Politics, open government, and safe streets. And the constant incursion of cycling.

Get Your WAGBRAD On

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.
