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

    You’re contemplating joining a contest involving biking through a DC winter, and won’t join if there are crazy people in it? I don’t think that word means what you think it means!

    Can I bring a plus one? He is also a cyclist and WABA member (and subsequently loves beer and good times), but will not be participating in the competition.

    Biking through a DC winter is perfectly normal. That beard, however, is not.

    There is now! 1 hour and 5 min left before George Bailey comes down the chimney and beats up the banker Potter (hey! I like this movie!)
