I’m open to prize related suggestions here?

maybe a pacifier, a rattle, or some other baby related gear?

(no insult to babies meant. most of the ones I know are pretty badass.)

1) Trainer on stage sounds perfect
2) Slackers should have Zwift miles count triple. Slacking because of injury, family obligations, things like that – acceptable. Slacking because of cold – antithetical to the competition.

Indoor riding prize should be based on “anti-freeze points” where indoor miles count more the higher is the outdoor temperature, and don’t count at all if it is below freezing: 33 to 40 = 1 point per indoor mile; 41 to 50 = 2 points per indoor mile; 51 to 60 = 5 points per indoor mile; and 61 or higher = 10 points per indoor mile.

Leave it the BAFS forum to make things way too complicated:)!

This is way too nice to trainer miles.

How has the honor amongst thieves (stealing outdoor miles) been with regards to freezing saddles miles? Has it been tough to keep those trainer miles off the boards? They Zwiftiest Rider should have to work the bar, or be forced to clean up after everything is said and done!

Good point Brett. I think I’ve seen some indoor trainer rides without the #NOBAFS” tag to ensure they are excluded.

What if we ride the turbo because 3×12 or 2×20 sweet spot efforts are basically impossible to do outside? I will be riding the shit out of my trainer this winter and I have no shame about doing so.

No what if, that’s fine. You just may even win a prize for it!

I’m not going to debate the reasons why trainers are good or bad. Just the fact that you signed up for an OUTDOOR WINTER RIDING CONTEST AND YOU ARE RIDING A TRAINER INSIDE YOUR HOUSE WHILE YOUR TEAMMATES ARE OUTSIDE GETTING IT IN! That’s all

Or he’s riding inside while his teammates are sitting inside. And still logging more miles outside than many of his teammates.

Only about a quarter of bafs participants actually ride outside everyday, and even fewer than that log serious miles.

And the prize for completely missing the point is

BTW on my team, even tho Dread says my miles dont count, I am currently ranked #2

If my miles were to count, I would be ranked about 100 on the leaderboard.

Its just not fair!!

I’m not a BAFS participant (am an alum though) nor am I on the slackers team now that I have an awesome smart trainer setup in the middle of my living room, in front of the big screen TV and huge window with access to biking videos from around the world. I now laugh at snow, sleet, cold, darkness and kamikaze squirrels.

All that said…I do greatly desire a rubber chicken for reasons that even *I* cannot discern. I want the chicken dammit!
