Get Your WAGBRAD On

Posted in Cycling, DC by MB

Yeah, that title didn’t really work, did it?

Ah well.

This Saturday, I’m planning to join the Washcycle crew for a ride around DC’s perimeter (i.e., WAGBRAD - the Washcycle’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Around DC).  What’s that I hear, from the three readers that know I’m registered for the Page Valley Road Race on Sunday?  I’m being ridiculous, going out on a 50 miler the day before a 30 mile road race?  Alas, I have pulled the same idiot move this year that I did around this time last year - went and hurt myself in a real way in early August (tho’ this year’s strained back is waaay better than last year’s seperated shoulder).  I can still roll, but not with any power.  So if I can’t hang with the WAGBRAD, no harm - I’ll just hop on the Metro and go home.  If I *can* hang?  Well, that’ll show that I’m just being ridiculous about thinking Sunday’s race a bad idea, and I can pack my bags and head to Luray as soon as I get home.  In any event, if you’re up for a long ride on Saturday and have a few hours, drop by and say hi.  I’ll be the guy on the yellow GT ZR that’s pedaling like he’s 70 years old.
