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!

There seemed to be something wrong with the original post. I just went ahead and took care of it.

In no context is it acceptable to post a picture that looks like that with the caption “I just went ahead and took care of it”.

I fixed it for you.

Sorry guys, most of our newfangled digital cameras work just fine without a mirror to focus, so steveo is going to continue showing up unless you start wearing garlic necklaces to these photo shoots.

You forgot to post the forum name of the kitten. Sunyata can’t award Social Butterfly points without it. With Bob Cannon in attendance, a puppy would have been more appropriate.

That’s why I went with a kitten. I want to promote inclusivity, and Bob’s got the puppies covered.

Conversation before taking picture:

Steve O: “Hey everybody, make sure to act disinterested as I take a picture.”

Check over on the Team 14 thread for a bunch of photos from today’s gatherings and ride.
Do each of the stops count as a separate butterfly?

Anyway, infiltrating at Cafe Amouri (pic 1): wheels&wings, rockford10, Bob James, Judd Lumberjack, komorebi, chuxtr, f148vr, Sarah Bee, CBGAnimal, dachs6, Fast Friendly Guy, Steve O and one unidentified person.

We were the ultimate infiltrators … infiltrating our own event … sneaky bastards!

Oh my goodness. That was confusing! But this is the epitome of what the Social Butterfly/Infiltrator is supposed to be. So bravo to Team 14 for making it happen and everyone else for playing along.

So, I counted four “other” events (Amouri, Green Lizard, Duck Doughnuts, and Astro Doughnuts) since it was technically not a ride and not really a coffee club or happy hour. But I only counted the first one as an event that can be infiltrated (yes, even though there were only three Team 14 members listed, it was such an impressive showing that I felt it had to count… I made the rules, I can change them!). 😎

There were five Team 14 members present and accounted for at Caffe Amouri. L-to-R in pic: f148vr, vicegrip, bykgrl, chuxtr, cm7gh.

Middle rider is actually rockford10, the cool half of the d-rock team.

My bad. I get so confused between forum names, Strava names, and real names. It would be so much easier if we used people’s real names!!!

The unidentified person with her back to the camera in pic 1 is reji, who was also at the Green Lizard. She’s infiltrating from Team 9.
