Freezing Saddles Last Night Hains Point Party 2018 (FSLNHPP)

[Steve O]

Believe it or not, there are only 2 weeks left in this year’s Freezing Saddles. The official end is at 11:59:59 on Monday, March 19.

As has become our tradition (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017), we will once again curse the end of winter and celebrate the final moments of Freezing Saddles with the FSLNHPP (Freezing Saddles Last Night Hains Point Party)

Here’s how it works.
1) Go to Hains Point on Monday, March 19, the last full day of winter and the last official day of Freezing Saddles. Go anytime you like, but most riders will show up in the evening and into the night.
2) Ride your bike around
3) Stop sometimes at the pit stop to cheer each other on, high-five your teammates and socialize
4) Shortly before midnight, gather at the point and stop your Strava.
5) Curse winter and drink a toast or two to Freezing Saddles

This year it’s on a Monday, so only the true badasses will be there ’til the bitter end. That includes me. As usual, I will bring some lemonade for toasting.

Since I am playing Freezing Saddles from the sidelines and don’t need to ride a lot, I will also staff the pit stop, which is here:

Teams are encouraged to bring cheerleaders, pennants, spotlights, costumes or anything else you like. I may award a pointless prize to the team with the most participants.

And, as usual, the flyby is fun to watch. Here’s Chris W’s

My coworkers also thank everyone who attended for the cookies, gluten free cupcakes, apples and bananas I think they only lasted about 15 minutes once I sent the agency wide email out.

That was a seriously fun night. Thank you Steve O for organizing and bringing the car full of treats.

Here’s my best guess:
Steve O, bikedavid, Bryan Church, LhasaCM, Emm, Steve Sz, jrenaut, Brian Miller, birru, fxbikes, reji, kwark, CBGAnimal

The two dark heads in the background are the question marks.

Josh should get credit for being there, but he wanted to complete the HP segment by midnight and left just a minute or two prior to this photo.

Steve,

Thanks for hosting. This was my first Freezing Saddles but it won’t be my last! Thanks to everyone that brought snacks and rode laps. I’m working on recruiting more MoCo, Maryland people for 2019.
