Welcome to Team 7! Here’s our thread for introductions, rides, meetups, or general communication.
I’m Matt Holmes and a fairly avid cyclist. This is my 5th Freezing Saddles and first as a Team Captain, I am pretty stoked for it! Obviously this year will be a bit different from others but we will make it work and have plenty of fun (even if it is type 2 fun).
When there isn’t a global pandemic I enjoy racing gravel, cyclocross, and XC Mtn. I love riding gravel in general and we are blessed with a plethora of fantastic roads and routes in this area. I like craft beer, coffee, wine, and cooking. I’m pretty easy to identify with a large reddish beard and usually some form of Bikenetic team kit.
Please drop a reply with an introduction and idea for a team name.
Here’s to a great competition and hoping we can all motivate each other to ride and find the joy in cycling.

Missed you at the happy hour tonight. I was a big Pete Beers fan, so we have that connection. Just need to know how to sign up for our strava team. I’m not a strava user except for this event.
To intro myself, I live/work in Reston. When it’s possible, I teach biking skills to people of all ages. I’m also a licensed atty in VA so I use that for advocacy and forward thinking. I’m an exec committee member of Reston Bike Club and work very hard to bring biking people and others together. In 2016 I rode across the country from Seattle to DC. It’s been 5 years – looking for my next challenge. I did commit to riding an average of 20 miles per day for 2021. So far, so good.

Hi! My name is Karen – happy to meet some of you tonight! I’m a bit of a weekend tourist rider – but will try to pick up my game for this competition – if you have any suggestions for routes / places to visit? I just bought a cool 1980s road bike – my first bike that was not from the tip or a real budget third- or fourth-hand mountain bike, so keen to try it out.
Karen I would love to show you the area out here in the Reston/Herndon zone that can build on your Udvar-Hazy trips. That said, it’s a time sink to get out here from DC, so do try to ride around the city even a little bit each day. It adds up for your health and sanity! Feel free to contact me privately for more routes/ideas or to plan a riding trip together. westenhoff at gmail dot com (Same for any other team member who wants to get in touch) Or you can text me 571-215-5353 – just let me know who you are the first time you do.
