Freezing Saddles Scoreboard backend "soft launch"

[Fast Friendly Guy]

As a former Winter Wimp, I feel like everything is falling into place:

• new n+1 winter bike (TREK CrossRip)
• fenders installed yesterday
• studded tires finally arrived
• bell installed
• GPS mounted

All I need now is wet weather covers for my feet and a waterproof rear-rack trunk bag!
Suggestions welcome!

To make any trunk bag or pannier waterproof at no additional cost and negligible extra weight: Put your items into a plastic bag(s) and fold over the top, then put the bag(s) into whatever you use to carry things.

Absent the bell and GPS, you are getting perilously close to a rule 5 violation! Just sayn’!

Thanks….No surprise! I don’t even know what Rule 5 is!

Clicking a column header to sort the People table starts with ascending order. Is that deliberate, putting slackers at the top to be more quickly identified for public ridicule?

Should I be concerned that I did not see my name on that list?

Yes, but only if (1) you have authorized the app (http://freezingsaddles.com/authorize) — it doesn’t hurt to do this again — and (2) you have joined the BikeArlington Strava club (really only relevant for testing phase).

or (3) you need the validation of appearing on silly lists. :p

It’s just the package default.

Thanks, Cyndi, now I can get what folks are posting about.

I was just poking around on freezingsaddles.com in the people section and noticed the “America!|Other” button.

Thanks for the laugh!

Yeah, I wish I could take credit for that; that was all jrenaut

[vvill]

Should be “America!/Liberia” really? I got a chuckle too.

Bumping this. Please remember that you need to go to http://freezingsaddles.com/authorize and authorize the Freezing Saddles app. Not everyone is showing up on the leaderboard.

Are the units for the graph of all the time leaderboards in seconds?
