    I will be sending them a proposed schedule. How’s this?

    6 pm Starting time
    6:15 pm First batch of food
    6:45 pm Second batch of food
    7:10 pm Closing ceremonies and prizes…. (This assumes the ceremony will last about one hour. Does that seem about right? We have a LOT of prizes to give out)
    8:15 pm Third batch of food ….(Does this make sense, or will folks be racing home as soon as the ceremony is over?)

    Thanks for any input! w&w

    Not that my inexperience with a closing FS ceremony is worth anything, but the schedule seems good to me. Do we need to bring a $10 entry fee again?

    Couldn’t think of a specific spot for Bad Brains, but they did perform at the Original 9:30 club which was here at 930 F Street and it’s hard to believe this bustling white collar shopping/business strip of D.C. was once crowded with punk rockers like I was in my teenage years. Wish I could have been here!

    What used to be the flagship Landsburgh department store (8th and E), eventually became the Landsburgh cultural center for a few brief years, and only venue where Minor Threat performed their song “Salad Days” live just this one time. I listened to “Salad Days” album on my way over. Another location could be “Inner Ear Studios” where the “Salad Days” was recorded over in Arlington right off 4 mile run.
    This gave some insight to what it was like back then: https://pages.vassar.edu/musicalurbanism/2013/06/04/view-from-suburbia-dks/

    Here is the real location of the 1972 ICCC held at the Washington Hilton, also where Reagan was shot.
    Had to bikeshare to get there!

    And Benihana gets the point for noticing that Gandhi was still in play

    Next: Cornelius Hawkins

    I was surprised he was still up for grabs after 6 days.

    Did anyone else consider taking a photo of the White House for this one? 😮

    Hey gang,

    If we end up going with Cyclepaths, should it be “Team 10 – Cyclepaths” or something like that?

    I’m fine with whatever, and I’m not saying Cyclepaths is the final consensus for our team name either.

    However, if we do, I gathered some images that could possibly be used for our Strava icon.
    They can be viewed here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/IziJTBREh8Ai75Bj1

    Again, just some suggestions.

    Hey guys, I’m Ben Johnson on Strava. I was at the Happy hour last night and met Bryan and “Fast Friendly Guy” (can’t remember his real name) :)

    I found our Strava team 10 club, and put a post with some name ideas. I’ll go ahead and post them here too, but I do like “No pun in 10”:

    Team 10 speed
    Team 10 degrees
    Saddles up
    Cyclepaths
    Tour de freeze
    Vicious Cycle
