How/why am I being added to strava clubs for past years?

[awitt]

Today I was added to two old Strava clubs (BAFS 2017. “Up to Eleven” and BAFS 2018 Team Sleet 16). Was this done by someone from Freezing Saddles? Can a strava user be added to a club without their consent? My allegiance for 2018 will always be to Team 8: Los Ochos Locos.

I don’t see you on Team Sleet 16. Although, that is the most amazing team this year!!

Obviously, this is not an official response. But I have never heard of that happening. Usually all they do is sell your email to Nigerian Princes. (p.s. that last part is a joke)

It is unlikely that the Strava integration on the Freezing Saddles web site had anything to do with it. It does not manipulate clubs at all as far as I can tell.

I removed myself from both groups. I assumed there would be bnew groups for 2019.

There will indeed be new groups. In fact, you’re already on the Team 13 group.

Adding to groups is a Strava function, not a Freezing Saddles one. Strava really shouldn’t be allowing people to add others to their group without consent. But it’s not something Freezing Saddles has any control over.
