    Reporting for duty. Sorry I didn’t make the Happy Hour yesterday. I live near Quantico and work in DC. I’m not usually around on the weekend or after work hours, but I pledge to ride (at least a sleaze) every day and get at least a megamile in more often than not. Thanks for taking on the Captain role!

    Hey Brad! Welcome! Got cookie?

    I’m open to ideas and suggestions to help you feel part of the team. And let’s kick some FS butt!

    Yay, Erik! Shannon is in Takoma Park too and suggests that we all get together for coffee.
    Short rides count extra! If we all ride consistently (even short rides), it will add up.

    “Keep Calm & Eat Cookies”

    I am in Takoma Park too and generally around the next few weeks, at least after the 21st and not 1/27-28. If Erik or Shannon commute downtown, let’s try to ride in together some time.

    Great idea, Eric! Wow, 3 Takoma Park teammates! And I grew up there.

    Let the rest of us know if you can commute in together. Who knows, maybe more can join.

    hey Andrea, we aren’t on the leaderboard. Did you send jrenaut a PM with the URL of our team’s Strava club?

    Yes! I sent the request in. It might take a day to get onto the leaderboard.

    If we’re not on the board by tomorrow morning, I’ll ask again. Thanks for asking!

    Crazy captain idea—
    How about following your teammate on Strava?
    And give kudos for every activity.
    AND then tell them their a rock star. Or whatever. 🙂

    You both earn a cookie!

    Let’s do it! Please follow me and I’ll follow you!

    Kudos, my friends!

    No need to worry about me. I’ll participate with the team if I can, but will be a team member regardless.

    Yes. If we can get our act together, we could meet up on the CCT and combine riding together with bonus miles. Maybe on a Friday (but not this Friday)?

    Hi team,
    I live in N Arlington about a half mile east of East Falls Church metro. My house is right on the W&OD so I ride that trail and the Custis most of the time. I can ride or take metro to meet in DC or MD for group rides. As many of you saw at the party, I broke my wrist 5 weeks ago and I’m still wearing a cast. It comes off Monday but I don’t know how long it will be before I’m back on my road bike. I’m riding a flat foot bike (Rans) now but not in wet weather so I’ve missed several days. On my road bike I typically ride ~13 mph and 75 miles per week but on the Rans I’m slower and don’t ride as far. I’m looking forward to getting back to my road bike. I hope we get together for some group rides.

    Yessss! Let’s schedule a team commute on Friday, Jan 24.

    We could end up at the Friday Coffee Club at the M.E. Swings at 1702 G St NW, Washington, DC 20006
    Commuters are always there from 7:30 to 9am every Friday.

    Whatcha think, everyone?

    Way to go, Anne! Sounds like your on your way to full recovery! What do you have in mind for group rides?

    Anyone with ideas, please share. Let’s make it happen!!
    I’ll need your help though. I’m a total newb at this FS stuff.

    We’re in — along with the other teams. Guessing that it toook our volunteers a bit of work to make that happen. I’m grateful.

    Time to get that competitive spirit going!
