*Freezing Saddles last year was great. Kudos to all who made it happen. I’ve really enjoyed interacting with people I met on Strava all year.
*I liked the 10 points per ride, 1 point per mile – that way, teammates can contribute points without having to put in big mileage. It encourages you to get out and ride every day, to make riding part of your daily life.
*I like the idea of slightly bigger teams.
*If Strava isn’t an option, it’d be great to run it using or some backend where we can share maps. I LOVED seeing the maps of everyone’s rides, it was totally inspirational.
*As a winner of the “Pants on Fire” prize last year, I’d say: base the handicap in reality as much as possible, but don’t penalize people for riding more than their normal. Deliberately low-balling the handicap isn’t in the spirit of things, but riding more is the fun of the game!
*Looking forward to it this year! Although my mileage won’t be as crazy this year with a 6-month old
.Do I spy Consularrider? Good riding with you, even as we looped back around to hit Delaware

Special thanks to everyone who helped me on Independence Ave today when a piece (metal arm connecting to my frame) of my bike rack decided to break and the whole thing fell backwards. A quick MacGyvering with a BikeArlington leg strap and bungie cord (I will pass it on to someone I help on the trail), and I was able to continue.
Ha! That was me and DSalovesh on Independence! The bungie cord has also helped me carry corn on the cob many times. Give to the next person who needs it, for good bike karma
. Glad to hear the rest of the ride went well!Good grief, people ride this stretch at 27 mph? You’d miss all the scenery!
Edit: and then I realize they are doing a slightly different kind of riding than me.
