Carol,

 

I hope your injuries are not much worse than bruises and that you are healing up easily.  And while I am glad to see that your submission is not really caused by electronics, I would much rather you struggle with devices than get hit by cars!  Please stop that, and as always, job well done for getting the ride and miles in.

@chill-dad:  THIS is what the prize is all about!  Well done.

Joan,

 

That is both a beautiful and touching story, and an awesome display of FS determination!  So sorry for you loss, but proud of those miles!

[epilsk]

You are awesome!

[epilsk]

Maybe you should try harder not to win?  Glad it all worked out safely, but that sounds like a scary evening in all ways.  Please don’t keep these stories coming!

Another chapter in the forthcoming book: Carol v. Electronics.  Amazing, impressive, and sooooo frustrating!  And did you get one of the lanyard/pen things Nadine was selling at the Happy Hour?

[epilsk]

Wow!  Impressive stupidity!  Well done

[epilsk]

Impressive!  I thought that last night’s storm would generate an entry or two.  I think you will get extra consideration because you did all of that for charity and for the greater good of FS2024.  Well done, and I hope today was dryer and more consistently inflated!

I am Eric Pilsk, also in Takoma Park, just up the hill from Merlin.  I commute downtown daily and, weather and life permitting, get a good 20 miles a day.  I love long rides and am happy to help organize a weekend team ride.  My go-to longish ride is something around 65 miles out to one of the beer farms near Laytonsville (Elder Pine, Waredaca, or Brookeville), or just staying in RCP if the weather is not good.  Lots of shorter (and longer!) options west through Potomac or north.

I was also thinking something like Beach Drive Bombers?  Life is a Beach (Dr.)?

Glad to be here!  Hope we can organize some team rides

Where is the mural? I know I should know – I live in Takoma Park and ride by his memorial every day. Glad to help with routing

Belated Announcement of 2023 Winners!

I am deeply embarassed to admit that I forgot to contact last year’s Last Mile winners so I cn make a donation in their name. I dutifully gave their names to Serdar to announce at the final FS Happy Hour, but did not follow through.

So, here are the winners:
Carol Calhoun, a repeat winner, for once again overcoming her bad luck with bike-electronics to get a ride done and recorded, bag some reindeer game points, and have a good date.
Kris (Bigredboiler on the Forum): for taking advantage of an ancient beach cruiser to get his miles in while visiting family in Florida, and riding bonus miles to get his daily 10 when his device stopped recording.

Carol and Kris, please let me know the bike-related charity of yuou choice and I will make a donation in honor of your achievement in going the extra imile to get your daily miles.

Looking forward to the HH!

Nice work!
