two cops ever said anything and that was just two capital police. Dc police don't seem to give a poo poo and that's fine with me!

Was this past Sunday over in Clifton. Occurs the second Sunday of the month 'til it's too cold to ride iirc. Was planning on going but my hangover had other ideas. Going to shoot for the one next month though since it's a nice incentive to buckle down and finish the CBR.

Done. I 've been neglecting the OP so if anyone needs their location updated or you'd like to be added/removed, just let me know.

I went to b&b on Sunday for a bit. M42 and koruthaiolos were there. I think Brooks Cycles gave away a rear tire.
