I am braving Freezing Saddles again.  I hate winter need the guilt of letting my team down to get me out in the cold

[Han Miller]

Hi all! I’m new to cycling in DC and excited to join freezing saddles! I bike as my main form of transportation but also want to stay motivated to cycle longer distances despite the cold.

[Martin Noyd]

Hi all, here I am doing the posting thing! Been biking in DC since 2020ish and became a bike commuter in 2023. Looking forward to this challenge!

Hello,

Gave in to peer pressure and will be joining the FS challenge. Been biking in DC for good while and could use the motivation to ride outside through winter.
Looking forward to it!

Hello

[Bushleaguer]

Hi team. I’m really hoping to get into the club this time. It’s probably my last winter in DC area in a while and I want to ride it up BIG TIME!

I am stationed on Fort Meade and have really enjoyed riding the region. It’s way underrated. The cycling community here is really what makes it amazing.

I enjoy 3-4 hour endurance rides in zone 2 all by myself, and 2 hour tempo rides with groups that are above my ability level, but that don’t mind me ducking a wheel the whole time.

Best part of riding for me is the coffee stop(s).

Hi, all!

Just started riding again in June when my doctor complained that my blood work was indistinguishable from maple syrup. Got in a little over 1000 miles since then, got the A1C under control, and dropped about 20 pounds.

Looking forward to freezing sales,  but a bit concerned that an elective surgery may take me out of commission for a few weeks. Alfie to my future teammates!

Hi! Beckie here, looking forward to do my first freezing saddles since 2016!

Hi I am signing up for FS this year!

[Jenna Hager]

Hiya! Been biking for a couple years but never through the chilly seasons. I’m fairly terrified of both the cold and the internet—looking forward to some personal growth (and fun!) this winter!
