Pointless Prize Thread 2024

[cvcalhoun]

Just to clarify, “participant” for this purpose includes Friends of BAFS, unless otherwise specified by the sponsor. It’s an opportunity for those who don’t feel they can commit to being part of a team (or this year, who are unable to register due to the 250-person cap) to join in the fun. Instructions for becoming a Friend of BAFS can be found here. @Serdar 226601 wrote:

Bumping up this thread for I added three more new pointless prizes. Check them out in the first post.

Big thank you to sponsors who volunteer their time and efforts to motivate winter riding!

Does anyone know how to change the pointless prize leaderboards? Singlespeed is ranking by number of rides, but this year it’s by mileage only. Maybe the easiest way to fix it would be to delete the number of rides column?

@serdar, Public Art Finder is apparently also limited to participants in Freezing Saddles, not Friends.  You may want to edit.

Hello to Serdar or anyone else who can help me find the SOCK entries.  I went through the Forum #socks and found 143 entries.  But in STRAVA there are 235 #socks on rides.  Is there a way to find just the rides with #socks in the title so that I can pull the entry photos?   Cannot figure it out.  Many thanks.

Please respond via email hirhoward@yahoo.com or text 240 286-4815

 

Regards, Jessica

Team Meh-Diocrity awards

 

 

And the individual Meh-Diocrity Awards
