Dude, we should bike to Obama's house. I found a less scary route that's only 13 miles long. Aight.

If you can't tell by our faces, it was a hot and humid day.

We tried taking a safer route to DC, but we still had to ride through the same scary part we did a couple years ago.

Wandering around DC. There was an overwhelming amount of attractive girls on bikes in DC. I'm fairy certain I saw more girls riding bikes than guys. The times are changing?

Many DC-area college kids have a "deep throating the Washington Monument" facespace picture. This is not one of those pictures.

I'm no match for an SLR.

I should go to DC sometime for the purpose of seeing DC. I need to check out the museums.

Holy ballz, it's hot outside.

Frigg likes riding all day and getting lost in DC. Frigg thinks Nicolas Cage should stop being in every movie ever.

America needs to build more epic monuments. Archaeologists are going to be underwhelmed when they unearth suburbia.

Stop it! I don't want to think about Nicolas Cage now! Freakin' National Treasure movies. Get out of my head!

No maps allowed.

We were too tired to take wheelie 4 Obama pics. We did wheelies in front of Bush when he lived here a couple years ago.

We came across this man after passing the Finnish Embassy on our detour. I don't like pedophiles. Leave the kids alone!

We might've biked in the wrong direction to Silver Spring, but at least we got to see this church.

Comparing DC public schools to other public school systems makes me sad. Inequality of public schools. Kids who live in wealthy counties go to wealthy schools.

Elliot's fixie chain fell off the cogs while he was riding, which caused the tire to lock up. It's a good thing that the chain locked the wheel, else E's legit-hipster-ballin'-may-or-may-not-have-no-brakes fixie would've been stuck in permanent coast mode. We were safe.

Burn.

Elliot got taken out by a charley horse soon after his chain dropped. We were the Charley Boormans of the race to DC.

Nothing makes sense anymore. Will we ever get back?

In the end we made it back to College Park. I saw that the milkshake was good; and I sucked the milkshake from the cup. I called the day a success, and Elliot agreed.
