1) vvill, Robert O, TwoWheelsDC, and anyone else who thinks they may be a candidate for Non Freezing Riding, would you mind PMing me with approximate mileage and weather conditions. Winner will be an arbitrary and totally non-scientific combination of how far you rode and how warm and sunny it was. No need to be too precise.
I am happy to provide some numbers if you like. A surprising number of the top warmest rides (especially if you consider distance) are actually right here.

[/TABLE]Note that these are only individual rides. I can get a sum of miles above X temperature or something more complex, if desired. This might also be one of the better ones for human interpretation, since I’m sure everyone feels that rides out in the desert during ‘freezing saddles’ are more “unfreezing” than the 70F local rides.

ParticipantEither that or this:
Mark Williams
3/15/13 morning the long way (GPS fail)
12.2mi 0ft 1hr 0mSometimes when Garmins fail, when you reload to Stava it doubles up old rides as new?
March 15, 2013 at 6:09 pm #964900hozn
ParticipantI think the official leaderboard won’t clear out the [apparently?] bogus entry(s) from Mark Williams until it does the daily refresh.
March 15, 2013 at 6:17 pm #964901rcannon100
ParticipantOkay, I am told that the leaderboard is being corrected.
I declare this rule for the first place award: No point dumping, no messing with points, no nothing. This is the honor system and a lot of people have been working hard at this. While I expect there will be a final push – suspicious stuff is going to get your team DQd for first place at my sole discretion. Play fair and be nice.

Don’t take this wrong way, but I cannot get out of my head BSNYC’s article on doping at Gran Fondo New York when considering the possibility of point manipulation for BAFS.

Breaking the rule of never reading the comments on anything, I came away with this gem:
“I’ve been doping for years but for some reason I’m not getting any faster. Maybe I’m not smoking enough of it.”

ParticipantAny nominees for the Dirty Mustache award? I can provide two, so perhaps one for the politest rider, and one for having to deal with the least polite rider/situation.

Dickie, I think if you are providing the prize, you can do whatever you want. Pick a winner out of a hat, ask us to vote, offer it to whomever buys you the best beer at happy hour (a very polite thing to do, amirite?)…
Yourite….. OK, so I will be there to award the prize(s)…. I will take nominations via PM until noon on March 21st.
Blond Mustache – Most polite rider
Black Mustache – Rider dealing with least polite situation or fellow rider
Pink Mustache – Person who buys me my first beerYou can self nominate, or nominate others.

Thanks! I don’t think I need anything more complex. This will be somewhat subjective based on who appears to be most in violation of the “suffer through winter” spirit of the competition. Plus whoever shows up to happy hour.

ParticipantAnd another nomination for most suspicious ride…..
YES! I got a KOM on the Spout Run to 66 Segment! Yes!!!!!

(um, look how fast I was going….. um, any suggestions on how to fix this ….. other than deleting the ride itself??….. dont want to junk the data)

ParticipantWhile it was not actually summer in Mexico, I was there on vacation with wife, two sons (4 & 2), and my in-laws (so there was some suffering ha!). The hotel had about two dozen banged up Mexican mountain bikes…free to check out whenever you want. I was able to get away, often in sandals and bathing suit, to get some rides in. It was a welcome escape from some rather awful weather in DC that week.

Since I owe you a beer (or better yet – a whisky) – I nominate myself for the pink mustache award
