ParticipantI’ll be there with a Calvinball in tow. If you’re a Calvinball newbie, please find it.
josh
ParticipantA mobile Calvinball is now in play
I do hope that it is found today
Fireball in my cage
Many points from Tim the Mage
See you all tonight at Velo Cafe[ATTACH=CONFIG]16917[/ATTACH]

ParticipantCalvinball was too conveniently located to pass up.

Arlington county has several great community centers equipped with stationary bikes and other exercise machines, available to Arl residents at a very affordable rate. Check out the TJ Community Center, which is the best Arlington community center.
Very affordable + international airfare = not-so-affordable

ParticipantWhichever ball I had is now out there:
There once was a boy who upon a ball lucked
And left it by a bridge Aqueduct
Someone find it fast
I don’t think it will last
If not our game is most certainly …The ball itself:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]16857[/ATTACH]The view in the opposite direction:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]16858[/ATTACH]My delusion of points earned and lost:
10 (new base for find)
+7 (a bawdy limerick)
+10 (across state lines, from VA to elsewhere)
+ 5 (new consumable swag)
-0 (Tarantallegra Spell was not yet in effect when I obtained the ball)
-10 (5*-2 for delay of game, assuming ball is found before ~10pm tomorrow, could potentially increase depending on when the ball is found)
= 22 pointsMiscellaneous notes: I have consumed the found swag, but it was not on premise. Also, I’m casting the spell of the Warlock Judd on CBGanimal, which I’ve charged over the course of 5 laps (see Strava activity #1395493718), but without panniers, so only -15 points to her.
New ordinance: This is a new spell, Wingardium Leviosa. The way it works is that each time you’re hit with the curse of Judd, you can invoke it on one ride (to be started and finished within two days of the cursing), and every 200 feet one climbs gains one bonus point, and this is capped at 2 times the damage you’re hit with. E.g., CBGanimal will be taking a 15 point hit from my curse, and if she casts Wingardium Leviosa and does a ride with 1183 feet of elevation gain in the next two days, she will receive 5 points. The bonus would max out if she climbed 6000 feet in one ride (15 * 2 * 200), and would result in the damage being nullified (plus a bonus equal to the original damage).

I got to Java Shack at 8:00 this morning and there was literally one customer there, and he had not arrived on a bicycle. Where was everyone? I still need my pie!
Most of the regular attendees (FFG, CBGanimal, and myself, at least over the past couple months) were down in Rosslyn for the winter bike to work day.

Participant+1 for me, too many entries here for my taste. Don’t think I’ve been keeping my chain tight enough, and endoed on Wilson as a result when it jumped off and locked up my rear wheel. RIP (literally) my pants and gloves.
josh
ParticipantNarrowly won out finding the Calvinball, and I am pretty close to Hains Point…

I was not including outdoor coffee for this pointless prize. As far as leaving the tag in your ride … if you’re not a contender, it’s probably a no harm, no foul situation. Just don’t let it happen again!
Decided I still have dreams of climbing to the top, which might unfortunately involve a caffeine overdose to get there, so the tag’s gone.
josh
ParticipantDoes outdoor coffee made by someone else count? Perhaps they should count as a chain, so you can only do it once. In either case, I tagged a ride this morning like this, but I can remove the tag if need be (although I’m not a contender).
josh
ParticipantMade it up 41st St this morning, but a big sheet of ice on the W&OD by Virginia Lane took me out. Definitely taking the road on the way back.

ParticipantI caught all three Frozemon in Georgetown this morning. Ended up traversing the exorcist steps three times in pursuit of the beasts.
josh
ParticipantDidn’t see it forbidden in the rules, but I don’t think the leaderboard supports it — can we hit multiple coffee places during the same ride and have them both count, subject to the normal restrictions? I’m planning out a long ride and trying to maximize my #FS2018coffeeride potential (only planning on going to two or three places, nothing obscene).
josh
ParticipantDoing this one in real-time, sitting at the bar. Got a flight with the Kellerbier Kölsch, Mason’s Dark Mild, Barrel Aged Crazy Ivan, and the Orange Whip IPA.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]16628[/ATTACH]
All pretty solid, but definitely glad to encounter a Crazy Ivan that’s not a reckless jogger. I also enjoyed the Orange Whip more than most IPAs, less hoppy I suppose. -
