Good to meet some of you last night. Maybe we can get a team ride scheduled soon so the rest of us can say hello.

Sorry I missed meeting you last night. Hopefully soon on a team ride.

Hello Team 15! Sorry I couldn’t make HH last night. I’m Jon Levine and I’m looking forward to meeting you all, and for some Freezing Saddles fun this winter! Although I will not complain if we have an unseasonably warm winter. 😎

Hi Jon. Today was indeed unseasonably warm and tomorrow will be too. I am definitely not complaining. So nice to be riding in short and jersey and no balaclava.

[Bob James]

Get well soon.

Well, dang! Except for going to the opening happy hour, I’m pretty sure my score will be the lowest possible!
I despise coffee (but I do love my Diet Mt. Dew), and I prefer as little interaction with other humans as possible. (Sorry…It’s been a rough year with the election and stuff that I prefer to avoid people if I can).
I know. I’m not the type of people you are looking for, but I like to ride by bike (assuming it’s dry).

Oh yeah. And I don’t like waking up at 4:30 am to do dumb bike stuff!!

And yet your becoming a forum social butterfly making multiple posts. That is a start. And you ride with one or more people often. I wouldn’t ride often at 4:30am-ish either if I wasn’t doing it on a trail. Biking in rush hour in the dark and rain is not the best way to make it to the next BAFS social event.

[Bob James]

I already had one BAFS social event coffee club. Sadly does not count yet since before Jan 10th. Could incentive to go and enjoy coffee and fellowship with my FS friends again…and again.

[Bob James]

I can’t make it tonight, but I’ll be riding down to HP tomorrow when it is warm, sunny and low wind. Perfect start to FS. Have a great time to all who truly kick off FS at midnight.

[Bob James]

I don’t know how effective bells would be against demons, but it may help warding off ninja walkers, runners and bikers on the trails.

Further update: Look for custom neon-green reflective zipper pulls, coming to an FS event near you in 2017.

I’ll wear it regardless, but does a zipper pull flap around in the wind? Sorry to ask such a dumb question, but I don’t usually wear high-end bicycling accessories.

[Bob James]

I’ll be there, party of one. Thanks for organizing.

[Bob James]

The Strava club link has an adequately cold looking picture, but I can’t tell if there are bike saddles under the ice.

Well, I may not have won any toilet paper. But this competition and Freezing Saddles have clearly had an impact on my biking over the last five years. Here are the statistics on miles biked in September for each of the last five years:

2012 117.66
2013 134.70
2014 186.71
2015 238.62
2016 500.50

It was odd that the two people accused of point fraud (Phil Webber and K K M) both won the diamond prize bikes. In any case, I also would have preferred the more practical gold prize of a year worth of TP.

Carol, very nice increase for September riding. Especially since we had I think the hottest September and then the last few days were the wettest.

[Bob James]

666 seems to be a recurring number withing the All-Stars. Judd just had a ride end with 666 as the ride elevation.
