    Okay… Freezing Saddles has started and due to the logistics of getting the teams set up, I totally failed on the details of my pointless prizes. Whoops.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]13057[/ATTACH]

    So, here is how you go about joining in on the Sock Game pointless prize competition:

    Step 1: Wear awesomely cool socks (on your feet) while riding your bike (outside) so that the world can see that you have great sock game.
    Step 2: Take a photo of you wearing your awesome socks (on your feet) with your bike in the picture (outside).*
    Step 3: Post that photo in one of two places:
    a) On Instagram. Please use the following hashtag (if it is not hashtagged properly, it will not be judged since I am lazy and will only look at photos using the hashtag search function): #BAFS2017SockGame
    b) Here on this thread if you are a non-instagraming participant.

    See, how simple is that?!

    Now… How do you actually WIN?

    I will silently judge you. Well, more specifically, I will silently judge your sock game. I will pick my top ten favourites and then post them for the forum to pick their favourite. The owner of those socks, or at least the person who was wearing the socks for that particular photo, will win another amazingly fun pair of socks**. Probably from BlueQ because their socks are the funnest.

    *Bonus points awarded if the photo can also be used for wheels&wings’ “The Warming Climate” prize.
    **The winner will need to kindly let me know their sock size and if they have aversion to strongly worded sayings on socks… 😎

    I did a short pre-game ride today, sporting a lot of my fan gear for my team, The Green Bay Packers. Featured are my TWO new pairs of Packer socks, the knee highs are perfect for Freezing Saddles rides! No matter how many times I rotate the images, the post puts them here sideways! I give up. The Cheesehead footie socks can be layered for really cold days, or slipped on after a ride. Note my post-ride slippers in the photos. Added bonus, me in my jersey trying on my Cheesehead on top of my helmet. e

    WHOO HOO, way to go, Green Bay!!!

    These are my new PRIDE SOCKS. I bought a pair for each of my kids too…. I figure with the new administration coming in we hafta make sure the LGBTQ community feels supported.

    Multi-tasking, Freezing Saddles style. The only way this could be even better is if you were going for the “warming climate” prize, too! ;)
