What a fantastic ride and amazing turnout in challenging weather! Thanks to everyone who visited Maryland Meadworks today, as well as supporting so many other small businesses in Hyattsville including our friends at Sangfroid Distillery, Streetcar 82 and Pizzeria Paradiso. It’s our dream to be a bike-worthy destination, so please spread the word and bring your biking friends back with you to H’ville!

For folks interested in ordering Maryland Meadworks Cycling Kits, the online portal closes March 10: http://www.tinyurl.com/meadworks for shipment this Spring. Wearing our gear to our tasting room gets you a $1 discount on all mead, and jealous glances because it looks pretty cool, eh?

The forecast for tomorrow looks pretty dreadful, but yes, I’m still crazy enough to ride. Bring your rain gear and whatever extra clothes, socks, or gloves you need to be comfortable at the stops. This is a no-hypothermia-allowed event.

And suddenly today I (Ken L) have only ridden one day in Freezing Saddles for a puny 11 points. No wonder Team 11 dropped to 16th.

Our long national nightmare is over. Order appears to have been restored in the universe!

[rumipumi]

A bunch of teams appear to have lost one of their team members – – I found seven teams that suddenly only have nine members including our own team nine license to chill which suddenly dropped into seventh Place after being in third place yesterday. Our team member Adriana Has no idea why she was dropped from our team.

In conjunction with rumipumi (aka Mrs. Maryland Meadworks), I’m organizing a bakeries, brews, and booze ride on Saturday, February 23. All are welcome to join.

The plan:
— Meet at 10:00 a.m. at Velo Cafe in DC, purveyor of local coffee, Acme Pie, and other excellent baked goods.
— Roll out at 10:30 a.m. and take the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail to Shortcake Bakery and Maryland Meadworks.
— Do a loop up through U.Md., along Lake Artemesia, and back down to Hyattsville.
— Visit Sangfroid Distillery (just opened December 2018; $10/person for tour and tasting) and Streetcar 82 Brewery (first deaf-owned brewery on the east coast). Neither place serves food, but Vigilante Coffee and Franklin’s are nearby if people need nibbles.
— Since there’s nothing like pie to soak up that alcohol, roll back along the ART to Dangerously Delicious Pies on H Street.
— Return to Velo Cafe.

The route is about 37 miles, mostly trails but also some roads, at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29290890. Social pace (12-15 mph), no drop. Nondrinkers are welcome too.

Directions to the start: the Velo Cafe at District Hardware is located at 730b Maine Ave SW, in the Wharf. The nearest metro is Waterfront. If you can’t find street parking near the Wharf, it’s pretty easy to park at Hains Point and bike over.

If you’d like to join us along the way, let me know and I’ll see if I can get my Garmin LiveTrack working.

Depending on your stomach/liver capacity, you might be able to score points for four separate pointless prizes: coffee, pastries, beerneuring, and spiriteuring.

If you think you’d like to imbibe, please PM me or respond on this thread so that I can let the good people at Maryland Meadworks, Streetcar 82, and Sangfroid know how many people to expect.

Bring money and a lock. And a metro card if there’s a chance you might want to metro home.

The rain date is the following Saturday, March 2.
