FS Newbies — introduce yourself here!

[Rohan Jyothinagaram]

Hi All,

This is my first time participating in FS, but I’ve been active in the DC bike community for around 2 years now. Looking forward to chasing those winter miles with y’all!

[Alexandra Batal]

Hi all!

 

My name is Ally and this will be my first FS! I live in NW DC but commute to Shirlington by bike every day! Looking forward to some friendly competition!

 

[Chuck Pisula]

“Looking Forward” to FS this year! I work from home full time, so need as many excuses as possible to get outside! Been an avid cyclist since I lived in France a few years back, and looking forward to getting in more miles than I did last winter (~600 miles in Jan/Feb/March 2024). Being originally from Wisconsin, I’ve got no excuse for not doing more cycling during the winter 😉

Hi Chuck. Where do you live? I work from home too, and I would appreciate a daily ride mate. I live in Alexandria.

[Simon Park]

First time with FS. I’m looking forward to riding in the cold. I live in Takoma Park and try to ride 2-3 times per week.

[Pete Kiehart]

Hi I’m Pete! My friend Melissa told me about Freezing Saddles last year, excited to give it a shot this year! I’m usually a huge baby about riding in the cold…hopefully this will be the motivation I need to fix that.

[Connor Letendre]

Hello! I’m Connor and I’m excited to get some cold weather miles in! I’d rather spend more on winter clothing than a zwift membership and I’ve long considered feeling in my toes to be overrated. Hoping to log some miles and find some cool new routes in and around Arlington.

Hi!  I was a first timer in 2024 and LOVED FS.  Looking forward to 2025!!

Hi second time riding in Freezing Saddles. First time was last year and had a blast riding for Team 23 last year.

[Alison M]

I’m looking forward to freezing my saddle on the daily school run in South Arlington!

[Charlie R]

My first year and my first pointless post!

[swatzman]

Hello, this is my 3rd year doing freezing saddles. I did every day last year and am hoping to repeat it again! Usually through my commute to work.

I’m also trying to convince my 4 year old to join in some but that’s going to be a work in progress.

[Donna Lormand]

First FS year; looking forward to it!

[Trey Ottaway]

Hey y’all, hoping to participate this year!

[Sarah Baldwin]

Howdy folks, first time FSing and am new to winter riding! Looking forward to challenging myself this year. Have been incredibly inspired by my friends in Queer Cycle Club. Not living in Arlington currently but I’d say the loop in my favorite local ride. Cheers!
