Hello hello and welcome to Team 19! This is your Captain speaking, Kitty (or Grace as it shows on Strava.)
It was wonderful to meet as many of you as I did at the kick-off happy hour. For those of you who I didn’t meet directly, I was the one dressed as a penguin. For that reason I have “Ride of the Penguins” as a place-holder team name.
To that end, one of our first orders of business is to decide what we want for a team name (or if we just want to go with that).
The second is to get to know each other! Please post to this thread with a brief introduction: tell us a bit about yourself, where you live (or ride), how many year’s you’ve done Freezing Saddles, your goals for the year/winter, your favorite type of ride etc.
To get things going I’ll go first:
As noted above, I’m Grace but I go by Kitty (seriously, they are used interchangeability, will answer to either.) I’m a Michigan native, but have lived in Arlington for the past 8 winters. I miss the snow of the North, but love being able to ride more months of the year. This will be my 2nd Freezing Saddles, and my 1st as a Captain. I have a somewhat short commute, but will try to make it up by riding everyday and taking advantage of/making opportunities to ride this winter. My goal is to ride with each of you at least once over the course of the competition. My favorite rides are at least 25 miles and end with a beer or baked goods.
Finally, I have created the necessary Strava group for our team, which can be found here: https://www.strava.com/clubs/BAFS2017-Team19
I tried to invite who I could, but the system would only let me direct-invite those who were on my “Follow” list. Please join up so the Freezing Saddles system can track your miles for our team.With that, LET’S RIDE!
Kitty, don’t you know penguins don’t ride bikes?

Hey team, I logged into the leaderboard & strava and I got a message saying I’m not authenticated to join a team. Sorry

According to the PM:
Closure has been rescheduled because of more coordination required with WMATA & DDOT. Closure will be just between N St NE & M St. NE. They are reviewing the needs for alternate paths and detour signs with WMATA & DDOT. M St. NE will continue to have construction traffic into 2018.Hope this helps!
