Would anyone be up for a ride tonight? It could be a midnight ride, or a little earlier (9 or 10) to leave more time for post-ride drinks.

    But perhaps a refreshing drink at Sepia or Manhattan's afterward will make it all worthwhile.

    Ummm, after the Hill of Death I may need a defibrillator...then a drink!

    And I think Manhattan's is in order- I wanna support. And get hit on. And get offered a bump. :wink:

    We'll meet at Grand Army Plaza under the arch at 8:45 pm.

    We ride at 9pm sharp. We will do one or two loops around the park, depending on how people feel. Then we will go to Manhattans, on Washington Ave off St Johns Pl.

    Gee I hope this happened for some people. I was sitting out on the back porch and around ( would have been perfect for a glorious bike ride.

    mougar, arches, carnie and I did two laps.

    ...whatchuwant and mrs whynot then joined us for beverages.

    Hexatron didn't answer our call of "Hexatron!"

    no loop = no bumps?

    I almost ran over a rat on my bike, does that count?

    Hexatron was a no-show, as far as we could tell (by which, I mean, asking every random person in the bar..."Hexatron?"). Maybe next time!

    Wildlife was restricted to whynot's rat run-in. We also probed the depths of whynot's conflict with Scarlett, and discovered that he's ready to make amends (on the White House lawn).

    No bumps, but Carnivore and I were introduced to the salt and pepper at Weather Up afterwards

    Btw there's going to be a bicycle bar crawl, probably starting at Clover Club then moving eastward.
