    My two finally arrived in the mail today. As I picked up two at the kickoff HH to make up for the missing mailed bands, I’ll kick in once again to SteveO’s paypal account and offer two bands to anyone who shows up to the Team 12 6:00pm SnowFest gathering this Friday at Cap City Brewery in Shirlington.

    Okay, neon green band coveters, it looks like I have about a dozen left.
    PM me if you want any, and we’ll work something out.

    I bought 3, gave one to my husband, and managed to lose the other 2 over the weekend (whilst wearing them) :(.

    It’s still possible to acquire one of the highly coveted, limited edition, Freezing Saddles, neon green bands. I don’t plan on ordering another batch next year, so these may end up being the only 250 in existence. I have a handful left that I will award at the final happy hour, providing I receive worthwhile entries as outlined below.

    Rules:
    1 – You cannot already have one. If you already have one or more bands, you are ineligible. If you used to and you broke, lost or gave yours away, then you are eligible to enter (sammyiam).
    2 – You must be present at the final happy hour to collect (or if you aren’t going to be there, you may designate a proxy to pick it up for you). If it’s not taken at the HH, then you forfeit the band.

    To enter:

    Write a haiku or limerick or other short poem form of no more than 5 lines that will make me want to give you a band. It should somehow reference or capture the essence of the band, Freezing Saddles, or both. Clever wordplay is encouraged. Subtle (or silly) metaphor, too. May be humorous or serious: bring a tear to the eye or a chuckle to the throat.

    Each person may submit up to two entries. You may either post them here, or PM them to me if you think they are so good you don’t want others riffing off your genius.

    Contest closes on Wednesday, March 30 at noon.

    There once was a cyclist from the Hinterland
    His love of Team 13 was all too grand
    His cycling was slow
    But always on the go
    He missed the chance to wear a green band

    I already have a green band, so I’m not eligible, but here’s a limerick anyway, on the thoughts of a #BAFS cyclist while riding:

    O how I wish it were hot.
    I thought it might be, but it’s not.
    My saddle is frozen!
    I wouldn’t have chosen
    To have this red nose full of snot.

    Obviously, I have nothing better to do:

    Freezing Saddles rides are great to be on,
    Thought it couldn’t get colder with freon.
    If you want to be seen,
    Go reflective and green!
    (Steve O’s bands are the best, ’cause they’re neon.)

    Me, too.

    There once was a cyclist named dkel
    Made up some rhymes that are real swell
    Very fine fellowgible
    But completely ineligible
    No green band for you, sir…oh well

    and….

    Your limericks are clever and witty
    With scansion and rhyming quite pretty
    Shall I break the rule?
    Oh, don’t be a fool!
    No green band for you, what a pity

    Somebody stop me!!

    OTOH, dkel my friend, dear
    There really is nothing to fear
    Bicycle tag winner
    You don’t get a dinner
    Better yet, though, I owe you a beer

    Dkel thought green bands were real cool,
    And played Steve O’s game like a fool.
    Steve’s game was a flop,
    But that shouldn’t stop
    Steve from breaking his own stupid rule!

    Perhaps I’m not smart as I think:
    I don’t think Steve’s going to blink.
    Without a green band
    To hold in my hand,
    I may as well hold a nice drink!

    Steve O and DKel
    banter on about their bands
    who hears the echo?

    This winter had a few bouts of cold
    ‘tho biking in it was kind of bold
    I rode til I dropped
    yet my team was topped
    a neon band would seem like I won gold
