@Kbikeva, no it’s not. We always have some random people show up on Strava who just like to join Strava clubs, but who have no interest in Freezing Saddles. They don’t do any harm because a) they won’t be assigned to a team if they haven’t registered, and b) they won’t even be listed as “Friends” if they haven’t authorized Freezing Saddles to read their Strava miles. The actual number of registrants can be seen at https://freezingsaddles.info.
