    Hey all! Glad the team announcements finally came out. Do any of you regularly hit the Coffee clubs or anything? We seem to be pretty geographically spread out.

    I’m not a regular at the coffee clubs but could be convinced to huff it out to Hump Day CC in Alexandria or even pancake Mondays in Vienna from time-to-time. Fridays @ Swings can work on the very early end (unfortunately I have teaching obligations at 8am on Fridays). Best way to get me out would be a pastry, dumpling, or beer ride.

    I am in Foggy Bottom most days but — full disclosure — am not actually the secretary of state.

    With enough notice I can make almost anything. Afterwork and the weekends are best for me though.

    Any thoughts on a team name? Squadra Frosty?

    Pancake Mondays are in Falls Church – not as far as you thought. I’m going tomorrow if you are off work.
    Lazy Mike’s at the corner of Route 7 and Shreve/Haycock.

    I am unfortunately out in Springfield and bounded by kids and distance so have not been to a CC yet. I’d love to try to meet folks this year though, so keep me in mind.

    Team 5 Standings 1/14/19

    Were in last place! I think I may know why. 3 of us aren’t on the leaderboard even with qualifying rides (Toubob,bensdc, and joesquito). I’ll get this sorted.
    I emailed you three that are not showing up what to do. Start with trying to reauthorize your Strava accounts at this link: https://freezingsaddles.org/authorize

    Bob J 844 points (13 days, 714 miles)

    Ryan W 203 points (13 days, 73 miles)

    To paraphrase Gordon Gecko … Sleaze is good.

    Hi Teammates;

    Just wanted to say hi. Sorry I can’t join in on any group rides as I’m up in Michigan. Though I was in Virginia last week for FS opening event and to ride in the snow. It was great meeting Frank, Samuel, Joe and Ryan. Hopefully
    we’ll move up the team rankings. Those 1 mile sleaze rides for 11 points really add up and make a difference if you can get it in.

    Ride warm and safe.

    Bob

    Who would be up for a team happy hour next Wednesday or Thursday (1/30 or 1/31)? Based on our team heat map (http://dcbikemap.com/heat/), it seems like Columbia Heights is our geographic center.

    I hear Meridian Pint on 11th St has a brilliant selection of tap beers but have never been. Anyone interested?
