Erin just clocked in with an evening ride — Whoo Hoo! I just not-quite-sleazed 2.3 miles, so we’re back in 6th.

Take that, pr1m3s… 10 Below is next!

Go [REDACTED]!

Excellent…wasn’t sure if it showed up or not.

I got a new balaclava (way cool), but my glasses keep fogging up. Any suggestions on how to help that, please? Thanks!

Legos are good.

Howdy to my fellow Team 5 members. I live near the East Falls Church Metro station in North Arlington, commute most days to Capitol Hill, and try to get rides in on the weekends. I am most flexible on the weekends for meeting up but can sometimes make week nights work. For our team name, my mind keeps going to a pirate theme, something like Team Dread Pirate Black Heart, striking fear in the competition. We could also wear eye patches and other pirate gear at any Freezing Saddles events. Argh!!!!

Anyhow, please let me know if you have any problems with your rides showing up on Strava or the Freezing Saddles website. Also, the key to Freezing Saddles is to ride as many days as you can regardless of distance. The rider who does a few miles almost every day will will beat the rider who just does a century every weekend.

I’m Erin, and was at the Happy Hour last Friday. I was so pleased to meet you! Love the Pirate theme concept.

Here is a quick Point question, please: so if I ride 10 miles in the morning, I’ll get 10 points plus mileage points. Now suppose I ride again 5 miles in the evening. Will I get another 10 points or just mileage points, please?

Thanks,
Erin

Hello!

I’m a newbie to FS and a relative newbie to this area (6 months).

I don’t commute to work, but love to ride. My plan is to run lots of errands during the week and do my big rides on weekends.

Do we meet on Jan 1, please? How do we find out about our teams, please?

Thanks!

Happy Cycling!

Hi again!

Where are the “initial meeting” locations, please? I know that one is on Dec 14, one is on Dec 21, and the last is on Jan 1.

But I can’t remember where or when, please.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

You don’t need to be on the slacker team because you are not top mileage or top speed or top anything else. Teams are intended to be a mix of high and low mileage riders. The slacker team, otoh, is for those of us who want to participate in the social aspect of the game but do NOT want to compete on a team. We are the non-team. If you want to non-compete on a non-team, racking up low, high or in-between miles in the process, come join us! If you want to be a part of an actual team, join an actual team and don’t worry that you aren’t a top mileage rider.

Ok…good to know

Then I will join a real team
Thank you
