    Forgive me Tim for I have sinned. I have neglected to hide the Calvinball for many days, but now the deed is done. How shall a simple pilgrim be forgiven?

    There’s a consumable so consider consuming on premises. Also, the ball has moved from Virginia to Maryland (albeit very close to DC). As the beginning of my penance, I will not include a proposed ordinance, for I am not worthy.

    Got it. More later.3b2fe1915de1669872cf4aed4159a017.jpgf5b62d6e477e2a81749d495973fec68c.jpg

    An “orbit of the sun”? Is this a very long game, or did the rule maker mean a rotation of the Earth?

    I may or may not have a Calvin ball and now I’m having to read this whole thread to edumicate myself on these rules. Love these comments

    What WHAT??? You make a Jonathan Edwards reference and you are NOT going to come up with more dogma??? COME ON! You cant get away with that. As Luther said, “If you are going to sin, sin boldly.” You have released the beast – – – so let’s hear your best fire and brimstone!!

    I had to look up Jonathan Edwards (theologian I presume ). Wikipedia says he said :

    “The way to Heaven is ascending; we must be content to travel uphill, though it be hard and tiresome, and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh.”

    Does that mean he would have offered the climbing pointless prize if he were alive today??

    You can’t do an actual manual entry. But you can create a GPX file (either by downloading an existing ride and editing it, or by using something like Run With GPS), then upload it.

    I created a route (on laptop on strava). Then added a Strava entry on my phone by clicking on Manual Activity and then add route .
    Zat ok?

    Hello Forum. Help me understand – I just rode several miles and came home. Mid ride strava was working. Now the ride is gone. Can I create a route , and then enter that as my ride for FS credit? So many rules to read and my searching the forum isn’t working out. Thanks

    Well. There’s my ride on Strava.

    Weird.

    Still whats the answer – is adding a ride via adding a route and doing manual entry ok for FS?

    First, I’m pretty sure you cant “enter” your mileage. We outlawed manual mileage entries last year (because of all the imaginary miles)

    Second, it doesnt matter to the GPS which direction you rode around the square.

    Who remembers 13th and 14th street and the seediness…

    The Silver Slipper used to be at 815 13th Street. Which would have been where the alley is.

    From the article:
    “My wife is not so crazy about the place,” he said. “I guess she’s been in here only twice since we’ve been open. But I’ve met many fine and talented people down here.

    From me – we only heard about it growing up ( in nearby Md). A threat if you didn’t do well in school (made by teachers or rude students ) was “well you can always go work on 14th st.”

    That’s not a real bike. Real bikes have horizontal top tubes.

    …Around that time period, Mills was having an affair with Foxe, a local stripper. On October 7, 1974, the two of them had been drinking and were driving near the waterfront in Washington, D.C. at around 2:00 a.m. The park police pulled the vehicle over, and Foxe attempted to flee the scene by jumping into the Tidal Basin.[5] The incident attracted much publicity, and eventually led to Mills’ resignation two months later as Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. He was re-elected to his congressional seat in 1974, but he did not run for re-election in 1976.[6][7]
