Pointless Prize METRO PEAK PIONEER

[LeprosyStudyGroup]

SurlyTed and I would like to celebrate the recent news that DC Metro is now finally allowing bikes on trains during peak hours by sponsoring a new freezing saddles pointless prize competition.

This winter’s your chance to demonstrate that You are the KOM/QOM of METRO’S PEAK hours by going multi-modal and riding both your trusty rusty bikey and a smokey brokey subway on into work.

To score a point, ride your bike to or from a metro station and post a picture of your bike from that ride on the train during the newly opened peak hours (5 to 10 am and 3 to 7 pm weekdays). You should pause the strava ride while you’re in the system so nothing weird happens to your gps/ride data. Put hashtag #bafsmetro in your ride to show up on the leaderboard, or post the pic and link to the ride here in this thread (hell, your impressions of the experience would be appreciated too).

The person who proves multi-modal the most times will be the Metro Peak Pioneer and win a prize to be stoked about!

Rides that use the #bafsmetro hashtag will tally here:

Drat. I’m probably missed out on at least 4 rides (two days of commuting) as I 1 – missed this, 2 – only had my fly cameras going. (maybe a still from approaching a station? and 3 – I split my strava and run it as two rides. one to geton station and one from getoff station.
