    Thanks for posting. He was my Freezing Saddles teammate in 2017 and I helped him with data for numerous pointless prizes. I met him at numerous bikey events. He was an easily likable guy and he will be missed.

    Chris was also a good friend of my brother’s, they knew each other through youth ministry in the Catholic church. When we finally met at the FS final happy hour a couple of years ago, he sought me out specifically so I wouldn’t be just “Paul’s sister” (story of my life) anymore.

    This fall Chris ran the Army Ten Miler the day after riding the Seagull Century. The very next weekend, he ran a half marathon in Baltimore. The next day he suffered a heart attack. When it’s your time…..

    RIP Chris, you’ll be greatly missed. My brother and I will be there on Monday as well.

    Goddamnit… this is terrible. I met Chris a couple of times at FS happy hours and we were teammates in 2015. I also liked reading his posts on here and on twitter. He was incredibly easy to talk to and supportive of everyone he met.

    I am so very sorry to see this sad news. Chris used to pass by me occasionally on my commutes and always slowed down to say hi and chat for a minute. Really nice person.

    Shocked and sad to hear this. I only met Chris briefly during Freezing Saddles this year. He was always positive and friendly on Twitter and relished living up to his Twitter handle by being multimodal during his commute. He was incredibly thankful when I donated to his ALS fundraising ride at Seagull Century this year.

    Chris was the kind of person who made you feel like his best friend every time you saw him, even if you didn’t see him very often. I don’t know how he did it. I’ll miss him.

    I volunteered at BikeDC with Chris and as soon as we saw the diminished crowds at registration we got on our bikes and rode the ride…such a beautiful person I’m shocked and saddened by this news!
    Erin I’d like to go with you…

    Does anyone know a good route to bike to the funeral? Seems like it would be a good tribute to Chris to ride there.

    Reji knows a good route from the W&OD through the neighborhoods to Route 50 near Fairfax HS. Rebel Run, the road to the HS, can take you to Old Lee Hwy, which is not too busy with cars, although I think I’ve only driven there.

    This is horrible news. So sad. Chris was a great athlete and a kind and conscientious co-conspirator on Freezing Saddles. Rest in peace, Chris Maimone.
    Sorry I can’t make the funeral (I’m still in Brooklyn). Hugs. w&w

    I was very saddened to hear of Chris’s passing. We would run into each other occasionally during our commutes when I lived in Fairfax. He was always quick to offer a hearty greeting and a warm smile. He will be missed.

    Here a are a couple of options for getting to St. Leo’s by bike.

    I attended the wake and visitation this afternoon. There were scores of people there and a long line to sign the book. Chris clearly touched many, many people. This is very sad.
    Peace, friend.

    I know I’m late to this, but I’m reading this now for the 1st time. I am also stunned and saddened. He was a wonderful guy and though I only saw him in person every-once-and-again, we were frequently in the same cyber-spaces.

    When I was starting my Climate Ride attempt and afraid of fundraising, he gave me invaluable encouragement and advice. Including: “You receive what you ask for.” God bless him…
