    Save the date! The FS Kickoff will be Thursday, Jan 8 at Capital City Brewing Co. in Shirlington, starting around 6 pm, though people may come earlier or later if they like. Cap City has been wonderful to our group, and offers several half price beers and appetizers on Thursdays.

    Last year, we announced the team makeups at this event and posted them online that same evening. The happy hour isn’t mandatory, but is a great chance to meet some of your teammates and competitors, make plans (conspire?) and share information and tips. We’ll also present the Gold Nugget award to the person who rides the most miles on Jan 1, 2015.

    Please let me know (if you can) whether you plan to join us!

    A back story: I tried for a Crystal City venue thinking it might be a little easier for some people to ride to, but I could not find a suitable room for us (i.e., a separate room that doesn’t have five loud TVs blaring sports events). Cap City has ample car and bike parking and is very trail accessible. Bike and car parking info is in the diagram below. In addition, there are about 14 U-racks at the Shirlington Transit Station about a half block away on 31st Street.

    I’ll be there! And Arlingtonrider, as I’m registration co-czarina, I can help make the nametags. I can even print them, if we like!

    Emma, you’re awesome! I’m sending you a PM. Let’s coordinate some things.

    I’m not positive about hereditary titles, but I think she’d be Lady of the Mark.

    “Marchioness” would be the title, and “Lady” the style of address in speech. :)

    I’m coming too. If I ride there in my tights will they let me sit on the furniture? I’m not allowed to at home after a ride.

    The beer alone is enough for me to attend.

    Announcing a NEWBIE GOLD NUGGET AWARD (partly a cross-post from the Volunteers thread)

    At the initial happy hour on Jan 8, in addition to the original Gold Nugget award for most miles ridden on Jan 1, there will also be a separate Newbie Gold Nugget award for the *FS newbie* who rides the most miles on Jan. 1. Competing for these awards is a great way to work off holiday treats as well as to make yourself an instantly valuable member of any team you’re assigned to.

    Please let me know your Jan 1 mileage by Jan 3 if you think you may be a contender for either (or both) of the Gold Nuggets, so that I can determine who the winners are. (Newbies not yet familiar with all the features of the forum- If logged on, you can private message (PM) that info to me by clicking on “Notifications” in the upper right corner, above.). We would really like winners and close contenders to be present at the Jan 8 happy hour when we make the Gold Nugget awards. However, if you absolutely can’t make it, you can designate a proxy to accept the award for you.

    Please, as always, ride safely and have fun!

    I have asked for permission and while there are questions regarding my sanity for signing up for Freezing Saddles, I will attend and drink beer. And ride my bike to and from.

    I’m hesitant to take part if there are going to be crazy guys like this in the group. ;)
