Pointless Prize: Guess Your Final Score

[Judd]

I’m offering the lowest barrier to entry Pointless Prize of all time. Post a reply here by January 14th of what you think your final 2017 Freezing Saddles points will be. The person who comes closest will win a fabulous prize, yet to be determined. For ease of tabulation you must provide your name as it appears on the Freezing Saddles leaderboard. I’ll edit this post regularly to compile all of the guesses.

Alan A. – 3,456
Amalitza – 1,985
Bob C. – 35
Brett L. – 2,170
Carol C. – 2,100
Casey B. – 2,280
Chris M. – 1,000
Erin M. – 1,100
Grace C. – 1,337

No, just you guys.

I too will bite. 2100. Which thankfully requires no massive additional effort, given that since I last BAFS-ed, my commute alone has nearly doubled in both farness and climbosity.

Strava name: Nimish

Shoot! I forgot when the deadline was for this. Judd am I too late to give you my revised guess? If not, then let’s go with 1,337. That’s pretty close to my calculations, now that I’m adding up points and not miles. :rolleyes:

[Judd]

Not too late. I’m going to extend the deadline to give the new folks a chance to play.

I expect to fall short, but one must set their goals high.

Judd – Asking for “a friend” – any update as to how fabulous this prize is going to be?

This “friend” is trying to decide if he should sandbag the competition and stop riding (thus almost guaranteeing a cheap and hollow victory here as he is within 5 points of his guess) or give up on these fabulous dreams in the futile pursuit of a higher leaderboard placement than originally envisioned or maintaining his very solid 2nd place in the #kidical scoring.

Given that you’re not on my team, I think you should take it easy for the rest of the competition in order to win this prize.

Thanks! I will let the “friend” know that. Since I am on your team (unless I’m getting kicked off?), I will do the opposite and continue going above and beyond my guess.

Ah, I wasn’t matching forum names correctly with Strava names. Yes, definitely keep going!

And miss out on…. A NEW CAR!!!!!!*

You should ride as much as you can. The weather looks like it’s going to be nice for the rest of the contest and there’s nothing better in life than being on a bike.

* This is a lie… It’s probably going to involve jelly beans in homage to the “Guess how many jelly beans are in this jar” contests that inspired this pointless prize. It will likely also include a gift card to a bike shop.

Oh well. I wouldn’t have anywhere to keep that anyway.
