I’m in.

Anyone interested in a convoy from College Park (here’s looking at you Greenbelt)?

I’ll probably be at work so will just ride over from Union Station. But happy to lead the convoy home…

I’ll be there after work, so, between 7:30 and 8:00 probably?

I’m in. Excited to find out the team announcements and figure out if anyone else I saw riding into work today is on my team.

Can this be mandatory reading for happy hour? Sorry to my mid-atlantic and southern friends for constantly saying “it’s not that bad outside.”

Dear Northerners: We get that this weather is no big deal for you. Now please shut up.

Pfft, it was only -7degF windchill this morning. My Tauntaun hasn’t frozen yet!

Southern Californian here. But it isn’t that bad outside. Certainly not so bad that public schools should have cancelled classes before dinner last night.

I just realized I won’t be starting my trek to Bier Baron from my normal location, so I’m a little unsure of which route I should take. I’ll be starting up in Sandy Spring venturing south. I have planned the following route, basically taking Layhill down to Sligo Creek (once I hit Sligo, I know where I’m going). For those that are familiar with the area, do you have any comments or suggestions? A complete change up of routes? I’ve also thought about Layhill to Mathew Henson to CCT and onwards. Or is there a direct route south I should consider?

Edit: This alternative through Takoma Park has been suggested to me by friends

Hi all – Looks like we have 61 responses to date. That includes some spouses and significant others as well as non-competing “Friends.” So less than a quarter of the 241 Freezing Saddles riders have RSVPed.
Shall I tell the venue to prepare food for 61, or are others planning to participate?

There is no deadline for RSVPing, but at the same time, it’s really helpful to know if you think you will be there.
Please join in the festivities if you can. Freezing Saddles is far more fun if you’ve met your teammates in person!
Thanks,
w&w

You might want to check your records from last year. For what it’s worth, I think we’ve had about 100 at each of the past several, but far fewer than that have sent RSVPs. As one who has been working with registrations, and found many that had failed to follow the instructions, I wouldn’t count on RSVPs bearing much relationship to actual attendance.
