Pointless Prize Topic 2025

[veleau_monica]

Hi Serdar- add in #CABI #cabi – capital bikeshare pointless prize!!!!  i made a thread

[Serdar]

Thanks for reminding, @veleau_monica. I added your prize.

[veleau_monica]

is there a pointless prize for getting a snowball direct to the face by teenage punks on the CCT?

[Serdar]

@veleau_monica, you can either sponsor that prize or write up about your challenge to accomplish that ride in the Extra Mile topic. I am sorry that you met misbehaved teenagers.

Hey @serdar, would folks be up for a #kabob or Pizzaneuring (#pizza) reindeer game?

I assume kabobs have a deep, intertwined history with cycling. And I think pizzaneuring has been tried in the past.

Let me know if either sounds good, I can perhaps help set one up!

Thanks again!

@serdar I’d like to propose a pointless prize for the most delightful thing carried on a bike during Freezing Saddles. Not the biggest thing – a thing that brings us joy and makes passersby wonder what the heck they just saw. Pets? Spouses? Baked goods?
Open to methodology (eg number of likes on a photo posted on the forum or Strava). The prize would be an extremely heinous crocheted granny square safety vest in blinding orange and white.

@Nomnomnom, I am sorry for the late reply. Sure thing, #kabob and #pizza are good ideas. Please, go ahead and post a forum topic, and then I will add your prize to the list.

[Serdar]

Alison, please, post a forum topic, and then I will add your prize to the list.

Serdar,

Any way to investigate why #BoB leaderboard tracker for Sophie CW reports way more #BoB that she does in her Strava?  For reference, leaderboard counts 23, but I counted 15 rides via manual check on Strava.  Luckily, she is crushing everyone so it doesn’t really matter that leaderboard is off.  I looked for obvious thing like 3 consecutive letters B-O-B appearing in her ride titles, but that isn’t it.  Let me know if anything I can do to help.

@bigredboiler some of the activities are “followers only” or otherwise restricted, but they’re all real activities. Have you followed Sophie? More of them might be visible then. The Strava UI is also not great for paging through these things, it would not surprise me if it gave an incomplete view.
