Less than 30 more Freezing Saddles spots available!

[cvcalhoun]

Currently, we have 221 registrations for Freezing Saddles. The maximum limit on participants is 250. Anyone who registers after we reach that limit will be able to compete only if someone else drops out, gets injured, etc. So don’t count on being able to register later; we are running up against the limit.

Some notes based on registrations received so far:

• If you want to compete in Freezing Saddles, you have to register to compete. Registering for this forum, although required, will not register you to compete. Registering for the Freezing Saddles 2024 Strava club, although also required, will also not register you to compete. If you have any doubts about whether you are registered for the Freezing Saddles competition, please go to this page and see whether it looks like something you have previously completed. If not, please fill out the form at that page.
• You have to register for this forum and make at least one post in order to participate in Freezing Saddles. However, if you have attempted to register and/or to make a post and have gotten a message saying you/it are awaiting authorization, go ahead and register for Freezing Saddles anyway and just note this where it asks how many posts you have made. Henry, who is our forum god (see list of who is in charge of what here), is monitoring registrations and getting people/posts out of limbo.
• After you register, you should receive two e-mails, one confirming your registration and one asking you to click on a link to confirm your e-mail. Although the second e-mail seems to be getting through much better than it has in previous years, due to some changes I made, it may still go to spam. Please look for it and click on it if you find it. If you can’t find it, please send me a message and I can confirm you manually.
• After registering, please confirm that you are on this list. If you are not, you forgot to do one or both of two things: Join the Freezing Saddles 2024 Strava club or authorize Freezing Saddles to read your Strava miles. Please go back and do those two things, and you will appear on the list.

Everyone involved in this competition (including me) is a volunteer. I do my best to get people registered, in spite of what is unfortunately unavoidably a complex process. But this year, I’m going to have much less flexibility to accommodate people who register late. So if you want to compete, please register now.

Just curious. If we reach 250, will it be 25 teams of 10?

I’m having trouble registering. When I try to submit it says a field is required but I don’t see where this may be. Can someone help?

That will be up to CBGAnimal an Merlin, who are in charge of team assignments. But I can tell you that in past years, the number of teams (and thus the size of teams) has been heavily dependent on how many people volunteer to be team captains. @AlanA 226593 wrote:

I just sent you a private message. @Sophie CW 226598 wrote:
