Pointless Prize – Real Supple Ride – #FSrealsuppleride

[consularrider]

My #FSrealsupplerides have been on my Surly Pugsley Ops fat bike. I have had two different set of tires:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]21409[/ATTACH] for the 3 to 4 inch, I am on Surly Nates (by Innova) (26 x 3.

Real Supple Ride Results!

So Al S has officially won the #FSRealSuppleRide pointless prize with 122 rides for 2175 miles, followed very closely by Chris W with 95 rides for 2021 miles.

Al is a good buddy of mine, and I gave him the 29×2.2″ tires he used for Freezing Saddles. The funny thing is that he has other lighter and more nimble bikes (Road and CX), but he prefers to log almost all of his FS miles on his mountain bike with a front basket and a cooler

One thing that I also found amazing is Chris R’s Supple4 results: 23 rides for a total of 423.6 miles ON A 4″ (or bigger tire) FAT BIKE?!?!! It was almost 387 miles ahead of second place. Crazy!

I’m still working on the design, but I’m making shirts for Al and Chris W for winning Overall, as well as Chris R for crushing Supple4.

Thanks to everyone who played!

Here is the link to the spreadsheet, split out into Overall, Supple2, Supple3, and Supple4: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fPWzKnoMhASDQ9IzwWAN6O5Vt-CJAcDA__vM2pw4vGc/edit?usp=sharing

BTW, here’s my bike with 27.5 x 3.8″ tires, so I counted it as Supple3. It was beastly. I rode it a few times during Freezing Saddles, but I eventually swapped out the wheels to 29 x 2.5″ so I could get a few more miles before getting exhausted

PS – if you posted a pic in this thread while the competition was running, I’m making you a reflective “Supple” sticker.
