Freezing Saddles February Side Competition

[Tim Kelley]

This competition is short and sweet and has some money on the line!

We’ve been really impressed with the GPS artwork (Thread here: http://bikearlingtonforum.com/showthread.php?6492-Strava-Ride-Art) that some of you have been able to do, but so far no one has created a drawing of a bicycle!

So, here’s the competition:

-Create a GPS drawing of bicycle by riding a route and recording it with Strava
-It can be any style of bike, the only limitation is that it has to take place in Arlington
-Upload to Strava
-Post the ride link to this thread
-You’ve got two weeks (closes at 11:59pm on February 24th) and then Chris and I will vote on our favorite
-The winner will receive a $25 gift card to their favorite bike shop in Arlington
-Be creative and have fun!

Any questions?

Some additional points: I did it in one ride and did not pause anywhere.

Took Fast Friendly Guy’s advice and affixed four pages of cue sheets to my arms with rubber bands

Thanks to both eminva and Fast Friendly Guy for submitting their bike GPS artwork–it was a really tough decision trying to figure out which one we liked best!

And the winner is…..

Yeah, we couldn’t decide so we’re going to get both of you a gift card! Email me at info@bikearlington.com and we’ll work out details.
