I’m sponsoring a pointless prize this year to encourage BAFS participants to volunteer. The prize is that I will donate $500 to a 501(c)3 organization of the winner’s choosing.* I will donate $100 for the second and third place participants to a 501(c)3 of their choosing.
The rules:
1. You gotta ride your bike to the volunteer thing
2. You gotta post on this thread and tell us volunteer thing you did with a picture of your bike at the thing
3. I’ll award 5 points for each volunteer thing you ride your bike to and post about
4. I’ll award double points if your volunteer thing involved: Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail, Phoenix Bikes, Gearin Up, WABA, Velocity Co-op, Alexandria BPAC, Sustainable Mobility of Arlington County, Fairfax Alliance for Better Bicycling and any of the Families for Safe Streets groups
5. I’ll post volunteer events on this thread that have bonus point opportunities attached to them
6. I will award bonus points if something in your post catches my fancy, such as a nice picture, a heartwarming story or sometimes if I just like the cut of your jib
7. I’ll tabulate and post scores once a week or so*As long as the organization doesn’t work towards something I find morally repugnant which I will loosely define as any organization that advocates against something included in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Spent Tuesday evening removing old/worn parts from donated bikes at Phoenix Bikes in Arlington. Worked on a steel bike from the 70s that’s unbelievably still in decent shape!

Done … and donated much more than a buck!
Any bonus points for fixing a broken chain for a competing BAFS2022 team captain so that she can crush it on the final day of competition?

Finished out FS with a bike to Jones Point and some trail edging. A good turnout-
we missed you Judd, but understand you were away for the weekend. PS-have my selfie skills improved? (You’d say no if you knew how many tries it took to get this one).Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
10 Points for volunteering at Phoenix Bikes! I know a couple of folks from the 70s that are still in good shape too.
