@steveszibler – you can have wandrer reprocess rides if, for some reason, they are incorrect or are not showing up.

Quite an excellent turnout for the FSLNHPP – especially given it was on a school night. Evidently 5 members of my team (Bollard Busters – Back off, You Impostors) were there, but I just saw three others.

Thanks to drevil and Jo M for bringing some yummy snacks and their usual joyful nature. Actually, everyone was in a great mood, despite the wind (it was slog on the backside!).

See you next year!!

(Well, hopefully I’ll also see you at the happy hour.

And at Coffee Club and on Midnight Saddles rides and Fan Club rides or the 50 States Ride or the Great Pumpkin Ride. Or at Vigilante or Cafe Amouri or Caboose or out on the trail.)

Join us for a special Cherry Blossom Edition of Hump Day Coffee Club on Wednesday, March 20, 2024

Bring your own coffee and snacks.

Time: 7:15 gather, 7:30 wheels up

Place: Jefferson Memorial

We’ll ride around Hains Point at a moderate pace in order to enjoy the blossoms in the morning light, before all the tourists flock in.

Hope to see you there!

Gotta like that the county’s all anxious to replace those signs announcing gold rather than taking care of installing all the signs that actually would help it legitimize its gold rating.

1/16 – toxin

Toxins in our food and environment are likely contributors to the increasing number of people who get colorectal cancer. These flags were placed on the mall to increase awareness

With just a few days to go in this year’s Freezing Saddles, one wonders, “I wonder who is leading for the Meh-Diocrity Pointless Prize?”

Well, your wondering is over. Here are the current leaders:

For the team prize, the two teams in the meh-dle are Team Shiba and Team 24-Dead Last.  Not dead last at all, I will point out: pretty much just meh

And leading the individual Meh standings, believe it or not, April DeRome is still there. She was there on the middle day of FS, and she still is, joined by another meh-diocre rider, Mitch Temoche. But there’s still plenty of time for others to slack a bit or step up their slightly-less-than-average effort and take the Meh-dal!

 

(I will point out, in all seriousness, these median riders have ridden almost 900 miles since January 1. That is, in fact, quite an accomplishment. Pretty much all FS participants are actually badasses, not meh-asses.)

Found this glove on the Dzhoy Memorial ride. Brought it home, washed it and am keeping an eye out for a compatible partner.

Evidently the jerseys and other gear have been showing up in mailboxes all over. Komorebi modeled this at last Friday’s coffee club

Found this glove on the Dzhoy ride. It’s a nice rightie glove, so I will keep an eye out for a lefty

We can reopen if there’s plenty of interest. I think we’ll need stronger commitment than hearsay. Those of you who can commit to a purchase, respond here with a rough dollar amount of what you’ll buy.

Is there any particular time this ride will begin? And an estimated end time?

 

(also, feel free to also post on the FS calendar)

Today is the halfway point of Freezing Saddles 2024, so it’s time to see who is in the middle: the meh-est, if you will

In the teams Meh-Diocrity standings, we have Team Shiba and the Vengeful Orcas occupying the middle places. With a bit of slacking Team 21 could undertake Shiba for  one of the meh-dle spots. or the Tenacious Ten-Speeds could dial it up to 11 for just a bit and overtake the Orcas. Oh! The excitement!!!

And in the individual rankings, we have this:

Beth D and April DeRome are exactly in the meh-dle on the middle day of Freezing Saddles – truly something to celebrate. By tonight, though, with a bit of slacking or a bit of effort, others are likely to have claimed their spots.

Halfway still to go, everyone!!!

Note the time change. We will gathe at 9:30 instead of 10.  See you there!
