ParticipantSigned up to do a few laps with you. I plan to bring the kid, since I think she counts as “women in cycling.”

ParticipantWe’ll be down around 2pm to help encourage some of those exponentially more challenging final laps.

ParticipantIt’s time for the latest daily supporter update (and trust me, there’s lots more to announce).
Exclusively for the ladies on the ride, four lucky rider/donors will receive a tube of Hoo Ha Ride Glide courtesy of The Bike Lane. (Yeah, I got to say Hoo Ha!)
Wait, there’s more!
Bike Arlington! Bike Arlington was one of the first ride supporters and I want to give them a plug for all their ongoing support. But, they’d also like to reward you, too! One lucky lady rider and one lucky man rider will receive their own Bike Arlington jersey! And, 12 lucky pairs of feet (or 120 toes) will be so happy and warm on the ride in their own Bike Arlington socks we’re giving away.
Afraid you’re going to win some of this stuff and can’t carry it home? Don’t fear, Bike Arlington will have their bags on hand to help you haul home your loot!
Thanks everyone for your donations and for showing up for this ride in support of WABA’s Women & Bicycles program! Don’t forget to let me know you’re coming here: https://sites.google.com/site/hainspoint100/home
(I will probably this evening get an e-mail out to the people that have volunteered to help or provide day-of snacks or baked goods…hang tight. We’ve had an uptick in rider forms submitted so I want to make sure as many people as possible are included. Thanks!)

I’ve already got a BA jersey and socks, so please don’t put my name in the hopper.

ParticipantI’ll be there for a few laps in the morning before I head to Points South.

ParticipantGuess what event on Facebook I just got invited to by another friend? https://www.facebook.com/events/258495870943125/

ParticipantSome have already seen this on the Facebook page but…
Like New Belgium beer? I know I do! (Especially after this ride!)
Like it so much that you’d like a jersey or a trucker hat or a pair of socks from New Belgium Brewery?
Well, you’re in luck! FIVE lucky rider/donors will receive a New Belgium Beer swag package on Sunday.
Oh yeah!
Also, if you want to donate you can go to this new direct link to make your donations to WABA’s Women & Bicycles program.
If you are riding, please be sure you fill out the rider form on the Hains Point 100 page so I know you’re coming.

ParticipantHey Megan, I don’t know if you sent out any emails, but I didn’t receive anything…just a reminder that my wife and I (so weird that we’re a Marc and Meg too) will be bringing boxes of chem-warmers and we’re going to try and set up something for hot cocoa, although I don’t know if a sterno/chafing dish type of setup will be sufficient. But we’ll experiment.
December 20, 2012 at 10:01 pm #958156Megabeth
ParticipantThank you for the chem warmers and the possible hot cocoa set-up! There will be many happy feets and tummys out there.
Just so everyone knows, no e-mails have gone out yet. We are combining one final e-mail to everyone with ride day details. We have had a major uptick in riders over the past few days so I want to make sure I have as many people who are intending to come on the list. And, there are a lot more details to coordinate because of the uptick…which is awesome, but makes more moving parts. Phew!

ParticipantI happy to let ya’ll know that additional “ride day” details are now posted.
December 22, 2012 at 3:10 pm #958253Bilsko
ParticipantI’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s ride!
That is all.

I am too!!!
By the way, folks can follow the ride day festivities on Twitter: @HainsPoint100 Ride hashtag: #HP100

ParticipantEven before this whacky event has occurred it has raised $1,000 for WABA. Congratulations to Megabeth for coming up with this. Good luck tomorrow. May the winds die down and the day be merry and bright.
December 22, 2012 at 11:53 pm #958269jrenaut
ParticipantAs much as I’d love to bring the new bike down tomorrow for a few laps, I don’t think I’m going to be able to. I’ll try and follow along on Twitter, which will totally not be the same.
December 23, 2012 at 12:07 am #958270TwoWheelsDC
ParticipantConsider this a bike decoration throw down.
