We’re still working through some glitches. Seems that some posts to a thread lock it up and remove it from view. I can quickly approve it and the thread will reappear. Not sure why this is happening. For now, just msg me if something goes missing, and I’ll approve it asap. Thanks for your patience.

Cool bike shop in Steamboat Springs!

I am all for simplicity. Since we’re still in the first week, I think we can just make it a single metric of Total Food Rescues, and then just mark them with the #foodrescue hashbrown. One rescue ride = one point.

Does anyone strongly object to this change?

Sounds like a great route to rack up miles for Freezing Saddles!

Henry and I discussed this and decided that yes, doing two runs is allowed, when needed, but should be a last resort. We don’t want to encourage people to make two trips just for the sake of maximizing miles, when it could be an inconvenience to the staff who have to be present to receive food twice. But of course, if you could only manage it in two trips, then that’d be better than sending a car to pick up the rest!

Agreed, for the sake of the pointless prize, we’ll allow multiple runs of the same delivery, but only the parts when carrying food.

Henry this is a great idea. I will be checking out the site…but do you mean that there is a specific route that you have to take from A to B vs doing your own? Is that for FS or for the Food Rescue DC?

Either way I like this

There is no specific route, take the route that works best for you. But you just count the miles from the pickup to the dropoff, not the mile getting there nor the miles getting back home (or to you next delivery?!?). I suppose you could pad the trip, but why?

Your first post is moderated and needed to be approved. You should be good to go now.

Do you know if Arlington uses them on concrete sidewalks. There has been a lot of work in Dominion Hills and Westover to remove unevenness.

I did a WalkArlington blog post about this a few years ago. Assume the contractor uses the same equipment now, but but certain.

Deleted it and banned the poster. Thanks

Feel free to drop any comments about BTWD here, including the single plastic wraps on the shirts. Last year’s cluster (shorting the entire order) was replaced with a new cluster (small sizing, shrinking shirts, wasteful plastic) and we will share with the overlords at MWCOG.

And the 2014 Boat to Work was indeed fun times, when I found myself in thigh-deep water under the West Glebe Bridge on FMR Trail. Was in the pre-dawn darkness with fogged-up glasses and couldn’t make out that the smooth gray surface in front of me was not concrete but dirty water being held back by the retaining wall.

It was our pleasure. We’ve been doing it since 2018 and wish the rest of the region would get on board. Had 200 ppl at our two stops today. Thanks to everyone who cam out.

Here’s a shot of the Gravelly Point stop.
