Hey Team. Team 12 is holding a happy hour for All Teams this Friday evening 5 February 2016 starting at 6pm at Capitol City Brewing Company in Shirlington. Please let W&W know on their thread if you’re coming: http://bikearlingtonforum.com/showthread.php?9760-Team-12/. Tim (Team 12) and I will be there and Judd said he’s coming too. Hope you can make it and that you arrive by bike!

Dear Team 13,
It is wet and salty and sandy and generally yucky out there, and no where near the 60F the weatherman promised. I think you would all be happier and more comfortable staying indoors today. You wouldn’t want to catch the sniffles or anything. Just looking out for your well-being. We’re concerned about you.
Love,
Team 11, “The Sun Never Sweats”Your concern is really sweet. I really enjoyed my wet, dirty, salty ride in this morning. It turns out the Bikenetic Buff is not just good for cold weather, but to keep dirt flying off your front wheel from getting in your mouth! It’s so lovely outside in fact that I might take few loops around HP tonight before heading the long way home.
Guys and Gal – Let’s reward Team 11’s deep and genuine concern with some miles to take ’em down a notch.
Put me down for one. It was Blizzard Friday and the snow was covering the edge of the trail, which my bike tires followed and causing me to fall and hit my head (while still clipped in). Unfortunately, the snow wasn’t really deep enough to cushion the impact but it was a low speed crash.
Hey Team – I don’t know what’s happening today and I haven’t yet found a way off this couch, but tomorrow there is a 14-16mph road ride out of Bikenetic. 8am, you should come (and let me know if you need the FB invitation).
As for today, eventually I’ll find myself outside. I’m disappointed at the WOD so I’m kind of at a loss as to what to do. Maybe Custis into DC and then ride the modified HP loop (or on the loop if they’ve managed to open it up).
What are your weekend plans?
Btw, the team in 9th place has a rider who had not, until today, logged his trainer rides as such. He updated the ride titles today, but it’s still showing the miles in his total. Does anyone know if it will retroactively correct because it’s constantly pulling all data or does it work by the system collecting them once and then storing locally on the freezingsaddles website? I wouldn’t care except that in fairness, we shouldn’t be placed behind a team with members riding in the comfort of their garage. And for that matter, I would like to propose a new rule: BAFS rides in FLORIDA and other warm climates should only count as 11 points (as a sleaze ride) to acknowledge the effort needed to ride whilst on vacation or work trips, but not to equate enjoyable warm rides with the rest of us suffering in the winter weather. Yes, I’m competitive!
