I’ve really loved how folks have kept their tags from last year on their gear year-round. I was a HP once and lapped by a bunch of roadies (as usual), but had to smile when I noticed one had the green tag!
Besides, they make great conversation pieces as I’ve been stopped by fellow commuters who asked where I got ’em.

*Kitty, having managed to survive the Oct-December treadmill of holiday and professional obligations through triage and caffeine, now turns her attention to the next thing: BAFS. Over coffee she reviews the sticky and notices a rules change from past years. Sealing herself, she ventures into the thread she swore never to enter, the dreaded “Rules and scoring thread.” Patiently, with an eye on the clock since she needs to gear up to ride to church, she goes through 11 pages of temporally crystallized early-December to come to this spot…
She grimaces and takes a sip of her coffee before holding up a finger that seems to speak for her ‘Now hold on just a minute…'”**
Eleven pages. Eleven pages of bickering, and I didn’t see a single thing about not accepting manual entries this year. Did I miss that somewhere in the applied calculus theory-crafting of pages 2-5?
Can I get a referee to explain this to me? I get trying to avoid cheating, but my phone (aka my “Magic Strava Machine”) is reaching the end of its life and prone to dying in cold weather. (Say nothing of the times when Strava fails on a whim) This causes me to have to do a follow-up Strava post to log the missing miles. I wish I could just rely on an error-free upload but that’s not the case.

These almost never happen any more even with substantial snowfall since the vast majority of federal workers can telework. You should consider changing the rule to “days designated for unscheduled leave or unscheduled telework”. This is how most “Snow Days” go down now.
Unless, of course, you just want a very high probability of recognizing Michigan Day.:rolleyes:
Our office uses OPM as the source for whether we close for snow (we’re not Feds) so it represents a fair yardstick. Besides, it is precisely because of the severity of the event that results in the full closure that makes this a challenge. Open but telework days are pretty lame as far as weather events go. :p
All that said, I appreciate the insight. If we go a second year in a row with no snow-days, I’ll reconsider.
