In Kansas City for my parent’s 60th wedding anniversary. Part of today’s agenda is to find the time and a bike to at least get in a sleaze ride.

Vern, The Bicycle Shack (in/near Grandview) has rental bikes. I guess B Cycle is an option, too, depending on where you are in KC.

Hello,
If you all are missing team members, let me and/or Amy know. I would be glad to give you their contact information, or can reach out on your behalf. Just let me know. Draft a message, if possible.

[elwbikes]

Just FYI, you all indicated in registration that you preferred to be on a Virginia-based team, so most or all of you are in VA.

[elwbikes]

Btw, I’m Emma. Commuting to work by bike (NE DC to far west NW DC). Did freezing saddles last year, this year I was the registrar (you can complain to me about our team set up!). Hmm…what about “team baby” ? Lol.

[elwbikes]

Any ideas, teammates?

[elwbikes]

Will do! In a minute, still waking up.

So perhaps we can devise a unique visual sign. One idea, as per wheels&wings suggestion, would be to tie something on the handlebars, like a red ribbon or a white handkerchief or the like.
I rarely see white cuff holders. If we could get a supply of those, maybe?

Perhaps we could order a supply of these in a new color, like green or pink. Customized for Freezing Saddles, everyone could get 2 for about 3 or 4 bucks. Put it on your bike or your ankle and we’ll know it’s you. We’d never get them in time for the happy hour, though, so distribution could be difficult.
Additional thoughts?

I like either the ribbon or the reflective thing, one note–Women & Bicycles has white ankle cuffs. That is a somewhat small subset, but also an overlapping subset

Pink and green are fun though!

Arlingtonrider I’ll be there early with nametags! And team assignments.

[elwbikes]

I’ll be there!

[elwbikes]

Jongon I’m with you!

[elwbikes]

Bruno, I’m about 10 steps ahead of you. Those who requested regional teams may be lucky enough to have their wish granted!

[elwbikes]

Teams are announced at the happy hour and on the forum. Points will still be recorded starting January 1.

[elwbikes]

Hi hodgesse, the kickoff happy hour and team announcements are Jan 8 at cap city brewing in shirlington. More info on that thread.

[elwbikes]

I picked up a wheelset and studded tires this year, can’t wait to try them out! Er…hope I won’t be using them too often.

[elwbikes]

Terpfan we’ll include you!
