Team 7 should stay inside tomorrow where its dry and warm. Eat doughnuts, Little Debbie’s and drink beer

Great work team! I am due a ride tonight. I was in NJ this weekend visiting my brother & his family. I used one of their bikes for a short ride each day. When it warms up a little I am ready to take on longer rides.

A ride to see a movie will always motivate me, so let’s figure one out eventually.

BBBBBEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR!

Ok, the date is set (February 10th) but time the specific time is still slightly up the in air. Need to make sure the breweries are actually open!

We will hit in order:
Hellbender Brewing Company
3 Stars Brewing Company
Right Proper Brewing Company Brookland

All are welcome. As details are completely finalized, I’ll post to a generic thread.

Has anyone mentioned what an awesome team we are???

Oh, and I made a post on the Strava Page about a possible group ride. Please make sure you check that out. I could add that as an official BAFS ride if I see any interest.

Just a quick shout out to everyone who went out and braved a few miles today! Even those poor souls that had to bail out due to icy conditions. We held on our own an a pretty crappy day, and considering how much testosterone is floating around out there, I am impressed. lol, by the way. I am NOT one of those testosterone laden people!

THAT is definitely doable! I don’t think it’s something we should add-on for the ride, especially since we’re on roads, but could swap it in for something. Hellbender is a little awkward to get to with some wicked climbs coming off the NE branch, so could drop that and add on Public Option at the end!

I also like that their culture on paying a decent wage and donating tips to local non profits

So far you are the only three that can have a perfect attendance. You all are awesome, especially considering the weather we’ve had. Keep up the great work!!
And to everyone else (including me), just keep on keeping on!! Remember that we do this for fun. But it’s great to be on a team that seems to really get into the spirit of things. Most of you are quite active on Strava and on the BAFS forum. And it’s much more fun being on a team that likes to have fun. Let’s keep it up!!
I really hope that we can manage to squeeze in some type of team ride before the end.

Yay! I hope we can do a team ride in February. I have some work deadlines keeping me busy this weekend and I’m going out of town next weekend. I am also going out of town for a week+ in February–but I will have bike access the entire time. I do plan and hope to get in some longer rides, but I am going to do my level best to ride every day, even if only a mile. That’s my personal goal. This team provides the encouragement I need!

This is not an infiltrator from the team coming second. Honestly.

This is the kind of question that deserves proper attention. I suggest that team 7 take a three day retreat on this and really workshop it. Take off those bike shoes, and think through a name that will inspire you for the rest of the campaign.

If you all promise to stay off your bikes, I swear I will vote you as the best named team.

[jen_stoly]

I think I may have to report this post!

I do believe we have this on our calendar starting March 20!

Just a reminder team, that based upon what I read from the small print of joining the competition, the winning team gets a special bonus of one million!!! Although that may be in Rupee’s!

Just think of how many awesome bikes (or Big Gulps) we could buy with that!!
