I didn’t know we allowed either warmth or propulsion in Freezing Saddles!

if it’s for heat it definitely shouldn’t be allowed. it’s “freezing saddles”, not “heated-to-a-dangerous-degree-using-rocket-fuel saddles”

Hello. I’ve been away. IS IT TIME TO REGISTER YET OR WHAT?

… once I get it up, we’ll probably need people to take potshots at me for a while before it can be finalized.

Is there a sign-up sheet for that?

No. Everyone knows that the whole purpose of forum registration is to take potshots at people. [emoji6]

You have to move back to Virginia to play!!! Are you moving back to Virginia? We’d like that.

It says Washington area, and I am in one of them. We may even go below freezing this year maybe!

I think I’m going to pass on BAFS this year. It’s gotten a bit…overwhelming.

I’ll still ride my normal winter rides and thank Freezing Saddles for pushing me through that first winter.

Have fun!

I was really, really hoping that all of this would be decided, and I’d just find a link to the registration page. But no dice.

Since the rules aren’t set yet, how about:

“All Slackers must submit a pointless prize for happy hour?”

“All Noobs must create and provide a prize for at least one side bet?”

“All persons not riding every damn day, >15 miles/day, must provide at least one photograph of their bike to the forum, preferably encrusted with snow, ice or grunge, each week.”

“All persons providing substantial programming assistance for the FreezingSaddles.com website (as determined in the sole discretion of Hozn) drink free (as long as they only order draft beer or bottom shelf liquor) at all BAFS happy hours and other social events where alcohol is served…”

All right, I’ve got a draft registration form up for comments at this link. You will notice there is no submit button. This is deliberate, so no one will try to submit it while it is still in draft. When it is final, I will add the submit button, and possibly move it over to the freezingsaddles.com site (if hozn determines that can be done). Meanwhile, fire away!

You’re the best, Carol.

And I’ve dutifully filled out my draft registration form and I can verify that it looks spectacular. Of course, filling it out (but not being able to submit it) just whets my appetite for more. I’m almost considering trying to come up with a cool side bet… something really esoteric. Like doing Something with all the signers of the Constitution, or all the Vice Presidents of the United States. Or maybe a nice pointless prize for best registration form comment (judged in the sole discretion of …. me! (but, of course, that would require me to have access to the comments, and that seems wrong somehow.)

I’m almost giddy with anticipation of Jan 1.
