    Everyone,

    If they haven’t already, team captains will be getting in touch with all of you to join your team’s Strava club. As of post-Zoom virtual HH last night, the leaderboard is now organized by teams. If you haven’t joined your team’s Strava club, you won’t be on the leaderboard — meaning the teams leaderboard or the individual leaderboard. As I type, I know not all the teams are showing up on the leaderboard. The technical team is working with team captains to resolve whatever issues need to be resolved to get all the teams and riders on the leaderboard. Please be patient and remember that everyone making this happen is a volunteer. Getting everything sorted out isn’t going to happen instantaneously, but as soon as possible. Also, once a fix is made it usually takes a few hours before it shows up on the website.

    Please don’t ask me if you’re on a team and what team you’re on. It’s the team captains’ responsibility to get their teams sorted.

    Right now, these are the people on the wait list:

    shawnbeast
    bittasweet
    DopplerShifter
    Thor
    Lfreuclid

    Are the points for alternates compiled and displayed anywhere on FreezingSaddles.org?

    They are listed at https://freezingsaddles.org/people/friends. (People who haven’t joined their team’s Strava club are also there right now, but will move off as they join their clubs.) However, their points are not displayed until and unless they are assigned to a team.

    Hmmm, nobody contacting me, but I’ll give this link a try!

    Okay, I’m there, but neither by choice or late registration. I was hoping the link would provide info on what team I’m on. No one has attempted to contact me. Maybe I can just go down through the teams and search?

    You’re on Team 29. You can join its Strava club at https://www.strava.com/clubs/807887

    All the teams are now on the team leaderboard. More than half have all 8 riders signed up. So now just a question of getting everyone else onto their respective teams.

    Thanks, chuxtr for all your work on getting the teams squared away!

    All the teams are currently set, including Team 31 (which puts us at our max for what the back end can handle). The following people are still on the wait list. There is always the (unfortunate) chance that someone gets injured or has to drop out for some reason, so there’s still a chance you might get on a team (but no guarantees). So keep riding as a Friends of BAFS (your miles and points will show up there) and if you do get put on a team, all those miles will count. But just ride anyway … because riding in the cold is FUN! :D

    And don’t forget two things:
    1. If you didn’t get onto a team, you’re still a Friend of BAFS. Friends of BAFS are eligible to participate in the reindeer games, they just don’t get points based on their rides. So display your socks, join the scavenger hunt, find the Calvinball, etc. Check this thread for what games are going on.
    2. If you eventually get onto a team due to someone’s injury or having to drop out, your miles back to January 1 will be credited to your team. So if you’re still hoping to eventually be on a team, it’s worth riding now.
