Remember to mark trainer rides #NOBASF

Don’t fall prey to FFG’s transposition!

But I think this is a relic of days past for the most part, because the FS takes care of that for you (unless there’s a way to strip the “trainer” marking from your activity.

[HTML]
filtered_rides = [
a
for a in activities
if (
(
a.type == strava_model.Activity.RIDE
or a.type == strava_model.Activity.EBIKERIDE
)
and not a.manual
and not a.trainer
and not is_excluded(a)
)
]
[/HTML]

The only time I can think of this being useful is if you’re actually riding “indoors” somewhere that gets GPS reception, like W-L’s covered parking garage over 66 perhaps. TBH I’m forgetting if parking garages count as indoors or outdoors.

Some people are putting in great efforts on their trainers. While these rides are great for your conditioning, they don’t count for Freezing Saddles. Please remember Rule 3) Trainer rides don’t count. Mark your rides as such or include #NOBAFS in the title to exclude them. Take your bike outside and ride it some distance across the surface of the earth in order to earn points. Manual entries will also not be accepted.

Is Houston Astros doing Freezing Saddles?

Parking garages should totally count, particularly if you are renting out a 40lb Cabi just to get your mega mile. Still cold, plus the ramp incline is worse than anything on the WOD. Advocating for a friend….. hypothetically… who did this recently… in a 3-piece suit and wool coat that now require dry cleaning

On the parking garages issue, I believe we decided that if your movement could be detected with GPS, it was fine. This obviously precludes lower levels of a garage, or a garage that’s under a building. But if you’re at the top level of a garage (which is where you’d be able to get a GPS signal), it’s probably pretty cold anyway.

Elite! Elite! For a friend… who did this at the West Falls Church garage which is all above ground…. hypothetically
