What’s it gonna take to get Bill, Erin and Maddie out on some sleeze rides?
Erin just clocked in with an evening ride — Whoo Hoo! I just not-quite-sleazed 2.3 miles, so we’re back in 6th.
Take that, pr1m3s… 10 Below is next!
Go [REDACTED]!

Excellent…wasn’t sure if it showed up or not.
I got a new balaclava (way cool), but my glasses keep fogging up. Any suggestions on how to help that, please? Thanks!
Legos are good.

I never said I was offended by snot rockets… just that I really didn’t like the name.
I think there’s been a dozen better names suggested, but if there’s consensus on SR from others, I’m not going to lose any sleep if that winds up being our name.
On the upside, it seems we’ve been keeping RCannon and Steve O here egging us on instead of going out and racking up miles, so we might as well keep squabbling.
Or we could meet in secret, decide on a name, and then refuse to tell anyone else what it is, especially not certain lurkers.
Go Team [REDACTED]!
Since you are now responsible for settling on a name, you can do it any way you want.

My solution for fogging glasses has been to try as much as possible to direct my breath away from my glasses, particularly when stopped. It sounds kind of silly, I know, but I kind of blow out instead of exhaling normally, and it seems to keep things from fogging up. The good thing is that nobody can see my awkward mouth position, because my face is covered. It’s totally dorky, but it works for me. Yeah…dorky…I go with what comes naturally.

ParticipantLast attempt at a team name:
1. The cyclists with no name
2. The no namers
3. Those who refused to be named
4. Team anonymous
5. The Dysfunctional Cyclists
6. Team Psychotic Democracy
7. Team GridlockOr we can just give our team naming rights to whomever winds up on top of this week’s team leaderboard, to chose as they see fit, and put an end to our misery…

ParticipantI use a vented neoprene face mask and a separate skull cap so that my glasses don’t fog up.

Not sure how I, of all us dysfunctional children, got tagged, but aye aye, cap’n!

Alrighty, then… Let’s see how complicated I can make this. The goal is consensus, so…
Each team member picks & posts their three favorite names, in no particular order. Post by midnight Friday. If there’s a single clear consensus winner (i.e. everyone who votes selects that name), that’ll be the name. If there are a few that are tied or nearly so (say within 1), we’ll have a vote-off and try to get to 20 pages on this thread. If enough Team [redacted] members are at the pints ride, as determined by Cap’n Steve, they’ll pick a run-off winner then. With a little luck this will lead to a 6-way tie and we can argue till March.
I gave Dasgeh her “I hate dogs” veto, but no more vetoes.
In the next post I’ll recap as near a complete list of all the names suggested as I could be bothered to do, but I took the liberty of filtering those into a top 12 so you needn’t slog through the whole list.
Team Gridlock
Psychotic Democracy
Cat Herders
Everything is Awesome
The Chain Gang
The Salty Gods
Grande-sized Elfs
Snot Rockets
Team V: The Final Frontier
