    Hello cold piercers, where is the snow at?

    Welcome all! If you are new to the game, here to help, if you are veteran…right on.

    The goal of this game is to have fun and ride our bikes, plenty of side games to explore BUT while we are at it we can also contest the milage game. I would like to give it a go.

    How so? Ride your bike at least one mile each day. If you can’t you can’t but you can’t argue with the math.

    One mile day is worth 21 points
    10 mile day is worth 65 points

    The incentive this year isn’t so much to ride high mileage, but to ride consistently daily. The first mile is worth 10 points and each mile thereafter is worth one less point until the 10th and subsequent miles, which are all worth only one point. Plus each ride day is worth 10 points. So a single 10 mile ride is worth 55 points + 10 points for the ride day = 65 points. If someone does two 10 mile rides on two different days, that’s worth 130 points. Compare that to someone who rides a single 20 miles ride on one day = 55 points for the first 10 miles + 10 points for the next 10 miles + 10 points for the ride day = 75 points. For that person to get the same amount of points in a single day, they’d have to ride 75 miles! So getting people to ride consistently (even if only a few miles each day) is a BIG DEAL and the way to rack up points.

    What you need to do to get started:

    1. Join our Strava team – https://www.strava.com/clubs/SNOWPIERCER
    2. Post on this forum introducing yourself. I will create a group email for communication. And we can pick between posting here, email or in our own private strava group (my preference is for one)
    3. Ride every day & have fun!

    Regards to the team name, I welcome suggestions, but going with this for now, as its a bad ass movie, and a cold ass name.

    Ride on!
    Filipe

    Hey team 20! I’m newly a member of the medicare cohort!! Rode 3100 miles last year, live in Fairfax and ride mostly out in VA. Like the cold weather, but still working so don’t get out as much as I’d like but shooting for 3600 miles this year. I’ve stopped group rides a couple of weeks ago as a caution….but am looking forward to sharing my rides with you all!

    Paul
