    Seems in keeping with the slacker theme…I’d call the whole thing a grand success!

    Procrastination is all part of being a slacker! But OK, I’d better sign up before family descends and the madness begins.

    99% of my rides are what Dickie calls “sleaze“. Does that make me a good fit?

    It depends on how many of them you do in a day.

    Or, I guess, bother to record in Strava. That’s gonna be my biggest problem with BAFS, dealing with the kludgy data entry after forgetting to start & stop the phone app. I think I would have to be on the slacker team so as not to let down all the folks that ride 15mi each way to work and then do 50 milers on the weekends for fun. (Ah, what luxury.)

    Teams are weighted. A short distance cyclists will be as crucial to every team as the long distance cyclists – all teams will have both. Teams are formed by adding up the handicap score of each cyclists, and forming teams of ~9 so that each team has approximately the same handicap score. No matter who you are, if you ride more than your handicap, you rock!

    Your biggest problem with BAFS is going to be riding your bike in shitty, soul-crushing weather while the rest of our species is warm and dry in their train/plane/automobile. By comparison, occasionally forgetting to start and stop your phone will be about as challenging as a sleaze ride on a warm breezy day.

    Let the trash talking commence. Just hope you end up on different teams. ;)

    I joined the slacker team for a reason. I’m just a commuter and my commute is my only “free” time, between work and mommy duties, so that is that. I was NOT going to be able to do any extra riding, just for “points.” No way. Then, it got snowy and icy, then I got sick and there I was, dragging team down. The slacker of the slackers. So, today I thought, why not just ride my bike a little, the weather is nice, the rest of the family will drive and I’ll meet them there. No one is harmed, and I’ll get some points for the team. Then, as I was explaining to my daughter why mommy was riding the bike (to get points), without having any idea what I was talking about, she said “I want to get some points too.” So, that’s how I found myself actually doing an extra ride today, with the kid in tow. And it was beautiful day to be doing it. Thanks freezing saddles :)

    Was that with the Weehoo? I spotted a mom and daughter out with a Weehoo on Williamsburg eastbound this afternoon. Sure was a beautiful day for a ride. Seeing you (or them, if this wasn’t you) made me realize that it was in fact warm enough for the “red trailer” (Weehoo) and I felt momentarily guilty for not proposing riding with my son … but he was much-needed napping so the guilt quickly passed. :)

    That was us! Hopefully you didn’t overhear me telling my daughter to pedal harder to get us up those hills.

    I did not! Though the sentiment would be familiar. My son has no excuse for not pedaling [forward] now that he has demonstrated being able to pedal his own bike :)
