    Hi! We are proceeding as planned for the Happy Hour on 1/27.

    DC has dodged several dozen weather events over the past decade, and while I believe we’re going to see a meaningful storm, I’m cautiously optimistic.

    If Metro OR the Federal Government (via OPM) OR multiple school systems close on Tuesday morning, we will communicate via email, Forum, Strava, & Discord (#General) with a snow date or a cancellation notice.

    Stay safe out there. Sleazes and Decasleazes are okay! Carrying or pushing your bike count, just make sure you call it a bike ride on Strava.
