changed up the name a bit to put the FS2016 at the end. Does not look like there is a way to add admin to an existing velo club. Still missing two team members I think

If you are an admin you can add other admins by going to the Member’s list in the group and hovering over the member you want to make an admin with your cursor. A ‘make admin’ option will then appear that you can click on like so:

If you PM Carol she should be able to provide contact info for Etielens

I’m currently in a depressing situation with sore knees and awkward bike fit, so I’m afraid I won’t be putting in as many miles as I did last year.

You name your team after one of The Rules and then complain about sore knees? As a member of last year’s Rule 9 Velo team all I can say is Rule 5 buddy, Rule 5.

I’ve been looking at the street view for a couple of minutes, and I do not see any signals for the car traffic. I see the beg buttons, but what do they activate?

I think the street view image is from just before they actually hung the signals but they are indeed there (or were the last time I used that crossing.)

[glennpstevens]

I’m in!

[glennpstevens]

In keeping with a long standing tradition of two years, Rule 9 Velo will be passing on possession of the Billy Goat Trophy to the team with the most climbing per mile (Elevation Gain (feet) / Distance traveled (miles))

[glennpstevens]

I’m in. Assuming I can figure out where the heck Shirlington is.

Moster Cross 2015 update: Monster Cross moving to March 8th
It is with great turmoil, consideration and consultation that we have made this decision.

Hopefully they’ll keep registration open for the next couple of weeks so we can continue to work on talking our BAFS2015 team mates into doing the race.

The older one is obviously not wrong…

First (5) people to 100,000′ elevation get a beer on me at happy hour! If those (5) people get 200,000′ by the end, i’ll make it 2 beers each. That will be the most work anyone has ever done for two free beers, making them taste that “MORE BETTER”!

BTW, when is the final happy hour?

Time to hit Coxey Brown Road once or twice or 49.45 times.

Furthermore, we don’t think about drinking when it’s cold.

I’ve setup a time based alert on my Garmin that goes off every 15 minutes to remind me to drink. That, and using insulated bottles like you suggest, has worked out pretty well for me.
