Met up with some people at Caboose last night. Had the Ghost Pepper Ale (along with a few others). Solid ale with a definite capsaicin bite to it.

I also forgot to introduce myself. Whoops.

Hi, my name is Casey and I ride bikes. I live in the Fairlington area of Alexandria (less than a mile from Mile 0 of the W&OD) and work in Clarendon. I am also on a “ride every day” streak, since December 30, 2015 (so however many days that is). I have to be at work too early for most coffee clubs, so I am really jealous of all you folks that get to hang out and talk bikes in the mornings. I enjoy gravel and mountain biking, so we should definitely do some team gravel grinds. I also really enjoy beer, so we should ride for beer, too! I am training for the DK200, which is in June, so my weekend mileage will start to ramp up in the next few weeks (woohoo, extra points!).

Velo Viewer is a cool site if you really like to delve into the data of your rides. It also can handily tell you how many days your streak is at (404 for me!). I pay the annual fee, its like $15ish depending on exchange rates (website is run by a British guy).

I also like beer and gravel. Super jealous of all these coffee club meetups! My reverse commute is just too out of the way for me to ever make it to any of those. I do occasionally make it to Pete’s Tuesday Hills because like everyone in this competition I apparently hate my legs (and always end up late to work).

When I am not working I like to get out and ride during the week with the Arlington Babes and the Burke Babes (Babes on Bikes). If any of you ladies are interested (sorry guys) I can help you hook up with the group.

Might have to take you up on this for my GF, especially if they have beginner friendly rides.

I like I like TENacious Decimators….. This is not the greatest team in the world, this is just a tribute?

Decimation was originally the ultimate punishment for a Roman Legion that had done something terrible like mutiny. The offending unit would be broken down into groups of 10 and they would draw lots. Whomever lost was either stoned or beaten to death by his 9 comrades. All in all, pretty freaking awful!

I just bought a gravel bike a few months ago — from FIX_BKS and the good folks at Bikenetic, of course! — and would love to hear about your favorite gravel routes.

My work schedule means that I’ll be exceedingly late to any weekday team HHs, but I’m happy to do weekend beerneuring or doughneuring rides any time.

What kind of bike did ya get?

I probably can’t make it to any HH before 6:30 just cause Clifton is pretty out of the way from most gathering spots (unless anyone wants to stretch their legs on Clifton’s thin, windy, hilly roads and meet me at the Main Street Pub).

I’m Matt, stoked to be on this awesome team!

I live in Franconia/Kingstowne area of Alexandria and commute to Clifton, VA daily. Love riding bikes of every kind and discipline but especially love gravel. I’m always down for team rides and Happy Hours.

Biking in rush hour in the dark and rain is not the best way to make it to the next BAFS social event.

I thought that was the most BAFS way to get there!

Bag of Zip-Ties makes turning even worse, not a good idea.

Thanks, I felt bad griping about Major Tom but that is a real fun chart. Glad to see I am not alone in the chart and watching the billy goats.

Don’t feel bad. Having a huge outlier like that makes the entire chart pretty much unreadable.

Strava has been running incredibly odd the last few days.

[QuikAF77]

The distance, elevation, speed chart is cool. Only problem is Erik B and his “700,000 ft” of climbing in December so far skewing the chart badly

[QuikAF77]

I liked the Freeze Points last year. The more charts in general, the happier I am. More stuff to waste time at work obsessing over!
