ParticipantI am more excited about the World’s CX this weekend.

Frankly, I think if they wanted to make a killer ride, they’d do a “Hills of Northeast” ride…IME, with a few exceptions, the hills in NE are way more grueling…although I guess the views aren’t quite as good.
Actually they miss some of the killer hills in Anacostia. I plan to talk with the organizers about some diversion to less traffic but just as if not more challenging grades. Examples:

Should I take off the studded tires?
Yes. I did the plus part backwards this morning on my CX bike and would have been fine on my road bike.
I will be bringing my road bike Saturday.

BTW, 30yrs old, 6’1″ and lanky….
Too young for the nutritionist, however, maybe not my new neighbor.
Also, how about the Bicycle Space Valentine Day’s ride?

Is that a Lovecraft or Harry Potter reference?

ParticipantThis thread has really drifted on topics, covering everything from Eric’s Tinder Profile, fooling with when you do upload rides, what is a sandbagger, using things like Digital EPO, …
Makes me really wish I had spelled discussions in the title correctly.

Or maybe Freezing Saddles gets you hooked on Strava (or, at least, recording rides). It’s happened to me, and it’s a real danger.
BAFS 2014 helped increase the problem and 2015 has continued the bad trend. My Premium Account expires March 17th and it will not be renewed. I will still use Strava once in a while, but not for every commute, sashay to the store, etc. I will only miss being able to download GPX of other people’s rides.

Sorry, no setting up our ringer until 21 March. His team captain forbids it.
Oh it will be benefit to your team, the woman I have in mind is a nutritionist and very fit. She is a marathon runner with a decent bike and rides like most runners I know. All freaking out for about twenty miles and then collapses.

I don’t even know how to cheat properly
One strategy, not necessarily cheating, is to find single guys or girls racking up too many points and fix them up. Eric Williams’ ride titled something like “I can only do these double centuries because I don’t have a girlfriend” gave me that idea.
Eric hold old are you by the way?

Raymo, maybe you should get Census IT to classify freezingsaddles.com as porn like NOAA did. Therefore you won’t be able to do as much obsessing at work. .
It is funny, Strava is periodically blocked here at Census and then quickly unblocked. I suspect there is some Strava nut on some sort of web security review board who unblocks it.

…until BAFS2016?
I will not be taking part. Made a promise last night to my fiancee who had to wait in the car while I sleazed last night.
Participant@jopamora 106674 wrote:
hmmm, maybe we should mark all our rides private until the March 20th
I think that also makes them private form the BAFS system. Might be cool as all your points would show up at once and you could jump to the top with no warning.
ParticipantI ended up purchasing both of the inserts the original poster asked about. The German made ones with wool and Al look fantastic. I am going to put those into my good shoes soon. I suspect they will be wonderful and between them and shoe covers my need to use chemical heaters will be eliminated for days above freezing. (I do have really warm feet)
The cheaper Japanese ones also look good, especially since the package contained four inserts and the art on the package is cute. I put a pair in my winter shoes (Shimano MW81) and expect they will make them a little warmer. My first ride will be tonight. I’ll report back.

OK w/ me – I think Rule 9 Velo made a double-secret FB club for members only
Yes I saw that discussion. Thought for a moment about how to see that. That was the insanity that triggered my question.
ParticipantCool. I almost wish it was not possible to look at the other riders and such. I spend way too much time looking at Strava and http://freezingsaddles.com/ Which is why the day the contest ends on Friday March 20th will be my last Strava ride.
