You might want to provide instructions for how to enter here, with a link for each step. As far as I can make out, to enter you need to:

• Register for Strava.
• Fill out the application form. (Deadline is December 24 Midnight.)
• Register for this forum.
• Authorize the BikeArlington Freezing Saddles app on Strava.
• Join the BikeArlington club on Strava.

Bonus link:

Here is the leaderboard.

I’ve picked up each of these from a different place, and it actually took me quite some time even to find the links for where I did these things again. And apparently I’m not the only one who is confused, as others have for example signed up for the app and not the club on Strava. Any chance of getting one comprehensive list?

I’m Carol C., and I’ve now followed the link to join the BikeArlington club.

I must say, the process so far has been cumbersome. I’ve had to join this forum, join Strava, authorize BikeArlington Freezing Saddles as an app on Strava, and join the BikeArlington club on Strava. And the only way I’ve gotten this far is to subscribe to the forum, which means I get notified of a whole lot of posts in which I have no interest in order to get notices of the posts which tell me what I need to do to enter. Would there be some way to have a topic to which only administrators could post, that could include a set of instructions for what to do to enter, so that people could just follow that topic instead of following every post on this forum? @hozn 72150 wrote:

Birddog, I’m not sure who you are in freezing saddles / strava. If you don’t see your name at all, maybe try re-authorizing the application: http://freezingsaddles.com/authorize

On the result page of the authorization, the app will tell you if there are any errors (like if you are not a member of any competition teams).

I notice the following people do not appear to be members of BikeArlington club:
– Carol C
– robert s

If you are one of those people, then please just double check that you have “joined” the bikearlington club: http://www.strava.com/clubs/bikearlington

I emailed dasgeh seperately, but it sounds she also may simply need to re-authorize. (There was a time early on when there were some bugs on initial authorization for certain accounts; that could explain both cases.)

I still don’t have a team, although I assume I’ll be assigned to one eventually. But I did give access to my data.
