Your leaderboard still says stuff from last year, but I’ll update it soon.

Does today count? I’m looking forward to my ride today, it’s going to be a lot of fun on my new gravel bike

According to the rules, 2 hour delayed arrival doesn’t count as a snow day. But rules are meant to be broken. And if this is the only “snow day” we get during Freezing Saddles, maybe Kitty will count it. But regardless, it’s a ride your bike day!

On days like today I remember why I still have a heavy, internally-geared, roller-braked, fat-tired Dutch bike.

Chuxtr is quite right. I’m gearing up to go to work right now, so it doesn’t count as a “Snow Day” for the purposes of this pointless prize. If we don’t get any true, honest-to-goodness-free-vacation-day closures, the alternate form of winning is miles of Michigan Day (mark your calendars)

I’m so glad to hear it! I always have a lot of fun picking them out from among the offerings at the Spirit Shop near my family’s place, and explaining to them what its for.

I just got back from a week in Michigan, where we had some nice snow to ride in.

Everyone better go ride tomorrow in case we don’t end up getting a snow day.

Remember everyone! Today is Michigan Day! If we don’t get any OPM Snow Days, miles ridden TODAY will determine the winner of the prize.

That’s fabulous! I just love the photos. Where did you go up there?

Got some extra miles in this am! Know at least one person doing a century today though so I’ll have to hope for some snow to win this!

Does a ride today count if the rider is in Florida but it’s not a snow day in dc so nobody got a snow ride? I’ll be back for any real snow days.
