    Super excited about BAFS this year and wanted to post members of our team here. Three of us (Adriana and Dan) landed at the Highline last night for the Happy Hour kickoff and found each other. I was able to snap a quick pic of our teammates and wanted to share for those of the team who were not able to make it. I think team lead is Lee.

    • Lee Malatesta
    • Adriana Stringer
    • Dan Behrend
    • Marc Mitcham
    • Eddie Reotutar
    • Brian Miller
    • Laurie Ellis
    • Michele Mintling

    Also, I’ll do a quick introduction.

    My name is Brian Miller and this will be my third consecutive year participating in BAFS. I don’t do much commuting by bike but enjoy getting rides in on the weekend and occasionally at nights or in the early morning. I do have a subscription to the CaBi and can sometimes be found doing a quick loop from my desk to Dupont Circle and back.

    My primary reason for doing this is to get out of the house during the colder months, explore and to be involved with the greater cycling community of DC. I hope to get a ride in with all of you at some point this year. Some of us talked about doing the loop around DC and it might be a good team outing.

    We should probably wait for the team lead to make an announcement about team name this year. If you have ideas, please share.

    Oh! and please feel free to introduce yourself.

    Hey all!

    I got my call up from the minors to join this team, very excited to join The Show.

    My name’s Sam, I’m in Ballston area of Arlington. I joined the competition to keep motivation through the winter months – didn’t get as many miles as I would’ve liked last year. I occasionally commute to work now that there are working showers in my office building (hooray). Seems like I’ll be bottom of the pack mileage-wise, my hope is to increase my time in the saddle.

    Thanks for setting this up and reaching out – looking forward to biking lots more and meeting everyone.

    I just saw this. Have fun, looks like it’ll be a blast. I’ll be on my way back from Richmond on Saturday so I won’t be able to participate.

    Please let us know if there are any more of these in the future.

    I don’t have a gravel bike (yet) but do you think this is doable on an a mountain bike? It looks like it’s a mix of gravel and road so I already it’s going to be slow going riding on actual paved roads.

    Good times, everyone. Glad we got together to do this. Would love to do more of these if we can. Oh and Astro Doughnuts was great.

    Ricky, thanks for the pic and the ride back up the mbt.

    Dan posted about the WABA Annual meeting and Bicyclist Choice Awards (tonight) in our Strava team. I’ll be there tonight as well.

    This will be my first time attending the annual event so I’m not sure what to expect. A link to the event is below and begins as early as 5:30, with the Awards beginning at 7:30. Hope to run into some of you this evening.

    The Hill Center
    921 Pennsylvania Ave SE
    Washington, DC 20003
    (2 blocks from the Eastern Market Metro Station)
