We’ll see. Not sure I want to go that far in death weather.

Update: Getting ready to attempt. Please bury SiberHobbes with me if I fail.

Hey, I’ve got a bright idea! Pick up Hobbes and then bring him along to Team 10 Snow Patrol’s beer drinking extravaganza at New District Brewery!!! We’ll be there by 8 or come by Conte’s Old Town at 7:15 and ride over.

I was really hoping something on here would give me a purpose to go out. The news people keep telling me I’ll die instantly if I try! But there doesn’t seem to be any hidden Calvin Balls. Am I wrong?

See post #172.

It’s a pretty creepy tunnel which is usually full of nasty water and debris after a rain.

And it was closed for quite a while a few years ago. Not sure if VDOT was doing maintenance or if it was a safety issue or what, but then it mysteriously reopened.

If possible, I’d like to know more about where this one was. I’ve been trying to figure it out for the last half hour or more before heading out (thanks for posting!). If I was looking at the right Josh, he might have hidden that ride. I assume it’s near Telegraph Road? I know of one weird underpass near the Golf course, but I don’t remember steps.

Tunnel next to Telegraph Rd between Mill Rd and Duke St under RR tracks.

Hobbes has been frolicking around the alleys of Old Town, found some left-over Heineken and is now sleeping off the buzz in a miniature Siberian forest, but don’t make him sleep there all night!!!

Bayou Bakery – Beignet – hot and puffy

Duck Donuts – Maple Bacon Salted Caramel Glaze – excellent, best donut of the day!

Beard Papa’s – Chocolate Banana Cream Puff – delicious, best cream puff ever!

Right Proper Brewery – Cinnamon Apple, a taste thanks Kate – crunchy and delicious

I’m in! I’d be up for a little bit later start, or catch you mid-ride.

Sadly, District Donuts on 8th St SE ran out of donuts by the time we arrived yesterday afternoon, so we had to settle for Dunkin’ Donuts down the street. The heart donut with chocolate icing and filling was acceptable but nothing special.

Hi Team 13!

Sorry for only now logging into the forum… I’ve been out of town for several days.

This is my first BAFS, I’m Scott on Strava. I normally cycle through the winter when not out of town in search of snow for x-country skiing, reside in Old Town and commute ~15miles/day x 2or3 days/wk plus some longer rides.

Now that I’m back in town I’ll try to start logging a few more miles for the team.

[Thor]

I plan to be there!
