Lucky 17

[Bruno Moore]

Welcome to Unnamed Team 17.

17 is a number with virtually no interesting geometric, arithmetic, or mystical qualities. It is, however, unlucky in Italy—so be careful on your Bianchi, everyone.

Watch this space for more. There will be more. Much more.

Now, a first Team Announcement: there will be a fit’niss ride this Thursday at 7 leaving Town Center Market for Taqueria Habanero College Park. From the Events thread:

Fitness ride? No, it’s a fit’niss ride—gonna be fittin’ ‘iss here torta into my mouth.

Leaving TCM at 7ish, so get there early if you want to fill your growler or glass. Slowish roll north up the Trolley Trail to Taquiria Habanero, since I’ve been needing birria. After that? I dunno. Maybe Streetcar 82 or Denizens? Or something else entirely?

Leave the race wheels behind. Along with the spare food. Neither will be needed.

(And for the non-Murrlinders: TCM is located at the intersection of the Trolley Trail and Queensbury Road. That’s 4705 Queensbury if you have to tell your GPS)

Dearest team 17

This is Rumi crashing your team thread to announce this year’s “team fundraising challenge” to reward any teams where all 10 members chip in *any amount* to the Feeding Saddles campaign, our annual charity partnership with the Capital Area Food Bank!

To help your team win a cool little prize:

1. Donate Any Amount (every dollar provides two meals!): https://give.capitalareafoodbank.org/campaign/feeding-saddles-virtual-fundraiser-2023/c457737 (if you already have donated, skip to step #2, and yes, you can donate anonymously if you prefer)

2. Hashtag: To count your donation towards your team challenge goal, just edit the title of your latest ride on strava (any ride since Jan 1 really) to include this hashtag:

#FeedingSaddlesTeam17

3. Check out https://freezingsaddles.org/pointless/hashtag/FeedingSaddlesTeam17 to see your team’s progress!

4. When all 10 on your team have chipped in any amount, you WIN! (and so do people who need food!)

In, um, about every sense of “team” possible, yes. Yes indeed.
