Awwww yissss, it’s the moment you’ve been waiting for all winter long!

BikeArlington is pleased to announce that we’ll be giving away a head covering of choice at the end of competition happy hour to anyone who has perfect attendance for the winter! We’ll take a look at the charts and tally up all the names of folks have ridden each and every day (and there are a lot of you this year!!) And don’t worry, if you can’t make it to the happy hour we’ll figure out some other way to get them to you. (I.E. you’re going to come by our offices and pick up your prize at some point–or arrange to catch me down at Hains Point)

You have TWO choices for which item you’d like. We have a choice of either a mid-weight under-the-helmet skullcap or a traditional cycling cap. Both are based on the same patterns/colors/logos as our more recent jersey design.

We’ll probably also have some scarves again this year to give out to folks who might not have been eligible for perfect attendance…

Someone has an office with a window? Man, I wish *I* had an office with a window.

Beautiful downtown Rosslyn! I used to look up the hill at Tim’s office.

Aww too cool! When I see those on the road I will acknowledge the mark of the badass.

Bummer that I was ineligible from day one due to holiday travel.

This makes it all worth going out in the blizzard.

That’s a joke, right?

Or just wait for him to lap you.

I just told my 11-year-old son that I could win one of these hats if I ride one more day. I pointed to the regular cap and told him that I’d probably choose it over the skullcap, and when I pointed to the skullcap he said, “well, I don’t think anyone would look good in that.” Sorry, BikeArlington: sixth grade sensibilities are where it’s at.

It’s not about looking good (I’m old enough to not care), it’s about staying warm. I’m going with the skullcap. Combine that with snugglefestival’s Team 12 gaiter and I’ll not only be a riot of colors but quite warm for next year’s Freezing Saddles.

And also the butt of many sixth-grade jokes, apparently.

Uh, fingers crossed, you will be the butt of the seventh-grade jokes next year. Those are even more immature.

Oooh! I already have plenty of skull cap type things, but no bicycle caps. Hope that they are not too small for my noggin.

I’d say with most skullcaps, it’s a technical item that shouldn’t be worn just on it’s own. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, when the helmet comes off the skullcap comes off too.

This is true of most cycling gear, isn’t it? :p

On several of my rides, when the helmet comes off, the skullcap goes on. And vice versa.
