    Freezing Saddles 2015 Registration

    Please keep in mind that this is a game of the forum, by the forum, and for the forum. The whole point is a bunch of friends coming together to goof off. We hope that people will join in the reindeer games, come to happy hours, participate and even organize pointless prizes and side bets, and join in group rides.

    Take care inviting weirdos to join. If you dont think the weirdo is going to join in the forum, or come to a happy hour, or join a group ride – maybe dont invite them. If on the other hand the weirdo likes reindeer games, and is interested in adopting a puppy, maybe they are perfect. Every year new people assimilate into our community during FS. But there are also those who sign up, never show up, never play – and we then have to deal with how to fix our game.

    Registration goes through December 24th. People who buy me pie at FCCII will be put on a good team. The rest of you will be put on Steve O’s team.

    Storing this somewhere where people can see it

    I think this was covered by the instructions, but if not:

    (1) You need to authorize the bafs app to read your data. http://freezingsaddles.com/authorize
    (2) You need to join the BikeArlington team on Strava: http://www.strava.com/clubs/bikearlington

    Once you have done both these things, you should see your rides start showing up on the leaderboard.

    No winner til he actually takes off. A serious flight delay or missed flight could throw this another way. :)

    Here are the actual predictions. Contest is closed, of course:

    Scheduled departure is identical to Dickie’s guess: July 27, 6:05 PM

    However, as chris_s points out, the winner is determined after the plane takes off (with him in it), so there is still a slim chance someone else could win. He could miss his flight, for instance. Or weather could close the airport and he could opt to fly out the next day. Etc.

    Geez! People ride through sleet, snow and vortexes to get hole-punched condoms, and you’re all “What’s the prize?”

    Now that I can post pictures again I can post this in reply:

    July 27th, 6:05 pm, 2015…. I hate this game!

    According to flightaware.com, Lufthansa 419 departed Dulles at 6:50 PM, 45 minutes late. Unless someone has evidence otherwise, I am under the impression our consularrider colleague is on that plane.

    That makes Dickie our winner, despite his dislike for the game. Pointless Prize will be forthcoming TBD.

    And, I was on that flight and am now in Kyiv. That means someone needs to change my descriptor, hint, hint …

    Yes, please put back the one he had before, and then let him choose his own if he wants to change it. I think he has earned that right with his good humor about this whole thing.

    But also +1 for Consular choosing his own.

    How about: “He’s finally rid of us (especially rcannon)”?

    Or how about “Добре, вистачить уже!” Sort of what dkel said. ;)

    For the record, the price for changing an individual’s “catch phrase” is a pie from Acme Pie delivered to BA.

    Shouldn’t the location be changed as well. I would be cool with East Arlington (Kyiv).
