Please mark your calendar for next month’s Freezing Saddles Happy Hour, at which we’ll meet our teammates and celebrate the start of the Freezing Saddles season.
Date: Wednesday, January 10, 2018
(The Freezing Saddles contest starts on Jan. 1st, but holding the happy hour on Jan. 10 gives the coordinators time to create the teams and work through the technical details).
Time: We’ll start at 6 pm. We’ve got the venue to ourselves ‘til closing time at midnight.
Location: Bier Baron Tavern, 1523 22nd St NW, Washington, DC (between P and Q Streets on the east side of the street)…this is near Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom in DC.
Details to follow.

Looking forward! w&w and the hardworking Freezing Saddles Social Committee

What a terrible day to have a work meeting at 7pm.

I hope you don’t get “sick” that day.

The lack of sick days may be the single biggest drawback to having your own business.

On the bright side, my meeting is like 10 blocks from Bier Baron

The Strava 2018 “Team” is showing 238 registrations as of December 11th.
I am wondering about a few who, like me, are not in the DC area.
Are all of us who registered from around the globe legit? Is our FS2018 a closed group?
Just wondering.

The only one I see who seems dubious is Maicon Castilho in Rio de Janeiro. All the others are either, like you, part of the diaspora, or actually live in the DC area but show something different on their profile.

The only one I see that looks dubious is Maicon Castilho in Rio. All the rest are either part of the diaspora like you or live in the DC area but show another location on their profile.

I just checked my calendar and found January 10, 2018 is Wednesday. I figure by this time someone else would have mentioned this and now doubt my version of reality. Is “Tuesday” the error or is “January 10”?

Steve, yes, that Rio guy is the one who stands out, especially since he is on the leaderboard and, if you view his profile, he has joined every Strava group in the world (looks that way to me). I want to see Rod Smith, Patty F, Eric Willians, Judd, or and Bob J, and more legitimate FS riders on the leaderboard, but not this Maicon guy. He seems like a party crasher.

That is the title of the thread, so at least half your brain was correct from the get-go.

He started commenting on my strava rides and was the reason I switched my profile from public to request to follow.

Well, he won’t be able to crash the party for long. Once teams are formed, the leaderboard will be based on the Strava clubs for the teams. And I assume the team captains will kick off anyone not supposed to be on their team.

I plan to attend if in the area, as I am from this area, but now live outside the area, and may do some rides both in this area, and other areas, including the area where that suspicious character rides whom you all want to kick out of FS2018 because he is not of this area.
