Me and the wife BYKGRL will be there tonight. We will be riding from Bikenetic at 5:45pm if anyone wants to join.

Whew! Finally got logged in after forgetting my password and being locked out for 15 minutes…four times in a row. Soooo, it’s 2:19am now, but that’s not too unusual. I get most of my “work” done during the wee hours when everyone else is sleeping. It’s amazing not having any distractions. Although 50 Shades of Gray is running in the background which I’ve never seen before….and whoa!….not what I was expecting.

I’m Jan (pron. Yon) and am married to bykgrl of Team 7. I am also Miked63’s SO (it’s complicated) which means with my approval he’ll have plenty of time for those Saturday and Sunday rides. Don’t worry, I’ll talk to this “wife” of his to make sure her and the baby are all set. I’ve known Mike about a year longer than he’s known his baby, so I feel like my wants and needs should take precedent.

Most of my time is spent milling around inside a bike shop in Falls Church fixing bikes (ding! ding!) and my commute is less than three miles, so I’ll apologize in advance if my mileage isn’t skyrocketing right off the bat. I will make an effort to squeeze in as many rides as possible (in addition to commuting) and when I do, try to make them count. If a brewery or amazing eatery were to be part of a ride, I’d likely not resist.

I also have the power to manipulate the service queue at the shop, so if you’re ever in desperate need of repair to keep the pedals moving please let me know and I’ll be sure to get you fixed up lickity split! The other teams can wait…

Here I am again!

First off, thanks to everyone who made it out for the Grand Opening – what a great turnout! That was a lot of fun and it was so nice to meet so many people happy to see that I was here…just great!

So, the Tuesday Night Ride: I’ve been leading this ride for years out of the Audrey Moore Rec Center parking lot. We meet by the recycling bin area at 6:30pm and head out for the ride at 6:45pm.

This ride is co-sponsored through MORE and has traditionally been a very “casual” ride (frequent stops, slower speeds and shorter distances 6-10 miles). In an attempt to challenge some of the regulars of this ride (and myself), I am upping the ride I lead to a “moderate” one (less stopping, brisker pace, longer rides 10-14 miles). Often however, there are other ride leaders who will step up and lead a “casual” ride and/or a “fast” ride.

These days the ride requires high-powered lights and is limited only to Wakefield park. Lights are not allowed on the Cross-County-Trail or on the Singletrack Trails in Accotink Park. During the summer, we will ride from Wakefield to Accotink back to Wakefield via the CCT.

If anyone has any other specific questions, please post here or for a more immediate response, email jan at bikenetic dot com.

Thanks again all, for the support!

Hey everyone! My ears were burning

First time here on Bike Arlington actually. I’ve been active on several of the other forums, but eventually lost the time to stay current. In any case, I came across this thread on the web and many customers have referenced it while making a visit to the new shop!

Thanks so much for the original post and especially for the kind words from those of you who know me from some of the other shops I’ve run in the past. I look forward to exceeding (well, meeting) expectations in my new location

We’ll be having an official Grand Opening this Saturday, December 3rd, starting at 10am for those of you who can show your support and come by for yet another special occasion. Hope to see the “regulars” and some new faces, if possible!

Thanks again,

Jan Feuchtner
