    Your summary of my prize is correct. Longer codenames than “s” are preferred just to prevent overlap.

    Yeah, he just told me this AM. I am shocked! He must have misread that as a daily-mileage minimum.

    Bring me a 6 pack of good beer and I’ll consider hacking the back end to exempt you from the mileage cap.

    It pulls over until the owner reads aloud EVERY SINGLE POST about it on this forum.

    Check your tires, because they have a tendency to flat on the coldest day possible.

    Parking garages are by far not the worst place to change a flat on a crummy day. I realize this isn’t always an option, but it’s a corollary of the “know your bailout route” rules. Keep a list of places you can get warm, change a flat, get out of an ice storm, etc.

    And I’ll sponsor something for the participants who drag their kids around with them (either literally, in the case of #kidical, or figuratively). It’ll be something along the lines of what’s described in last year’s thread here, probably, barring any tweaks to not step on Jon’s toes with his Pointless Kid prize.

    I have no toes for you to step on, it’s too cold outside and they fell off.

    B. Purpose is to shoot for even teams.

    This wasn’t a Bike Arlington decision – don’t kill the messenger. This was a decision based on the fact that we haven’t had competitive teams in years. One team has run away with it early ever since like year 2. And I would love to boot people who don’t keep up a decent weekly average, but that idea has never gained any real traction.

    As a volunteer-run game, the people who consistently volunteer for the hard jobs get to make the rules. If the cap sucks this year, we can change it next year.

    I think Gmail marked your email as spam for my wife, so that may be a contributing factor. Also I’ve found that people don’t follow directions very well.

    As one of “those” people, do dogs count? Commuting with dog in backpack, recreational mountain biking with dog running (asking for a friend for trails that don’t allow off-leash dogs).

    If your dog is riding his or her own bike, yes, it counts
