Fall is here!! It’s going to start off brisk and cool in the morning, but quickly warm up and should be a beautiful day for a run. Come out and have some fun!

It’s a beautiful day for a run around. The days are cooling down and getting shorter. Prepare yourselves for start time to go back to 5:30 either next week or the week after. We need to squeeze out as much daylight as we can to play.

It’s a shifty and scattered storm that could give us a perfect gap over the fields. However, consensus is heavy rain and thunderstorms from 6-6:30 bookended by moderate rain the half hours before and after. Give yourself a rest day to stay warm and dry inside. We’ll be back on Wednesday

If we play it will be on the WW2 side of the Washington monument at 5:45pm.

There are conflicting weather reports, but a good chance of heavy rain right around 6 through sunset. Generally a little rain is okay, but if the storm doesn’t change track we will cancel for today. Keep your eyes out for an update around 3ish

It should be a gorgeous day out for touch. The annual Bike DC event is on Saturday morning as well. this mean lots of road closures right around the tidal basin, including access to the parking lot. For the most part the ride should be finishing around 9:30, but the road closures are scheduled through 12pm. If you drive look for parking on independence between 14th and 7th.

Below is the official course map and a link to MPD list of road closures. Give yourself extra time to navigate increased traffic and parking scarcity.

Near Smithsonian metro stop. Weather should be pleasant. Slight chance of light scattered rain. Probably won’t get wet, but an umbrella is a good idea.

The days are rapidly shrinking. In the coming weeks we’ll probably push back to 5:30 start time again to squeeze as much daylight as we can out of playing. Whether we start at 5:45 or 5:30 please try to come on time so we get as much play time as possible.

In usual fashion we’ll play in the morning for the holiday. Weather should be good in the morning, as the rain is only likely in the afternoon/evening. If you haven’t already skipped town for the three day weekend and you’re wondering what to do with yourself all day tomorrow without work….come out to touch!

It going to be a beautiful summer day. Perfect for touch and a little potluck after. Bring a dish and your favorite beverage to socialize. Feel free to drop by around 11:45 even if you don’t feel like running in the morning.

Near Smithsonian station. It will be very warm, but the humidity should be reasonable.

Upcoming events: Potluck on Saturday after touch to kick off labor day weekend. Bring a dish, enjoy a beverage, and socialize with the crew. Plan your dish now. All are welcome even if you don’t feel like playing in the morning. Monday is a holiday so we’ll move touch to the morning at 10am.

It looks like flag football is done for Mondays so we’ll rotate back to the tidal basin. It will be hot and humid.
