Make up your own!!!! Go to the beginning of the thread for lists of previous year’s and some other ideas. Here’s another someone suggested to me but you could steal:
Snow “Flake” award for 1) all riders with no rides under 32 degrees OR 2) most time indoors on the trainer OR 3) rider with the highest temp in the lowest temp category OR something you devise.
If you are new to FS, awarding a pointless prize is not daunting. You can use stats already being collected on freezingsaddles.com or, if you have a different idea, you can ask the data gurus and see if it’s something they can do without too much difficulty.
Then it’s just a matter of determining your winner(s)/loser(s) and announcing at the final happy hour. Including some sort of pointless item that represents your prize is a nice touch. That’s it. Easy peasy.
