They argue and squabble about everything?

The prize will be awarded to an individual who embodies the spirit of Freezing Saddles by encouraging others and doing things that help build a stronger Freezing Saddles and bike riding community. Tell me about the cheerleaders on your team. Some examples I can think of from past years:

Ian Fingerman introducing me to other participants and pulling me into conversations the first year I played.
Kate’s constant promotion of doughneuring.
Sunyata’s introduction of Social Butterflying, Infiltrating and Sock Game.
Komorebi preventing me from quitting Freezing Saddles last year after a mental breakdown.
LSG dropping off a goodie bag during my other mental breakdown during last year’s Freezing Saddles.
Ricky D showing up to like every group ride last year.
Eric Williams going on 150 mile rides in 20 degree weather.

Tell me about a team member that has somehow inspired you, motivated you, helped you or done something awesome for our community.

Judd,

I love this prize. However, reading your post, I wonder how many “mental breakdowns” may have been related to HP laps. Kudos!

Both of them happened on the backside of Hains Point, so 100% of them. If the road was closer to the water, my bike probably would have gone over the fence into the Potomac at one point.

Judd – I love your FS and bicycling spirit! And…. I’m not always good at balancing/knowing when to pull back. But I think if you are ever feeling unhappy or breakdowny enough to consider pulling out of FS, that’s a red flag. Winning the hamster award is cool, but having you in FS is cooler.

I didn’t know about your breakdown last FS… but I’m sorry to hear about it, and very glad you got talked into staying. I think if you ever start thinking that way again hoy should cut back or lead a group ride instead (your prez day ride last Feb was awesome) I’d whatever you hafta do so you get happy playing again. I love FS – and it wouldn’t be the game without you.
