Kill Bill 2015

[Steve O]

I am starting this thread because I am hoping those with more information will fill in the details. I have heard rumors, but exact date time and place are not to be found here on the Forum.

Also, this would be a good place for fans and supporters of Kill Bill to organize another KBSR (Kill Bill Social Ride). I’ve heard at least mild interest from sarahybillington and wheels&wings. rcannon, Tania and others were awesome last year. Perhaps they want to spread the joy again.

Although her exact intentions are constantly hidden behind a fusillade of “no comment”s, I hereby appoint kayakcyndi as Senior Advisor Emeritus to those who are interested in organizing the social ride.

And some of my KB2015 pics…

And in the beginning, there were many…

SteveC and me, representing “the team whose name must not be mentioned”

Is that Rod wearing Lycra?

Did that sign say “Hill?”

I’m pretty sure dude with big beard, Matt, rode his first century the previous weekend! 😮

Aune was crying tears of happiness that it was over.

It’s time to highlight all those people who gave selflessly and contributed in ways large and small. I’ll start:

Thanks to (in no particular order):
Karen W – for staging herself in some great spots for photos (although she told me she ended up accidentally discarding a bunch of good ones)
Greg B – For chatting with me for many miles so they seemed much shorter
Boomer – Your incessant picture taking with the smart phone suddenly seems awesome after the fact
Rob L – Certain death without you!
Dread – Inspirational! Mr. consistency–riding just as steady & strong at mile 80 as mile 8. An exemplar of how it’s done.
Cyndi – You were the rider with the biggest heart and soul invested in this ride, and it showed. And it was contagious. Thanks.
Ricky – Thanks for the big smiles and indefatigable cheerfulness. You should come on every ride!
Subby – Likewise–keeping up the positive attitude from mile 1 through the end and at the Beach Shack, to boot.
Matt A – Thanks for rescuing us and guiding us home those last 8 miles or so. None of us knew where to go. We’d still be somewhere in Falls Church without you.
Tania – Thanks for cheering me on at every rest stop; I really appreciated it
Jabberwocky – Thanks for taking on the task of social ride. You nailed it!
Bob C – Blocking the street. Cold beer. Huge cheering. You, sir, are the man.
Kathy L – Commitment to our community par excellence. Nothing more to say but thanks
vicegrip – Thanks for entertaining with your kit; loved it. And way to live up to it by stealing that extra cookie at Spout Run. That was funny.
Jeremy C – Thanks for hammering up the hills so the rest of us didn’t have to
Paula – Wow! Polka dot jersey on 5th Street! The miles and hills fall back, and you just keep smiling. Thanks.
Vin, Chris, Matt, Shawn, Peter, Will – Thanks for making the extra commitment to take on leadership. I know you had to spend personal time to prepare. The ride could not have happened without you.

And, of course, Pete – You are the glue not just for this ride but for hundreds of us people who ride bikes around here. “Thanks” is not a big enough word.

I know I left some people out. Absolutely everyone deserves thanks for at least a cheerful greeting or a pull or helping with a mechanical or just being there to support everyone else. What an amazing group of people you all are.

If you have someone to thank or a story to share, please do so, too.

Huge thanks to everyone who participated and contributed! It took all of us to make that ride a success. We would have all died a horrible death without RobL and Kathy at the resupply stops!

We raised over $4000 for GRASP and that is amazing!
