    Back by popular demand! The BAFS2018 Social Butterfly (and Infiltrator) Pointless Prize Competition…

    Because I have been too busy to really do much other than team assignments this year, the rules will be exactly the same as they were last year, with the small exception of the hashtag for group rides.

    The premise is pretty simple. Be the person that goes to the most social events related to Freezing Saddles between January 10th and March 19th.

    REMINDER: This contest does not start until the Opening Happy Hour on January 10th at 6PM.

    What is a social event, you ask?

    1) A BAFS happy hour (such as the opening happy hour happening on Tuesday) that is publicly posted and open to all participants of BAFS and has a minimum of nine other BAFS attendees (ten total)
    2) A BAFS team specific happy hour planned by members of one team that is either publicly or privately posted and has a minimum of three other BAFS attendees (four total)
    3) A BAFS organized ride of greater than 4.99 miles that is publicly posted and open to all participants of BAFS and has a minimum of nine other BAFS attendees (ten total)
    4) A BAFS team specific ride of greater than 4.99 miles planned by members of one team that is either publicly or privately posted and has a minimum of three other BAFS attendees (four total)
    5) A local shop/coffee/social ride of greater than 4.99 miles planned either by BAFS members or the general cycling community that is publicly posted and has a minimum of five other BAFS attendees (six total)
    6) A coffee club with at least five other BAFS attendees (six total)
    7) Any other bike-related event (for example, Monster Cross or a bike related movie at Arlington Draft House) with at least five other BAFS attendees (six total)

    For all non-ride events, photos are required that name (forum user names please) all BAFS participants and describe the type of social event.
    For all ride events, photos that name (forum user names please) all BAFS participants and a Strava link are required. Please advise the type of ride (BAFS general, BAFS team, Shop, Coffee, etc). Please also use the hastag #BAFS2018Butterfly on all Strava group rides.

    Photos (and strava ride links) should be posted in this thread. Only one BAFS participant needs to post, everyone that attended will get credit as long as they are in the photo.

    Bonus points will be awarded for any event where at least 9 team members participate.

    A really awesome prize that is yet to be determined is up for grabs here. Not to mention all the really awesome people that you will get to meet!

    In addition to the Social Butterfly, there is the Infiltrator Award.

    This is the award for the person who infiltrates the most “Team Specific” events.

    What is a “Team Specific” event?

    1) A BAFS team specific happy hour planned by members of one team that is either publicly or privately posted and has a minimum of four members from the posting team
    2) A BAFS team specific ride of greater than 4.99 miles planned by members of one team that is either publicly or privately posted and has a minimum of four members from the posting team
    3) Any other team specific bike-related event that is either publicly or privately posted and has a minimum of four members from the posting team

    For all non-ride events, photos are required that name (forum user names please) all BAFS participants, which team organized the event, and describe the type of social event.
    For all ride events, photos that name (forum user names please) all BAFS participants, which team organized the event, and a Strava link are required. Please advise the type of ride (BAFS general, BAFS team, Shop, Coffee, etc). In addition, please also use the hastag #BAFS2018Infiltrator on all infiltrated Strava group rides.

    Please indicate that you infiltrated the event. Each individual that infiltrated the event will need to post their own photo (duplicates will not be accepted) if they wish to be counted.

    Bonus points if more people from YOUR team show up at the event than those from the organizing team.

    A great showing at the Proteus Bicycles ride down to the MLK Jr Memorial today. I’m not certain what category this ride falls under, but fairly certain the retirements are met.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but that is drevil, dbehrend, Rod Smith, david.helms, msalemme, and JoM? If so, all are accounted for.

    I hosted a gravel ride last Saturday and several BAFS folks came out for 40 miles of crunchy goodness.

    We had 16 folks show up, six of which were BAFS participants: D_a_n_e, josh, PC-Chile, quikaf77, stahlkenetic, and sunyata

    I promise everyone is in the first photo (can you guess whose bum is whose?)!

    After the ride, we stopped for some pizza and beer. On the way out of the parking lot, I saw this little gem:
