I just noticed something I did rank high in, slowest. I was 8th slowest overall.

Too fast. I think 7th slowest won a pointless prize.

Nobody minds if a forum newbie joins in? I think this will be a great way to keep me going through the winter. Hopefully it’ll also give me a chance to meet some new people.

Actually, one of the objectives (do we have objectives?) is to expand our community. So not only do we not mind, we encourage you to join. See you in the cold!

Welcome! If you ride at least somewhat frequently in winter, please help us crush whatever team Shawn is on! (Stated differently, even if you consider yourself somewhat of a slacker in comparison some of the more awesome people on the forum, joining a non-slacker team will help the game and be much more fun and a better way to get to know everyone.)

I submitted my registration. Not sure I should be with the slackers or not.

I don’t think you’re eligible for slackers.

I think that people who ride frequently, even short distances, will have much more fun on a regular team.

I signed up. See you all on the battlefield. This is going to be fun! I hope I can win the most beers consumed at a happy hour award.

One thing though…I have a windows phone so no strava ap. I will manually enter all my miles in strava, and all my rides are logged in Endomondo. If there is an audit I can simply show my Endomondo data for those who may wonder

Another alternative would be to use Tapiriik, which will automatically sync data between Endomondo and Strava. For $2/year, synchronization is fully automatic. If you can’t manage that, you can visit tapiriik.com as often as you want to manually trigger a synchronization.

Wow! What a great tool! Thanks for the link. I did download Striver last night which is a Windows phone client that syncs to strava (was tipsy last night and after my post went looking for a solution) Wish I had seen this first.

I have this weird attachment to my Endomondo, it has so many rides and statistics all saved in it, I hate the idea of using a new app.

I feel evil saying this, but I hope for a new congress gov shutdown in Feb or March. If it happens and it is not way cold nor snowy, I plan to go to Stokesville and ride every freaking day. Actually I will probably rent the Stokesville Lodge and make an open Freezing Saddle invite for anyone to join me. I will take my MTB, cross and road bike.

Is it bad I am lying around fantasizing about this? Even the details of routes such as double death climb day, sm100 halfway backwards, Wild Oak slog fest, …..

I registered last night. See everyone out in the cold!

Oooh! That sounds fun. My MTB club rents the lodge every MLK, Jr. weekend in January. Snow rides down Timber Ridge are a BLAST! 😎

Hmm. I plan on riding at least 5 days/week, but there will be 2 weeks where I will not be able to ride at all, which is why I asked to be put on the Slacker team. And also, I’m an underachiever. :p
