Go Steve!

Now solidly in 3rd with a 46 point cushion.

Be careful tomorrow, but try to sleaze something out. My neighborhood is flat enough that I could “flintstones” for a mile if need be.

Hi!

Oh, a screenshot from a week-and-a-half ago when you guys were on top… those must be fond memories!

IIRC, we were about 7th then and at least 300 points behind you. Now we’re basically tied! I like those trends…

Whoo hoo! We are in 3rd!!!!! Great work with everyone out and riding over the last couple of days!

But here’s the bad news: we’re only up by 10 points, and those sleazy Dozers are probably out there right now, scheming to catch us. So, since the roads are still fine, let’s shoot for 10/10 scoring points today with some after work sleazing and see if we can hold onto 3rd.

**14th St bridge to Central Arlington @ 3:30 mostly good**

Sleet coming down, but sidewalks, trails, and pavement all just wet. The only trouble spot on my route was the wooden bridge from the Pentagon Marina over to Pentagon north parking, which had a crunchy 1/2″ of sleet/slush/ice. I stayed moving, but slowed WAY down. I assume all the wooden bridges along MVT are similarly slick.

No problems at all on Jefferson Memorial sidewalks, 14St bridge, MVT (near and over humpback), path along RT27 NNW of the pentagon, AF monument hill or neighborhood streets in Arlington Heights/Alcova.

Thanks for the update… my previously missing ride from today is synced now.

The other ride that I was missing was operator error on my part. I looked at it a little more closely in Strava, and I figured out the problem… I had accidentally tagged it as a stationary trainer (I was wondering why the GPS map wasn’t showing for that ride). I “untagged” the trainer button and after about 5 minutes FS had pulled it in.

I stand in awe of this technology.

Colleen: your 21.3 today – my 14.8 so far today = 6.5. My ride home is 7.4…just sayin’.

I guess this means I gotta go out again too. (btw, knock on wood, but we’re back in 5th)

What the heck happened? Maybe we shoulda done a group ride yesterday…

Well, at least it inspired me to do more than my usual weekend errand/sleaze rides this morning. Just got back from what started out as a short out-and-back that turned into an Arlington Loop. Though that will still leave us in 7th.

Go Voldemorts, go!

I noticed this yesterday as well — only on the “various” pages; everything else works great.

At home this was on OSX w/ Chrome (did not try other browsers)

Seeing the same thing at work on Win7 w/ Chrome
Not seeing the issue at work w/ Win7 + IE9 [that is, the chart draws and stays up]

More importantly, on the strength of a solid showing at pedals n’ pints and some others putting in great weekend rides, we’ve not only passed Lucky Pr1m3s, but also 10 below. We are now in 5th place with only 38 points needed to catch Doozy Dozers!

you are now responsible for settling on a name

Not sure how I, of all us dysfunctional children, got tagged, but aye aye, cap’n!

you can do it any way you want.

Alrighty, then… Let’s see how complicated I can make this. The goal is consensus, so…

Each team member picks & posts their three favorite names, in no particular order. Post by midnight Friday. If there’s a single clear consensus winner (i.e. everyone who votes selects that name), that’ll be the name. If there are a few that are tied or nearly so (say within 1), we’ll have a vote-off and try to get to 20 pages on this thread. If enough Team [redacted] members are at the pints ride, as determined by Cap’n Steve, they’ll pick a run-off winner then. With a little luck this will lead to a 6-way tie and we can argue till March.

I gave Dasgeh her “I hate dogs” veto, but no more vetoes.

In the next post I’ll recap as near a complete list of all the names suggested as I could be bothered to do, but I took the liberty of filtering those into a top 12 so you needn’t slog through the whole list.

Team Gridlock
Psychotic Democracy
Cat Herders
Everything is Awesome
The Chain Gang
The Salty Gods
Grande-sized Elfs
Snot Rockets
Team V: The Final Frontier
Self-Induced Sufferfest
The-team-who-must-not-be-named
Davy Jones’s Bakfiets

[Alcova cyclist]

“Dazed Elf Singers”
“Feds Deal Zingers”
“Zed’s Lead Fingers”
“Grande sized Elfs”

are all anagrams for freezing saddles

What’s it gonna take to get Bill, Erin and Maddie out on some sleeze rides?

Erin just clocked in with an evening ride — Whoo Hoo! I just not-quite-sleazed 2.3 miles, so we’re back in 6th.

Take that, pr1m3s… 10 Below is next!

Go [REDACTED]!
