RichieV Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 @edwin_rm, I just pm'd you. I saw that the first pm I had sent had a typo'd phone number for my contact info. The latest pm has the correct number. Apologies for any confusion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin_rm Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The ride today was fun. 6 of us showed up and we were the ultimate sensation around the city. Even heard a chick riding a Segway say "that is so much cooler than Segway" Well duh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmethvin Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Great seeing everyone, glad I was able to make it! What a great day for a ride. Here is our route, I started the track a bit late as we came out of Union Station but I got most of it.https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz5JJFjq9rZDOFNiWVNJcHJxRWM/view 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villac Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Awesome! My son and I got out for a ride close to home (Pennsylvania) and were under those same pretty blue skies! Hopefully someday we can come down and join you in DC; it's not too far away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LorenW Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 How was Sunday's ride? Is there another one planned yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 As of right now, I don't think. But I'll text the group and see if there is another day we can ride. Gotta be soon though, if only gets colder from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieV Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 I want to do a clinic this weekend or next. Focus on improving basic skills such as mounting and low speed maneuvering, as well as intermediate skills like riding backwards or on one leg. Maybe open it up to curious newbies who want to learn how to ride but don't have a wheel yet; this would depend on how willing people are to volunteer their wheels for this purpose. Jones Point by Old Town Alexandria under the Woodrow Wilson Bridge is a very nice location for this; a ride over the bridge to National Harbor would be a fun followup activity. Anybody interested? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin_rm Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'll be out of the country soon, until the first week of November that I return. So I can't attend any more group rides until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Hi all, I just found out about this forum, and I'm so glad I did. I've been riding since July of this year and have an Airwheel X3 and a Ninebot One E+. I'm so sad I missed the last Meetup. @dmethvin, thanks for posting the videos, I watched all 4 through to the end of each. I would definitely love to join you all in the future. I run a few large Meetup groups, so most of my weekends are booked, but November and December are usually a bit slower. So hopefully I can meet up with you guys. Speaking of Meetups, do you all have an official Meetup.com group? If so, please point me to the group! @LorenW, I think I know who you are, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieV Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) So I'm getting together with my sister and possibly one curious newbie friend at Jones Point this upcoming Sunday (18 Oct) at 1pm. Going to bring some cones and try to master some basics and learn some new tricks and maybe ride over the bridge to National Harbor. The more the merrier, so fellow ewheelers and other curious newbies are more than welcome to join in.

edwin_rm Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I'll join again after I return to US from a lil vacation I'm at in Europe. I ordered the Gotway MCM4 680Wh. Can't wait to ride that baby in the city! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
