Ed Begley, Jr., Ride
Friday 28 Nov
2008
Beth organized a ride on the day after
Thanksgiving with
Ed Begley, Jr.
The main group left from Bluemont and had a wonderful ride along the GW
Parkway, over the Memorial Bridge, going past all the monuments and feeling
lucky to be Washingtonians.
When we arrived at the meeting place on the
mall, we were greeted by Joan, Althea, Dolly and Karen and eventually joined
by Maya and her family. But no ED! We sent out scouts and wandered around
trying to stay warm when finally a little white Prius shows up and out pops
Ed Begley Jr. (St. Elsewhere, and most recently Gary Unmarried).
Eventually, we ended up escorting him around
the mall along with about ten other riders who had gathered. He was very
friendly and chatty and told us all about how ceiling fans keep us cool in
the winter and circulate heat in the summer (reverse your fans), how
important programmable thermostats are and how we can all use our bikes more
for transportation, errands, etc. He got a real kick out of being escorted
by the Babes on Bikes.
