Team 20

[bmif]

Hey, I’m your Captain. My name is Brian.

If you were at the happy hour and I didn’t meet you, I am sorry. We had a tiny, little table that looked like it was part of team 19’s table. It took me most of the night to find it. That shouldn’t shake your confidence in my ability to lead this team to victory, points, doughnuts, beer, fun or whatever it is we decide to focus or not focus on. Also, I created the Strava Group for us, please join:

A little bit about me, since you asked… long time rider, first time freezer. I (like most of you) forgot to check the box that said I won’t ride with people from a specific geographic region. I live in Falls Church. Virginia. It looks like we’ve got a heathy mix of DC, MD and VA on our team. Maybe that will lead to more Freezing Saddles fun? Full disclosure, BMIF is not my original forum name. I originally used another forum member’s name and added a suffix to it. I tried to use this user’s visibility to increase my own while trolling them at the same time. Then I got an e-mail from someone that had gotten some e-mails about it. Lesson learned. Isn’t that what this whole thing is about? Learning lessons that you should have known already? Maybe.

I’d like to organize a Team 20 only meeting. Perhaps we can choose a name and talk about future plans. First on my list of things to figure out: how to create a poll…

Don’t worry. We’ve got this.

I have a 20 mile Wednesday morning hill ride that goes off every Wednesday at 6:10 am that we can do as a team. Corner of Rockingham and Powhatan. 30 easy points and we’ll be done by 715.

I thought that was bmif’s Wednesday hill ride?

I’m thinking Tryst @ 10am. Open to other locations based on who is available and where they live, but this is my first thought. Anyone in Arlington that wants to meet up on the ride in, I’m coming from Falls Church. I’ll go there and drink coffee alone, too. Don’t make me do it.

Saturday @ 10 am Tryst on 18th St NW? Sounds good to me.

Sorry, I meant Tryst on Sunday at 10am. I am leading a group ride from Conte’s Bike Shop in Falls Church tomorrow morning (Saturday) at 8:30a if anyone would like to join. It’s hills, 21 miles and 2000 feet. Chuck, you can come, too. Oh, and FREE DONUTS AFTER!!

Hey Brian! My morning tomorrow is already spoken for (and has nothing to do with riding a bike). Hoping to get out for some sort of ride before watching playoff games.

Please feel free to add any rides and events to the FS Calendar (I just added subby’s weekly hill ride). PM me your google email and I will give you editing rights.

Just make sure you load the route for when you get dropped. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/25630215

Hi I’m Vin, long time Fairfax commuter. I’m having some trouble joining the strava team and not showing up on the boards.

Brian – Letting you and your Team 20 peeps know that they’re welcome to meet me and whoever else shows up at Colada, 1405 T Street NW in DC, ~1100-ish on Monday for coffee. Was at DMV when they opened this morning. Going to see Jumanji later this morning. Will try to get a ride in before Falcons vs Eagles.

Good. You’re also not on the team.

[bmif]

Open to suggestions for location from TEAM MEMBERS. Go.

[bmif]

I’ve posted several things on our strava team page, so check them out if you’re interested. Thursday’s Happy Hour sounds great, but I’m flying back into town and landing at 5:30pm, so I probably (?) won’t make it. Coordinate amongst yourselves.

The ride I lead regularly on Saturday rolls from Conte’s in Falls Church at 8:30a

Sunday I will head up to Vigilante Coffee in Hyattsville. I plan to be there at 10a

Monday will see some laps at Haines Point starting at 7:30a at the corner of Ohio Drive and that other street. The one before you start going in circles.

Tuesday there is another Hill ride in Falls Church, starting from Bikenetic (not posted on our strava page, but you can find it on bikenetic’s facebook page at 9:59pm on Monday night). It rolls at 6a Tuesday morning. I’m usually there.

If you don’t do these bike rides/social events, do other ones. Invite us. Or don’t. But do.

I’ve tried to join your team page so I can keep up with your many rides of fun and camaraderie, but it doesn’t seem too be working. Much confused
