Freezing Saddles Happy Hour

[rcannon100]

Freezing Saddles ends on the last day of Winter. That is March 20.

Phoenix Bikes annual bike show happens to be on Thursday March 21, in Crystal City.

As you know, Phoenix Bikes make our first place prizes!

This seems like opportunity. Now first, the 2013 Phoenix Bike Show is a fund raiser so tickets are $30 bucks at the door, or $25 ahead of time. (Since Freezing Saddles was free – perhaps thats not too much of a burden?)

Options:

(a) We have a happy hour before hand, near the Phoenix Bikes bike show – perhaps have Phoenix Bikes present the awards – and then many of us can head over to Phoenix Bikes bike show after wards. or

(b) Just do the whole thing at Phoenix Bikes. Have the award of the first place prize at the Phoenix Bikes show. Would have to talk to Henry about this. He might object severely to us bringing a herd of folk over to a fund raiser, you know, contributing money to the good cause. :rolleyes:

I went to the bike show last year. It was great. Sat next to Libby Garvey for a little and got to talk bikes with her. And that is also where the idea for the Freezing Saddles award came from.

Thoughts? Still could use a volunteer to lead up the happy hour.

Thanks – glad you can make it. (I miss that “like” button.)

I hope one of them is related to complaining about the wind.

Or maybe we should just collectively award that one to ourselves as a group.

The omniscience of the Unassailable Czar will be apparent at the awards ceremony.

I’ll probably stop by Happy Hour for a little while. I’ve got a busy day, but it would be nice to see y’all!

I am planning to attend.

Anyone riding out from DC want to convoy? I’m at L’Enfant Plaza, but can go out of my way to meet, especially if you know where you’re going.

I’ll be riding there from capitol hill, but a little unsure of my departure time.

I’m going to try and leave Foggy Bottom around 445, but my wife may not be able to make it quite that early, so it may be a bit later by the time we roll out. We’ll probably roll down 21st NW, around the Lincoln, and over to Ohio and the 14th St. Bridge.

[jrenaut]

I could definitely meet someone at the 14th St Bridge pretty much any time. On the early side is better for me.

Sounds like 14th St Bridge would be a good meetup point – I’m planning on riding down and was going to skip out of work a little early, so I can spend a few more minutes sitting at the bar – rolling out of West End/Foggy Bottom sometime around 3:45-4:00.

I’ll probably be hitting 14th St. Bridge around 440. We can meet by the CaBi Station right there if you’d like. I do know where we are going.

That’s probably a little too early for me, but it might be doable. I’ll check my schedule Thursday.

440 at the CaBi station sounds good.

I can go to a BAFS pre Happy Hour around 3:30pm, but then I have to leave at 4pm. Anyone else?

Laurie and I will try to make the 4:40 meetup at the CaBi station. But don’t wait for us… -Jeff
