1/28/25. FEVER

If your #withkid has a FEVER after daycare, you can take them to PM Pediatrics

ebop and family moved about six miles west last December, but he still wants to ride to swim practice at the Franconia Rec Center and his reading time at the Sherwood Regional Library.  Now that ride is 12 miles longer and includes lunch and dinner at Kingstown shopping center if dad is too chill to pack food.

Dunkin Donuts always puts me in a Sunny mood,especially during cold, dark commutes.

@alison-m, I was going to say that’s probably a better measure of where snow gets cleared and the trail network is complete.   There are no slackers in this year’s group of parents.

It looks like this year’s Kidical competition is going to be the Bunch Bike vs. the long tails, and right now the Bunch Bike is crushing it!

This game makes me appreciate my neighbors and neighborhood on days would just be cold and dark.

Hi Team,

I’m Tom, and this is shot of me at a “Car Show” with my kid hauler (“the beast” on Stravan, and my only ebije).  This is my second Freezing Saddles, and I’m sponsoring the Pointless Kids prizes.

I’m looking forward to riding with you this year!

Silver Diner is a FANCY take on the traditional American diner.  The buffalo sausage breakfast tacos are amazing and kinda fancy.

I had a thought for prizes this year: for parents, towels with BAFS2025 <PRIZE> CHAMPION written on them.

Towels are the ultimate accessory for riding with kids, whether it’s drying off wet slides, sopping up spilled drinks or making sun-heated seats bearable.  Last year I found an Etsy vendor who does really good embroidery, so these can even look good (until pressed into sopping duty).

For the kids, I’d like to award a helmeted Lego Minifigure on top of a stack of bricks that represents the grown-up riders the withkid would have bested this year.  The top two will get minifgures on Lego bicycles.

For example, the current #2, “ebob” would get a minifigure on a bicycle on top of a stack of 21 bricks (Saddlero #229 rode 15 miles, ebop rode 16.6).

I know @jrenaud had to stop bribing his kids with Legos, but mine are just starting their journey with bricks.  What do other withkid riders think?
