Last year’s raging success was due almost entirely to Sarah Bee’s broken foot. Unable to ride, she was the hostess with the mostess, offering a central gathering point, snacks, drinks and cheerleading.
This year, though, she’ll be riding.
If you have a friend, spouse, SO, sibling or know of someone who isn’t riding in FS who would like to come down and be the Sarah Bee of 2016, please post a note here. We’ll use this thread for organizing.
Feel free to help in some way to make this a fun and successful event. Some ideas include:
- Recruit your friend/SO/relative as suggested above
- Bring a folding table/tent, chairs, etc. to make the social center more “homey”
- Bring some sort of music setup to add to the fun atmosphere
- Bring snacks or beverages to share
- Volunteer to be the “official” photographer
- Bring noisemakers or funny hats for the toast
- Other?
Freezing Saddles is a grass roots, shared experience, built on volunteers. There are 250 participants with maybe 20 of us pulling most of the weight. Spread the word to your teammates that they are encouraged to help with this (or the final HH, or anything else, for that matter). Captains, in particular, reach out to your teams to let them know about the FSLNHPP and also to encourage them to do more than just freeload. It’s part of the game.
