Amazon, if you shop thru them, has some 26″ with prime shipping

I’m going to dig the studded tires out and go to coffee at Eastern Market Peregrine on Saturday, thinking Capitol area streets will be kept passable

The weather forecast is getting ugly for Friday and Saturday, big snow predicted. You can probably get a ride in early Friday morning (before 8am), but conditions will get challenging by Friday afternoon. Competing for the road with snow plows is not not fun. Hopefully the snow will stop by late Saturday, and some roads plowed enough for a sleaze ride, but I’m thinking snowfall of more than a foot could break my string of days. Too bad cross country skiing isn’t an alternative to miles. Weather Dave

Right you are Dave. I’ve got the same plan for Fri/Sat. Here in the city I expect to see some plowing on the main thoroughfares and will take out a Cabi bike for a sleaze ride if the system is not turned off.

Looking at the leaderboard, our team is doing really well on the daily rides, very impressive. We are closer in points than miles to some teams just ahead.

I’ll be there on Thursday — great choice. Look for me at 6:30 pm.

Tomorrow (Sunday 17th) Mary and I will be riding the Leesburg Loop from DC — outbound via W&OD to Leesburg, to Whites Ferry, and back via Poolesville, Potomac, Georgetown. Let me know if you want to join up for any/all, we’ll ride a 15 mph average speed. We’ll stop at Amouri Coffee on the way out in Vienna. The loop is 86 from our house in SW DC, we’ll add some miles along the way or Hains Point to get to 100.

See you all Thursday if not sooner.

Ok, team, let’s meet for what I hope to be our first of many happy hours on Thursday 1/21 at 6pm at Right Proper Brewing Co in Shaw.

Also, it looks like the points are quite tight between our team and teams ahead of us (team 20) and behind us (team 13), so keep on getting in those miles! An interesting note is that team 13 actually has more miles than us, but because we had more team members getting in daily rides, we have more points. So sleaze rides definitely help too!

Thanks Sara for the kudos and same to everyone on the team turning the pedals — especially today.

I like Team Tri-cicles as well.

Hey folks,

Ed Felker here. I’m new to the forum mostly and new to BAFS. I live in SW DC near Arena Stage and Hains Point and bike commute to NoMA for about 7 miles roundtrip weekdays, plus the odd evening HP lap, grocery store run and other city errand.

Weekends my wife Mary and I get out on our tandem for century rides — we’re longtime members of the DC Randonneurs. You may have met us at Friday Coffee Club in downtown DC at Swings Coffee.

She signed up late — this week — and is awaiting assignment to a team other than 21. Am I getting that right, that the unofficial group for unassigned late signups?

I’m looking forward to meeting you all. My Twitter is @dailyrandonneur and I’ll be blogging at The Daily Randonneur https://thedailyrandonneur.wordpress.com/

And, yes, I’ll help with captain stuff as soon as I find out what to do.

Regards, Ed

Mary (Coffeeneur) will join me.

[Felkerino]

I’ll be there, with bike. I’ll try to bring Coffeeneur as well.
