Social Butterfly (and Infiltrator) – Pointless Prizes

[Sunyata]

So. The moment you have all been waiting for. The details of the Social Butterfly (and subsequent Infiltrator) pointless prizes!

This is a bit more complicated than my other one, so I will break it down to make it as simple as possible.

The premise is pretty simple. Be the person that goes to the most social events related to Freezing Saddles between January 10th and March 19th.

What is a social event, you ask?

1) A BAFS happy hour (such as the opening happy hour happening on Tuesday) that is publicly posted and open to all participants of BAFS and has a minimum of nine other BAFS attendees (ten total)
2) A BAFS team specific happy hour planned by members of one team that is either publicly or privately posted and has a minimum of three other BAFS attendees (four total)
3) A BAFS organized ride of greater than 4.99 miles that is publicly posted and open to all participants of BAFS and has a minimum of nine other BAFS attendees (ten total)
4) A BAFS team specific ride of greater than 4.99 miles planned by members of one team that is either publicly or privately posted and has a minimum of three other BAFS attendees (four total)
5) A local shop/coffee/social ride of greater than 4.99 miles planned either by BAFS members or the general cycling community that is publicly posted and has a minimum of five other BAFS attendees (six total)
6) A coffee club with at least five other BAFS attendees (six total)
7) Any other bike-related event (for example, Monster Cross or a bike related movie at Arlington Draft House) with at least five other BAFS attendees (six total)

For all non-ride events, photos are required that name (forum user names please) all BAFS participants and describe the type of social event.
For all ride events, photos that name (forum user names please) all BAFS participants and a Strava link are required. Please advise the type of ride (BAFS general, BAFS team, Shop, Coffee, etc).

Photos (and strava ride links) should be posted in this thread. Only one BAFS participant needs to post, everyone that attended will get credit.

Bonus points will be awarded for any event where at least 9 team members participate.

A really awesome prize that is yet to be determined is up for grabs here. Not to mention all the really awesome people that you will get to meet!

Not sure this will count but I’m asking the social butterfly points queen anyway!!
Getting to HDCC this morning in 20* (with a feel like score of 7*) was brutal…but 4 of us made it! FFG, Bobco, Arlingtonrider, and CBGanimal….

I second this request. I was planning to attend and would have made 5th person, but I was to much of a coward to travel on the dark, icy, snowy trails and roads. I’m sure there was another like me who was there in spirit, but unlike these 4 brave souls, did not venture out. That would make 6.

Right. In fact, a few weeks ago I was on Grand Cayman, and I bet there were 15-20 FS–maybe more–participants who didn’t make the trip but were there in spirit. Let’s count those for me!

Slightly off-topic, but was this a gravel ride (I’m assuming so given the relation to DK200 and all the gravel tires in the photo)? If so, post the deets?

If you want my recap of the ride, you can read all about it here. I tend to ramble, so it may not be the most entertaining (or quick) read.

Here is the link to the longer ride, if you were interested in the exact route we took. It ended up being a tad more elevation than I was expecting (Ride with GPS lied – it was 6,500 feet of climbing), but it was spaced out nicely.

I will be doing a few more of these (obviously the long route will get longer) between now and the end of May. If you (and that goes for anyone) want an invite, feel free to PM me your email address or Facebook info (I tend to make the events on FB, because it is easier). The more the merrier! My friend Joe usually makes a shorter route that hangs with the longer one for 20-30 miles before splitting off to head back to the start if you are not up for (going forward) 90+ mile gravel rides.

Sweet! I don’t do a whole lot of group rides, but I am going to try and get back in shape this spring/summer using gravel rides to try and mix things up, so this may be good motivation. I’ll PM you with my contact info.

Steve O is photoshopping himself into pictures again. No points.

SIR! Before making outlandish claims, please be prepared to present evidence. No more alternative facts.

SteveO, good seeing you this morning at A Baked Joint and for demonstrating how to do a butt-selfie!

SteveO, your strength to ignore the hataz is admirable. Good seeing you this morning at A Baked Joint, and for demonstrating to all of us how to take a butt-selfie!
