So all I need is an appropriate title. Freezing Saddles Tyrant has a nice ring to it.
I propose the following scoring system based on the key goals of 1) encouraging people to ride their bikes even when the weather is bad and 2) building our community of bicycling friends.
– Days and Miles per MASS (Median Adjusted Scoring System*)
– 50 bonus points for each different FS rider you ride with (according to Strava)
This system combines the goals of FS and should be automatable (Strava reports who I ride with, so I assume the data is available).
Last year I rode with about 15 different other FS participants at least once, which is 750 points. Strangely, Strava only showed me riding with 4 riders at the FSLNHPP. People who went on the President’s Day ride would have done very well, possibly earning 1000 points. You only get points once for each unique rider, so even if you ride with your same buddy every day, it’s just 50 points.
Perhaps extra bonus for teammates would be good, too.
(*This adjust scores such that more points are awarded on gnarly days than on clement days. It has little effect on every-day riders since they ride every day. There’s a thread from last year with discussion of this and other ideas: http://bikearlingtonforum.com/forumdisplay.php?41-Freezing-Saddles-Winter-Riding-Competition. I based my Badassiest and Pusillanimousiest Pointless Prizes on this system.)
