#goldenspike – 01/12/2024 – East Falls Church Metro, N Sycamore St

[Dachs6]

13/1/24 – #goldenspike trifecta: rode to Antwerp-Centraal, train to Vilvoorde, ride home from Vilvoorde. Antwerp-Centraal is one of the most beautiful stations in Europe. A classic Art Nouveau design from the early 1900s.

I have an question re: the #GoldenSpike listing under the Pointless option in freezingsaddles.org.  It shows # rides and # miles, but IT DOESN’T SHOW points, eg, the bonus points that I should get via Rule #6:

6. BONUS POINTS: board the train or light rail vehicle with your bike from one station and alight at another station. In that case you will claim three points. Must post a picture of your bike with the start station sign, end station sign, and your bike aboard the train to claim the three points.

I think I have been posting my rides correctly and including the three required photos.  How/where can I see my points, and the points accrued by other people competing for this prize? I’m keeping a spreadsheet to track my stations and points, but that’s hardly official.

I’m interested in an “end of the line” ride. The Traveling Wilburys Ride. It would be fun!

Hi,

 

Yes, I have to track the bonus points on a spreadsheet. The two bonus points won’t be reflected in the standings on the FS home page, which rely solely on the Strava hashtag. I hope to get preliminary standings posted later today for the first two weeks of Freezing Saddles. An additional factor is that some folks haven’t been using the #goldenspike hashtag in their Strava ride titles.
