This looks like road to me.

Missed you at the happy hour tonight. I was a big Pete Beers fan, so we have that connection. Just need to know how to sign up for our strava team. I’m not a strava user except for this event.

To intro myself, I live/work in Reston. When it’s possible, I teach biking skills to people of all ages. I’m also a licensed atty in VA so I use that for advocacy and forward thinking. I’m an exec committee member of Reston Bike Club and work very hard to bring biking people and others together. In 2016 I rode across the country from Seattle to DC. It’s been 5 years – looking for my next challenge. I did commit to riding an average of 20 miles per day for 2021. So far, so good.

Hi Matt! Thanks for being a captain! I enjoyed riding with you a couple weeks ago.

Hi! My name is Karen – happy to meet some of you tonight! I’m a bit of a weekend tourist rider – but will try to pick up my game for this competition – if you have any suggestions for routes / places to visit? I just bought a cool 1980s road bike – my first bike that was not from the tip or a real budget third- or fourth-hand mountain bike, so keen to try it out.

Hey all, I’m Robyne. Enjoyed seeing and meeting most of you at the HH today. I’m especially looking forward to getting full strength back in my leg and climbing some gravel hills! And, I have a brand new mountain bike with just 20 miles on it before a driver decided to occupy the space I was in. I had no skillz before but am really anxious to get back at it soon.

Please post the link to the Strava club for the team here. That way folks on your team can join and we can add the team to the https://freezingsaddles.org/ leaderboards.

sorry, forgot to add that to the initial post.

https://www.strava.com/athletes/4571114 is me on Strava as well. I’ll try to find and follow everyone on the team I don’t already.

Sorry to have missed HH team, I left work late and was getting in miles and stopping at the grocery store. Totally forgot about it when I got home around 8pm.

Not sure how competitive everyone wants to be, but I think we could easily be right up in the top of the mix.

I’m awed that you’re back at it so quickly and determinedly (is that a word?). Look forward to riding with you – we’re not too far apart geographically.

Karen I would love to show you the area out here in the Reston/Herndon zone that can build on your Udvar-Hazy trips. That said, it’s a time sink to get out here from DC, so do try to ride around the city even a little bit each day. It adds up for your health and sanity! Feel free to contact me privately for more routes/ideas or to plan a riding trip together. westenhoff at gmail dot com (Same for any other team member who wants to get in touch) Or you can text me 571-215-5353 – just let me know who you are the first time you do.

That was a fun day. I don’t think Madison was even tired when we finished while my legs were toast.

Hi all – I am not good about getting on the bikearlington forum… so sorry for the delay in responding. This is only my second year doing BAFS. I was not able to make the HH so I am hoping to meet some of you at some point. I am definitely a fair weather cyclist but joined BAFS to get me out of the house during the winter. It worked last year and seems to be working so far this year as well. Happy cycling!

Matt – thanks for being our captain! I think I met you at one of your team’s HHs last year that I crashed.

Hi Kellie!

Was that at Lena’s?

Great job at putting in the work everyday too!

[Kelliefromnola]

Matt – Yes, it was at Lenas!
