Freezing Saddles: Winter Bike Challenge (sign up open)

[Certifried]

Well, Team 10, not sure what Rod wants to do, but we can use a team I’ve actually had in place for a while

http://app.strava.com/clubs/i-crit-my-pants

I Crit My Pants.

I’d have to kick Mr. Alford out until the end of the challenge, but I’d let him back in (if he agrees to slack off during Freezing Saddles)

Works for me. I’ll join now.

Ug. Okay, the sign up form specifically asked that people sign up with their STRAVA User Names so that they could be found. I did not want to collect any additional Personal Information (protecting privacy). The sign up form directed people to go to STRAVA and set up accounts.

It appears people may not have done so, and may not be findable. Captains are going to have to determine the extent of this problem – and then determine what we are going to do about it. Frankly…. I am not entirely sure what to do. I do think we need to give people who signed up enough time to actually show up.

Captains, you wanted to know what your assignment is? Well, here’s your first kerfluffle.

Strava has some reasonably decent privacy controls. You can even set up a privacy zone around your destinations; work, home, etc. For people who don’t wish to join Strava, maybe the captains could enter mileage manually for them? They could create a new piece of equipment and log miles against that under the non-Strava user. Or if someone is that worried about privacy, maybe they shouldn’t be doing the challenge.

My own view (as a non-captain) is that that would put too much burden on the captains. If people want to participate in this, they should at least be willing to enter their own data.

I actually felt somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of publicly posting my comings and goings– I’m reasonably sure I don’t have a stalker or anything, but I’ve had enough slightly sketchy situations in the past that it just *feels* a bit unwise, even if I can’t quite pin down a specific reason for it. So I didn’t use my real name. Strava doesn’t seem to care.

Rides marked “private” should still show up in mileage counts, people just won’t be able to see the details of your ride. This may not eliminate the privacy issue for everyone, but it’s a good option for people with concerns.

Is this where Captains get to make people walk the plank? Because that’s really the only reason I wanted to be a Captain.

Captain Blacknell has a nice ring to it.

Is that what kids are calling it these days? I’m just going to call Team 3 “US Postal”.

Team 2, where are youuuuuuuu?

I have the teams for all the rest. Please join up with your team!

At some point in the next week, I’ll post a link to the scoreboard. Right now, I’m supposed to be prepping for my PhD proposal and preliminary exam…

[Certifried]

Is anyone else finding they’re constantly going to the team list to remember what team they’re on, or find other team members to heckle?? lol
