Maybe she wasn't totally MIA when she set up the club, but she is, in fact, totally MIA now. Hopefully everything's good with her, but she's left us in a bad spot with respect to competitiveness and...
That's definitely the issue.
Shout out to the commenter who complained about cyclists riding into moving traffic without looking. I always ride into moving traffic without looking, what an astute observation.
Rolling on to the WOD this morning from Roosevelt Street I saw numerous medical personnel and vehicles at the curve that heads up to Brandymore Castle. I dismounted and walked past a pretty bad...
Hey Ashby we have one random dude in our strava group that needs to be booted but otherwise I think everyone is in! And it looks like we are top 10 as of now.
Look for annoying inspirational...
Most important: Team 20 is probably the best team in the history of Freezing Saddles. We will probably win, so I have taken the liberty of ordering commemorative championship jorts and tank tops.

Hey so if you want to cut off the Holly Leaf tightness, you can actually just cut through the spring hill rec center parking lot between Spring Hill Rd and Lewinsville.
Say you are going to...
The new points system feels like it was designed by committee.
In response to people who might complain about team points being tied solely to days ridden, I would say this - the hardest part of winter riding is almost always getting out the door. And I feel...
She talked about it on Strava a little but the main issue was that, unbeknownst to me at least, Swinks Mill is closed between Old Dominion and Georgetown Pike.
Lewinsville Road is fine - there is a climb with almost no shoulder up from the beltway, but there is a generous paved path that runs to your left along that section that you can hop on. The right...
This is genius so genius I forgot I suggested it.
Raise the cap to 150, randomize teams, 10 riders per team, drop the lowest mileage rider for each team when calculating team points, otherwise keep the current points system, reject any and all of...
You bomb down Arlington Ridge so fast that you aren't in traffic, you ARE traffic.
Best way around this heading west from DC is go through the Crystal City Connector and ride up 20th Street to Arlington Ridge Road and then absolutely bomb down to behind the Giant and then pick up...
If you're on Facebook there is a group of about 5,000 folks that have really good updates about the GAP/C&O.

Went by there this morning, they have blocked it off with crime scene tape. I guess you could still worm your way through there, but it's pretty obvious now.
Wilson crossing is a disaster waiting...
Oh my god the comments are so great, I wish they had tears that I could lick for sustenance.
I read his wife's post on Strava yesterday afternoon. I am still struggling with it. I feel so awful for his wife and teenage son. Nothing but good memories of the time I was able to spend with him.
Any word on when the construction will be done on the EAST side of Lynn Street in that intersection (across the street from Gateway Park)? Those jersey barriers make it tough for folks turning left...
Arlington Co. has created a situation where it is way safer to just roll through the tunnel.
Oh man thanks for the reminder wish I had seen this before my commute!
I did the grande loco and the epic and my main recommendation would be to not do that? Or do it but don't be fugging dumbass and use road pedals. And if you use road pedals, don't have them ratcheted...
I'm guessing less than a year in jail for the driver and they'll be back behind the wheel within 24 months.
