    Since happy hour is somewhat delayed this year, we are going ahead and announcing team assignments.  Thanks to @CBGAnimal and @Merlin, we now have the complete list, as shown below.

    Your first order of business will be to join your team’s Strava club.  This is absolutely critical, because the forum software can only add you to a team if you have joined the Strava club.  If you have not joined your team’s Strava club within a few days, you will be dropped from the team.

    Your team captain should be contacting you by e-mail to give you the URL of your team’s Strava club.  In case your e-mail goes to spam, there will also be a thread for each team in this forum.

    Also, please check to make sure you have properly authorized Freezing Saddles to read your miles (and if you have private miles, have authorized Freezing Saddles to read private miles).  If you have, your name will appear at either this page or this page and the page will show your miles so far this year.  (For the moment, don’t worry about which page it’s on so long as it’s on one of them; that part will get sorted out later on.)  If you have not yet authorized Freezing Saddles to read your Strava miles (or if you show as having zero miles because you have private miles but only authorized Freezing Saddles to read public miles), you will need to fix this by going to this page.

    Happy riding!

    Should team captains be making the Strava club and posting it here, or will the clubs be made for us?

    Team captains should be making the teams. You just have to 1) ride and 2) thank your captain for their service

    Seems like there may have been a mix up with Team 9 – Alyssa, aproudfoot, got the captain’s email last night but the post has me as captain. Are we co-captaining or? Someone else is forwarding me the email captains got, so its no biggie, but just wanted to clarify.

    @devin-reed, what I posted was the list I got from the teams people. However, it looks like aproudfoot volunteered to be a team captain and you did not, so she is in fact the team captain. I’ll edit my original post.

    As to your specific question, team captains create the Strava clubs.

    I’m planning on activating the teams on the Freezing Saddles site at Noon EST tomorrow.

    I’ll be opening up a Zoom call at 11 AM Saturday and will work on Freezing Saddles stuff from 11 to 1 PM, including:

    1. Getting the 2025 competition teams fielded on the site
    2. helping folks get development environments set up who drop by
    3. working on active issues from our backlog, probably including some of the library upgrade and infrastructure as code issues

    Richard Bullington-McGuire is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

    • I really have no idea what I’m doing – only that I was desperately trying to get to bed by 3 am only to see these emails hiding in my updates and then a lot of cutting and pasting of individual email addresses. Now it’s 8:15!

    SO for team 7, maybe this link will help you find our Strava club. Just go there and see if you can join.

    We have teams live on the site! However, we’re still missing the team IDs for teams 2, 3, 18, and 20. If the team captains for those teams could post a forum thread with a link to their Strava teams we will amend it.

    Folks won’t show up on the leaderboards now unless:

    1. We can identify the team ID and have added it to the site
    2. They have joined the competition team

    Checking to see if there is an opening to move up from BAFS to an actual team!

    I was on vacation for the first 2 weeks (Egypt, checked, but unable to find a Bike to rent there), and so because I had 0 miles when teams were made, I got dropped. I’m back in the saddle though, and hoping there is an opening to get on a team!

    Anyway, wanted to check now, because IIRC there were 240 participants announced on teams, but when I look at the People stats page, there are only 237 people. Hoping I can grab one of what seems to be 3 open slots?
