The 5pm Post – Coldest Day of the Year Ride Saturday

From an email:

Using Doppler radar, the Farmers’ Almanac, and ancient methods of divination, we have discovered that this Saturday may very well be the coldest day of the year (or at least one of them), which can mean only one thing: group ride!

So don your mittens and balaclavas and lets get together at noon at the Washington monument for a chilly loop through DC and over the Key and 14th St. bridges into Arlington. Cue sheets will be on hand, but as a group we may abreviate or deviate from our plans for mercy of our fingers and toes.

The ride will end with ice skating at the sculpture garden if we are enjoying the chilly air, followed by mulled cider on Capital Hill for anyone who wants to join.

WHAT: Group ride on (what may be) the coldest day of the year.
WHERE: Meet at the Washington Monument
WHEN: Saturday, 1/22, Noon on the dot.
RSVP for the Coldest Day of the Year Ride on Facebook, and Keep an eye on our website for more details as they arise.
