Calvinball (one of em):

On Custis com-ing from DC

Near Lincoln’s a tree with a vee

Look behind said bare trunk
Green bot-tle filled with junk

That’s the calvinball, which seeketh thee

While Boomer may be enjoying his Mardi Gras coffee rides in the warmth of Rio, today’s Fastnacht ride was to Mainz and it’s Fastnachtmesse and we started at -1°C. The third common term for carnival in German, Fastnacht, refers to the Swabian Alemannic carnival, which is found in Baden Württemberg, Franconia (northern Bavaria), Hesse, and much of Switzerland. Although this word looks like it comes from the German for the “eve of Lent,” in fact it is based on the Old German word fasen (“to be foolish, silly, wild”). Thus the word, sometimes spelled Fasnacht (without the t) actually means something like “night of being wild and foolish.” it was pretty quiet when we stopped for lunch with coffee at the Werner’s Backstube and we weren’t sticking around for the Parade of convertibles since we wanted to be back in Frankfurt before sunset.

Because of your other post about Fastnacht I read up on it. Looks like fun!

Important Stuff
* Everyone is to bring Tim the Enchanter cookies

How doth one bring Tim the Enchanter cookies??
Does Tim attend the HH on the 15th? Komorebi’s ride on the 17th, or Judd’s President’s day ride?

Put me down for one. Found the only patch of black ice on my commute. Scratched up my wedding ring, which cut my hand, and felt a couple ribs pop uncomfortably. The bike is fine though, other than a couple scratches on the shifter and pedal.

Bummer. Hope you heal up quick

Walked on water to save the NivlacBall from drowning…where steveO left it…

I hid the ball within 24 hours…(ok barely)

I consumed the swag on the spot…see chocolate coma below

My dog picture

Went from Fairfax to Arlington…but thru DC!

Defiantly cool swag!

One hamster wheel

I had cookies for you but your flyby past me at Columbia Pike on WOD was lightning speed today!

My Ordinance: if you do hamster laps with panniers and a commuter bike…while getting funny looks from speedy Lycra racers you should get triple points!

Bring the whole family! This ride will mostly likely have zero swear words.

Unless busses behave badly!

I was hoping for a way that a non-technical participant could do it – it would be nice to have a thread to point people to when they email to say their phone died mid-ride or their Garmin bonked or whatever.

Yes. I’m non technical in this regard.
