Registration for Freezing Saddles 2016 is now open!

[cvcalhoun]

Go to this link to register for Freezing Saddles 2016.

Registering is only the first step in entering. Please read this post for further steps, rules, etc.

If you have trouble with the form, please read the remainder of this post. If that doesn’t work, you can send me a private message.

Executive decisions have been made, after as much input as I could get given the short time involved:

• Slackers will not be able to sign up using the registration form. If you really want to be a slacker, you’ll have to wait until January, and then check the forum for how to sign up for the slackers’ Strava club. (There was no consensus on this one, but it seemed to be the best compromise among three positions that got pretty much equal numbers of votes.)
• People who have participated in past years, but have moved out of the area, will be permitted to participate.
• People will be permitted to request that they be put on a team with people in their geographic area.

Some things you might do will cause the form not to submit:

• If you fail to answer any of the questions marked with an *.
• If the Zip Code you enter is not in Maryland, Virginia, or DC.
• If you don’t check the box for “Are you really gonna play?”, the one for “Legal stuff,” or the one for “I’m not a robot.”
• If you select “I’m not really intending to participate in anything, so I’m not registering for Freezing Saddles” under “Will you participate in the reindeer games?”
• If you try to submit the form after the deadline (which is clearly stated on the page, along with a countdown timer). After the deadline, the form will change to one that indicates that you can still register, but may or may not be assigned to a team.

Some things you might do will not interfere with the form submission, but will get you laughed at by the people who have access to view the submissions:

• If you inaccurately state your FS2015 miles.
• If you submit more than once. If you need to make a change, just send me a private message, and I can fix it. We really don’t need two or three of you signed up.

If you need access to the form results, please send me a private message with your e-mail address and why you need access. I already sent a private message to Sunyata. However, Sunyata, if you’re out there and haven’t yet seen your private messages, please come to the white courtesy phone!

Hey ya’ll,

If anyone wants to make a flyer to promote Freezing Saddles at the Hains Point 100…I’ll be glad to put it out to recruit some new folks. It’s on the 20th.

As of right now there are 119 members of the Strava Club.

It’s cute that these two names happen to be right next to each other, don’t you think?

As of today, we’re up to 114 people registered. I believe the total for last year was 132, so we’re well on our way to increasing that number. And of course, last year’s numbers included slackers, which this year’s do not.

Darn laptop keyboard keeps dropping letters. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it, either that or it was autocorrect. :p

[Vicegrip]

Meh. If I were king cunning linguists would be hired to go through the language and strike off all extra letters in words. In fact the letter “C” would be bumped off on day one. All it does is mess things up by acting like two other existing letters. How do you think that makes “S” and “K” feel? “Hey, I could have had that job but no…..”

OK this bad spelar fels beter now, kary on.

[UnknownCyclist]

Why do cunning linguists get all the fun?

Since I’m a Kelly-Kelley, I’m just not sure where my allegiance is.

How about just advocating for each person’s correct spelling?

No. No. We cannot have that!

My last name is Cicotello (sick-o-tell-o), some kind of Ellis Island mangling of the Italian name Ciccotello (chick-o-tell-o). We’ve been misspelling and mispronouncing our own name for about two generations now, and members of my family disagree on what’s correct.

You think Kelly/Kelley is bad?

[jopamora]

Are the miles from last year that important for team assignments? I am not going to ride nearly as much.
