Ooh! I thought I wanted to be the Queen of Sleaze Rides, but Queen of Sordid Bicycling sounds even better!

I’m not so secretly gunning for the sleaze ride award, and I was curious about how it is measured. I noticed that on the days I was tied with two or three others, I was always on top of the chart. Are sleaze days measured and ranked according to distance?

If I have two sleaze days of 1.9 miles each will I show up above someone with two sleaze days of 1.1 miles each?

I think it defaults to alphabetical order when there’s a tie.

I think I went on the slowest sleaze ride ever today. I thought I would just tool around the neighborhood with the kid in the weehoo, but alas, she insisted on riding her own little bike with training wheels. She put in a valiant effort, but our average speed was 2.4 miles per hour. But, she had a smile on her face and quite a sense of accomplishment at the end. I may need to sign her up for a team.

Yeah, I think this is right — the order may also be somewhat arbitrary, but I believe it will be consistent. If this becomes a contested chart we can tweak the logic

My Google translater says that means: “Team three are going to sordid bicycle very serious”
I’m never going to sordid bicycle. Or if I do it won’t be serious.

I once had a Strava segment of 0.2 mph.

The Clarendon Cup and Air Force Cycling Classic (the crit in Crystal City) have kids races. They. Are. Awesome.

To be truly ELITE you have to tape over your helmet vent holes.

Rod Smith was the first I saw using that technique! (at the WABA Cider Ride)
