Thank you for sponsoring! I added your prize and #poggio hashtag to the Pointless Prize Topic 2025.

Thanks @spletzer for bringing back this Spring Classic. For those unfamiliar with its location, you can find it on Strava https://strava.app.link/e1xZ4wLVKPb

So is this an individual POGGIO prize only or will there be a sponsored team variant of the prize? (I’m not angling for it either way, would just like to clarify for the web site)

[spelter]

Let’s just keep it individual this year. Thanks!

I don’t understand, what are we supposed to be doing?  Riding your segment is many times as we want???

[obscurerichard]

That’s the idea, ride the segment as much as possible, for glory and possibly a pointless prize!

(I haven’t ridden this segment myself yet…)

[sszibler]

Is it all automatic or do we need to post a hashtag on Strava or here?

[spelter]

Yes, you just ride the segment as many times as needed to stay in the lead. https://freezingsaddles.org/pointless/generic/poggio-indiv

It’s automatically captured when you upload to strava and the freezesaddles site keeps track of the number of repeats. The most repeats wins.

It got pretty high in the past and went down to the last day.

Hi @spelter! Are you coming to the closing happy hour and announcing the winners of your prize? If you can’t make it, please, let me know your winners.

Thanks,

Serdar

[spelter]

No I won’t be able to make it. Mrln was the winner with 100 repeats! https://freezingsaddles.org/people/48773683 I just need a good email to deliver the gift card

If it’s not super specific, I’d be much more inclined for it to go to mwaba, https://gomwaba.org/
