BAFS 2016 Freezing Saddles Closing Happy Hour

[QuikAF77]

I’ll be there for the last hour or so. Georgetown is a bit of a hike from my work in Clifton.

Any caravans meeting up on the VA side?

Hey, just out of curiosity, since I wasn’t at opening happy hour, does “bike corral” mean I don’t need to bring a lock?

Bike corral means a big stack of bikes right outside the door with about a half dozen FSers drinking beer, BSing and watching the bikes, so yes.

Thanks! I will be glad not to lug the u-lock with the laptop, etc.

I’m planning to come too. I’m out of town, so will be coming from upstate NY. I’d love to get back to town in time to get home and come in by bike, but that’s unlikely given the 6 hr drive, my not being a morning person, traffic, and the fact that I already got a speeding ticket (my first) on the way here…

Soooo… I hope the nuclear event street closures in DC don’t mean less parking available on water Street, but I guess they might.

Looking forward to the gathering, though!

As said no lock needed but you might need a crowbar and a forklift to pry your bike from the middle of the herd.

Dear Daughter Michele and I are rolling in on the tandem.

Oops…I won’t be there. Calendar conflict. I owe Rod a prize for a sidebet he won. I will make arrangements with him to get him the prize at another time.

I RSVP’d on Strava but totally forgot to do it here too.

I will try to make it but unfortunately can’t confirm yet. If I do make it, I will present the N+1 prize, but it will probably be best if it’s towards the later end of the awards.

I will be there! But probably around 6ish or later. I’ll present the N+1 prize.

[cycloskier]

I’m looking forward to collecting my pointless prize!

[creadinger]

I will be there with my pointless prizes. Probably not til 6.

All — a last minute work conflict means that I will NOT be present for happy hour after all (despite my early planning and best efforts). this means that I will not be able to get my side bet/pointless prize treats to the respective winners. I’m not even in a position to disclose the identities of the winners because my lists are in one place and I am in another. I very much regret this turn of events.

All – know that while I can’t attend in person, I am with you in spirit.

However, since it’s 8am Friday here in Melbourne, I’m sitting on this awesome bike-themed stool in my pajamas

Drinking coffee from a similarly awesome bike-themed trivet.

Enjoy happy hour as I raise my coffee to the end of Freezing Saddles.

Ok, nevermind!! I’m not gonna make it. On my way I had a major failure of my derailleur and instead of taking forever to jimmy something or scooter it there I got picked up at gravelly point.

So anyway, I will announce my winners on the Prizes thread and post pictures and figure out how to get the awards to the winners. Sorry.
