Next time, go the opposite direction. A nice ride through Anacostia and PG County on the Beltway is just what you all need.

The Beltway? No way. Ick.

I've got plans on Sunday, you guys up for an early Saturday morning ride?

I normally I'd say yes, but this is a rare occasion where I have to work this weekend.

Lets plan something big for next weekend, if you guys want I can do this run which I've done before and is a big ride but not like grueling. http://goo.gl/maps/p8MTp Most of yall had comfortable bikes so I think it's doable.


I have another route that takes in 250 and more silliness but it gets real close to pushing your luck for a one day ride, http://goo.gl/maps/LyRlO I've done it on my own before but not really with a group. Also 250 is mostly in VA and crawling with cops and idiots on bikes.

I'm down for either, I'm thinking about trying one of these out to save my old/large rear end for hurting. http://www.amazon.com/SKWOOSH-Unive...+pad+motorcycle

Both of those look fun... what day where you thinking?

Are we talkin' about weekend 20/21 or 27/28? If it's the 27th or 28th count me in for sure, looks like a great ride. I'm guessing we'd meet in Georgetown again?

If you ever ride in DC here's your chance to speak up


Motorcycle Feedback Questionaire - survey closes at midnight 17 Aug 2013

Survey on dangers, conditions, and asking for suggestions on making the ride safer. Doesn't matter if you live in DC, just if you ever ride there.

I suggested including safe behavior around motorcycles in the driver's ed and legalizing filtering/lane splitting with a publicity campaign to make cagers aware of it.

Also there's an optional drawing for one of three $100 gift cards
