Team Misfit Toys AKA Team Chopped Liver, I will be taking the steps to set the team up – I haven’t captained an FS team before, so expect glitches, but meanwhile you can go out and ride !

You’re welcome! Let me know if you need any help with anything.

Correction.

claudia is NOT on Misfit Toys. I accidentally assigned her even though she’s already on another team (my team, no less!) Need to fire the guy in charge of teams!

Instead, bbaker89 is now on Misfit Toys.

Also Boomer was telling me he was going to be on this team …. I don’t know his forum name (probably Boomer?[emoji848]) but none of the team member names look likely….

No one was promised that they would be on a team. But everyone who was on the waiting list was told there was a decent chance they’d be able to play FS if I was able to form another team plus the inevitable having to replace riders due to whatever. And to be clear, everyone on the waiting list are riders who missed the registration deadline.

Our strava club has been created!

Here is the link to it

Come join, while there is still time!

Hi All,

Hakalugi here, just re-authorized FS to read my strava 411, and joined the strava team. I’ve been out of town skiing, so need to get back on the bike and contribute!

Nah. Don’t bother. It’s too cold out there. Take it easy for a couple weeks before riding again.

agreed! sure we’re in 20th place, but it’s handy to just hit CTRL + END to find ourselves here: https://freezingsaddles.org/leaderboard/team_text

we do have 75% of the time/days still remaining, so there’s plenty more to go.

i just bought some Pogies for my commuter bike, gonna sneak in a ride before the hockey game tonight, my normal winter gloves weren’t enough on yesterday, my fingers were quite cold.

[hakalugi]

anyone up for a team 20 group ride?

we seem to be a VA / DC based team: http://dcbikemap.com/heat/

i’m flexible on location, would prefer gravel or path vs. true road (i ride road when i need to, but I’d rather avoid txt’ing-drivers on pleasure rides)

[hakalugi]

I’m gonna try to make the dumpling ride on 2/2 if anyone’s up for it:

Okay now that we are all onboard, we can do some introductions here (prior to doing a ride or happy hour together)

My name in the “real world” is Ken. I live in the forgotten corner of Alexandria up west of Fairlington (IE West Alex, but NOT “the West End”) I have been riding pretty regularly for the last seven years, started to bike commute on BTWD 2013 (and came on here to ask a zillion questions), moved back to Alex from FFX in 2014, began to attend coffee club and bike commute more frequently then. I currently bike commute to work roughly 3 to 4 days a week, like to ride for errands, and enjoy “social paced” recreational rides. I am also involved in bike ped advocacy (as part of Alexandria BPAC)

I am as noted, your captain. I am all in favor of democracy by leader laziness, so invite everyone on the team to make suggestions, organize things, and do whatever else you are moved to do (as well as ride a lot of course)

Look forward to seeing y’all.
