Hi I’m Jeff. Been doing this Freezing Saddles thing since year 0, although I was a slacker one year when that was allowed. I ride mostly out of northern Prince George’s county and eastern DC, and I particularly enjoy group rides that involve food. Nice to meet you!
My main winter riding goal is to not crash.
My team captain moralizing admonishments are:
o FS is “won” by consistency and more than courage, and,
o getting out for a half dozen miles a day to pick up those bonus points tends to be more important than hero rides.That said, I like to pretty much ride everywhere, any time of day and in any weather, so… I need to remind myself to stay healthy rather than do something dumb!
On weekends, we do small group rides out of my wife’s bike shop in College Park. She does a 9am 25-30 mile medium pace road ride on Saturdays; I do an 11am 10-12 mile easy pastry ride. On Sundays if the weather’s dry we do a #FS2020DirtyBiker ride at Fairland at 9am. If the trails are too wet for the Sunday mountain bike ride — which is often the case in winter– I’ll usually do a coffee ride or a longer excursion down the ART instead. The shop’s ride calendar is at https://www.proteusbicycles.com/about/rides-events-pg185.htm
It’s funnest to ride in groups, so, if you’re OK with company, please use this thread to post your ride plans and encourage teammates to join in!
Bonus dog pics, which the forum software insists on sidewaysing but that’s kind of a good look too:
