    I don’t know what BikeDC is, but I think I’m in!

    14th St southbound bike lane was snowed/iced over from at (at least) Columbia Heights to Rhode Island Ave.

    15th St cycle track was mostly clear but rather icy, and impassable for the block in front of Veterans Affairs (just before reaching WH). I followed the lead of another cyclist and just took the travel lane throughout.

    In better news, the PA Ave cycle track was almost completely clear yesterday evening.

    I’m not a regular at the coffee clubs but could be convinced to huff it out to Hump Day CC in Alexandria or even pancake Mondays in Vienna from time-to-time. Fridays @ Swings can work on the very early end (unfortunately I have teaching obligations at 8am on Fridays). Best way to get me out would be a pastry, dumpling, or beer ride.

    I am in Foggy Bottom most days but — full disclosure — am not actually the secretary of state.

    Just before Christmas. Not sure the exact date. I think the recaptcha was defective somehow because I would hit submit, then get the recaptcha challenge, then it would spin forever. I never got a link in e-mail at all.

    Please submit a registration, hope for the best, and ride everyday in the meantime! BAFS is too fun to let a technical glitch stand in the way

    I think the mile-cap rule is a modest nod toward a long debate about how much team scores should benefit from having a few high-mileage riders. There’s no right or wrong answer here, and given the diverse (and it seems sometimes unhinged) psychologies that people bring to the competition, no scoring system will satisfy every need. It will be interesting to hear from teams and in particular members who are consistently below the cap about whether it motivated them to ride more, organize more team events, and so on.

    It’s a worthwhile experiment. Kudos to this year’s active volunteers for making the change.

    My greener side is still interested in helping rebalance, to make CaBi a more appealing alternative to autos. But that desire is outweighed by my growing animosity towards CaBi.

    If an issue so trivial is causing animosity toward CaBi, yes, please take a break.

    Edit: I don’t, though, see how switching to https would have any affect on the spam.

    It wouldn’t, but this thread seems to have the attention of folks who administer the board so I thought to mention it.

    Is this the thread in which we might respectfully request the forum move to https? The Let’s Encrypt project makes it very easy.
