Freezing Saddles Last Night Hains Point Party – March 19th, 2015

[jrenaut]

Mark your calendars – you are all invited to the 2nd Annual Freezing Saddles Last Night Hains Point Party on March 19th, the last night of the contest. Steve O and I (I mean, I don’t want to speak for Steve O, but I’m pretty sure his attendance is a given) will get down to Hains Point around 8pm or so and ride circles until close to midnight. There will be a toast of some sort to the contest and to all of us sometime around 1130.

Details will firm up as the date approaches, but wanted to get it on your calendar now in case you want to attend.

Remember that rides ending AFTER midnight do NOT count. I know some riders last year stopped a ride and restarted to make sure the miles got counted. You can upload rides after midnight so long as they ended before midnight.

Probably about 40+ riders and lots of snacks out there tonight at around 10pm. We’re crazy, you know.

The Hanes Point ride was col enough to make up for all the cold and dark rides earlier in BAFS

That was so much fun! Special thanks to JRenaut for coming up with this awesome idea and bringing the amazing brownies, and to Steve O and SarahB and many others for incredible festivity and generous hospitality.

SarahB, it was so wonderful to see you out there supporting us in such a wonderful way even though you couldn’t ride. Thank you so much!!!

For any who may not be aware, Teresa A, in the green jacket on the right, got off a plane from Paris at 5 p.m. yesterday and still managed to join the group at HP and stay til the end! (She’s a pretty awesome garage racer too.)

Though I did the “early” part of the ride, it was a fantastic way to end BAFS. Thanks SarahB for the snacks!

What a fantastic way to bring BAFS to its rightful conclusion! Great seeing everyone out there and nice to meet folks and teammates beyond just a name in Strava. Want to give a big kudos to SarahB for her SAG idea. It was an instant hit and she has raised the bar for the next FSLNHPP! Thank you SarahB and wishing you a speedy recovery!

Yes! The SAG wagon was great, thanks to everyone for the snacks and liquid refreshments.

That was a lot of fun. It was great meeting everyone and I had fun looping around the point 13 times. Thanks to SarahB for the food and drink, having a snack and a gathering place to chat with people in-between laps was great.

Lost & Found Alert:
If you left a pair of riding glasses @ HP last night, shoot me a PM with what kind of glasses and where you left them, so that they may be reunited with the rightful BAFS2015 bad ass!

[CPTJohnC]

I enjoyed meeting many of you. I’m only sorry that I bailed early. Except, not really – it was tough getting up for work this AM.
