Since the powers-that-be in their infinite folly have decreed that I am eligible to register for this annual foolishness again, I am proposing a subset for the inevitable Beerneuring Challenge. The winner of my challenge will be the FS 2017 participant who can document having the the most variety of beers produced in Germany during the challenge period. Variety includes different types of beers as well as different breweries. There is no requirement that any of the beers actually be acquired in Germany. I will not be eligible to win the prize, but will try to set a good example.
The basic rules:
1. The beer must be by a German brewery or one licensed to produce a German branded beer.
2. The participant must have purchased said beer, but does not have to have personally drunk it.
3. Only beers purchased on/after 12:00:01 am 1/1/2017 and before/on 3/19/2017 by 11:59:59 pm will count towards the total.
4. I will be the final arbiter of whether a entry qualifies and can change the guidelines of this challenge as I see fit.Documentation required:
1. Date beer purchased.
2. Place beer purchased.
3. Name and location of brewery
4. Type of beer, i.e. hefewisen, hell, pils, dunkel, schwarz lager, etc.
5. Photos are welcome.Sample of qualifying beers currently on hand in my climate controlled storage facility (unheated basement room)

I would like to propose
The Pointless Pointless Prize
Yes, that’s right. Its the prize for the miles that do not count. It is the prize for the FS2017 participant who rides the most miles indoors on a trainer (Matt Aune is disqualified from this competition because well, we wanna see him outside).
This is only proposed – I cant munch the data. Does anyone wanna volunteer to do the code, or tell me how to do this. It does not look like I can create a Strava Club that reflects only trainer miles?
The award for so completely missing the point of Freezing Saddles will be something worthy of the achievement:

IIUC, manually entered outdoor rides will not be counted either. Yet you propose to exclude them from the pointless prize prize. As one of the leading “pushed the wrong thing on Strava” people, I resent this exclusion, and denounce it as unfair.
I am thinking we need to organize a protest. The revolution will not be tracked by GPS.
