    BTW I just want to take a moment to thank the folks involved for making and finetuning the FS site and software.

    Please carry on. (No need to translate from whatever strange exotic language you are conversing in ether)

    Kudos to our software overlords from me also.

    On a related note, does the data upload from Strava to the Freezing Saddles leaderboard happen at regular times during the day or is more “real time”?

    Just curious…

    It is every 15 minutes right now. That is infrequent enough to not exceed the api usage limits. We may have to reduce that if we add more features in the future.

    BTW, I am aware of bugs in the graphs right now. It has to do with this change to use a start time with a timezone, but will be a quick fix.

    Do I get an award for Freezing Saddles First Faceplant? I wiped today on the wet trail. Need a new helmet, I have road rash all over my side butt and leg and shoulder, with some dings on the face thrown in. Now I have to get my rear wheel trued and everything readjusted at the shop. I’m out of commission for a day or two already. Need to find the apologize to my team thread.

    Oh, then I got a flat on the ride home, glass stuck in the tire and popped my tube (and then my spare). Really not my day. If you saw me changing a tire on the W&OD right next to Walter Reed Dr. today. I hope you said “hi!”

    @hozn,thanks for the reply. You have satisfied my curiosity.

    Ian,

    Ouch, that sounds like a really, really bad day. At least you didn’t have to worry about getting too cold standing out there while fixing flats and brushing yourself off.

    It looks like you were wearing a Prevail helmet. I have one too and am curious as to how well you think it protected your noggin.

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

    True, wasn’t bad at all out there. I was wearing bib shorts.

    Actually my helmet is a Specialized Align, it’s a cheaper helmet, the Prevail looks much nicer. For a cheap helmet though I would say it did a great job. It made a loud knock but I was up on my feet right away. Looks like the styromfoam on the inside cracked a tiny bit, so I’m actaully going to hit Spokes Etc. tomorrow after work to buy another one of the same (also because I already have a spare set of replacement pads for the helmet).

    Many of us have the little reflective tags that say “Bike Arlington” or “Bike Forum” – some are yellow, some are blue, and some are even pink! I think that was the idea behind this. Maybe a volunteer could make another go at it.

    We’ve still got a bunch left in our storage room…

    I registered well before the 24th and was on the freezing saddles.com site up until s few days ago. Does anyone know why I got bumped off? Did a sub replace me? I’d like to stay registered if possible and am super bummed that I’m apparently no longer in the system.

    How could one from Fairfax procure such a thing? Are people from Fairfax allowed to use things from the People’s Republic of Arlington?

    sarah, you are on a team. nobody’s being replaced yet. hozn or jrenaut can probably help with your technical issues.

    Stop by our offices. You have to take extras to Happy Hour…

    Also, Fluttershy is the preferred MLP at the BikeArlington Intergalactic Headquarters.

    I would have thought Rainbow Dash more your speed.

    Holy moly it was cold on my ride home tonight. Holy moly.

    I am not certain I like this FS concept… :p
