    Awesome idea as always! No preference on date.

    I’d love to do this, as it would be a great opportunity for me to meet some people for the first time. I’m stuck at work in Vienna till at least 6:00 or 7:00 on Thursdays, but that’s just me. I’ve had some luck using needtomeet.com for getting the most people possible to a meeting; you could get an email list from rcannon100 or hozn to populate the form, as they seem to have mastered registrations and data.

    We should’ve done this last year! I didn’t officially meet my teammates until the awards ceremony last year, and looking back I think the competition would’ve been more fun and fierce had I known them beforehand. Too bad the start coincides with the holidays, otherwise we could announce the teams AT the happy hour.

    Love it! Of course I’m traveling for a good bit of Jan so don’t plan around me but I’ll be there if I can.

    That’s what happens when you sleep in for group rides!

    I would actually be available for the first Thursday (Jan 2) but not the other ones – Boys Basketball practice. If anyone is going back to work after the holiday early (2nd) I’d be happy to meet up in Shirlington, or Crystal City, or anywhere really for a beer.

    Given how that day ended up, I feel pretty good about my decision.

    I like the idea of a meetup. It would be nice to be able to put names to faces. I have a hard time remembering who people are.

    :confused:I like the idea of a first Thursday Happy Hour, but will enough people be in town? Of course, I’m also available for second Thursday and third Thursday Thursday Happy Hours. :D

    Let’s narrow this down to the first or second Thursday (January 2 or 9). Please pipe in and let me know if these dates (both or either) work for you!

    I volunteer to make a special award to the person who completes the most mileage on January 1, 2014 and is a member of a team and present at the Freezing Saddles happy hour. The fun begins!

    (And for those of who aren’t aware of it, there is a traditional century ride at Hains Point on New Year’s Day that anyone can participate in for any distance. Loop d’ Loop, Circle of Cycles – whatever you want to call it, it’s a lot of fun. Riders of all abilities participate and many bring snacks to share.)

    I can likely do the 2nd but definitely not the 9th.

    I am totally up for this only if my team can’t trade me after they meet me.

    Both work 4 mii. I prefer the 9th – but both work.
