Yeah, that was implied. Much appreciated!

Any chance of getting a few bonus points for finishing in the top 3 of miles while doing this? It’s one thing to do a lot of climbing per mile, but it’s another to do it all the time. Haha, I figure it can’t hurt asking. Either way, I’m up to the challenge.

Oh wow, I lead something? That’s unexpected! I live in a hilly area and lets face it, climbing is a good way to stay warm. I also am a member of DC Randonneurs that can help sometimes, for instance there is a DCR ride on Saturday, which should add some climbing, all are welcome to join. 67 miles and starts in Glen Echo.

Your team also has an impressive 8.5 ft/mi lead over any other team in FS. Quite a few climbers on 18.

It’s nice to have extra incentive to not head to Hains Point.

I didn’t need much, as I’m pretty sure HP is actually one of the circles of hell.

No, you are Tim the Enchanter and obviously very confused. What is your favorite color?

Can you make a github ticket? Then there’s a tiny chance someone else could do it too. Though, let’s be honest, it’s pretty unlikely.

Better watch your back. It looks like Laura M. of the Titanium Geraniums, has everyone beat. She’s clocking in at an astounding 110 ft/ mile. If she can maintain while meeting the threshold of 29,029 she’ll beat us all!

Everyone pack it in. I’m shutting it down. No more climbing.

Hahahahahahhaha.

Yeah, I’ll make a ticket.

Ok. Since this in an internationally sanctioned bicycling event, I think that we need to have a “sampling” after the competition to prevent “doping”.

The top three finishers will need to provide the prize awarder with their Garmin’s (or whatever it is they use). The awarder will than go on a randomly chosen 40 mile ride with each of the units attached to his bike to determine the “doping” effect. The results will then be adjusted accordingly well in time before the year end happy hour. I will even be happy to help with this, and help defray the costs of beer needed to present at the final happy hour.

I didn’t see an exclusion on ebikes, and I don’t think there is any more tech doping than a bike with a motor.

This is the terrible thing about organized activities in the DC area. No one can ever just chill.

I’m not actually being serious. I’m just trying to make things entertaining around here.

And if you’ve ever been to a concert around here, everyone is pretty much chill. However, driving around here is another story!

Oh, and ps as an edit: I’m certainly not aware of anyone riding ebikes in BAFS. Maybe you know more than I do.
