The main NBC thread is so long, nearly 30 pages, that I have lost track of the various topics. Is there a plan for a last day evening group ride similar to Freezing Saddles? Assume we will have better weather plus a good number of us may not be working the next day to do the impending gov shutdown.

Someone remind us of the rules. Do you have to log in to NBC by midnight in order for your rides to count? Or will your ride count as long as it is finished by midnight(?) and entered by ______? How does that work?
Regardless, I’m probably in for a last-gasp ride.

From the NBC website:

The “Challenge Period” begins May 1, 2015 (12:00 a.m. central time zone) and ends on September 30, 2015 (11:59 p.m. central time zone).

To be eligible for monthly prize drawings, you must live in the United States and all rides for each month must be entered by 11:59 pm central time of the last day of each month.

Unless there is some other provision for the final days of the contest, it seems that we have until 12:59 am on Oct. 1 to log miles.

The latest weather forecast for Sept. 30:

Partly cloudy, 81F high, 61F low
25-35% chance of precipitation in the afternoon and evening

I’m planning to do some laps at Hanes Point tonight.

Small chance I may come down late, but suspect I will wimp out.
