I like License to Chill!

This is my 4th Freezing Saddles. While cycling saved my sanity during the pandemic and is my preferred form of exercise, my miles really dropped off in 2023 (it was a bit of a crazy year). I’m using this FS as my time to reset and rebuild my stamina. I’m aiming for consistent riding rather than long miles (though I’ll take those opportunities too). Have a couple of work trips that may keep me from riding every day, but I’ll do my best.

Here’s my bingo card: https://bingobaker.com/#6590aa2d458381e8. I’m looking forward to playing this year. Missed the instructions last year.

So…I know I registered very late. The last few weeks really got away from me. I know I probably won’t get on a team and that’s okay. I have a big work commitment in January that could keep me off my bike for about a week so it is probably better I don’t bring down a team. Just want to do this to challenge myself to get out there again this year.

I’ve just joined so that I can participate in Freezing Saddles this year. Looking for something to nudge me out there on my bike during the winter.

I was a pre-pandemic recreational biker, having acquired my hybrid in Sept 2019 with a goal of using it for fitness and ultimately for once or twice weekly commutes to the office. I rode weekends through November in 2019 and then hibernated for the winter was just getting started again when the pandemic sent us into lockdown and my bike became the thing that kept me sane during after long work from home days.

Now that the days are shorter and temps colder I’m struggling with getting out there. As a native Floridian winter is not my favorite season. Hoping the pressure of contributing to my team for freezing saddles will help motivate me.
