I’m looking into this ride as well. Would be great to ride with the both of you. From what I’ve seen, there is at least one stream crossing so expect to get wet!

David, at what mile of the 40-mile route is the stream?

Good to know about stream crossing. I’ve never done that.

Thank you for joining, David. We’ll have fun!

Hi Serdar–I registered for the 40 mile route, I haven’t done it before and I’ll probably be slow, hopefully see you there!

Shira, I will be happy to ride with you because good company is more important. I registered, and I have not done this ride before, either. Hopefully, more people will join.

Thanks!

Freezing Saddlers,

I apologize for my mistakes. First, AlanA reminded me of the rules, and then bikesnick sent a private message. They are both right. According to the rules, the participation prize winner is the cyclist who posted the most photos. But one photo per day is a limit except for bonus prizes. Thus Carol is the winner. Carol posted 78 photos/days plus two for bonus points. I hope I got this right this time.

1st place: Carol – 80 photos
2nd place: glenn ☀️ √glenn – 78 photos
3rd place: Chris Watson – 75 photos

Congratulations to Carol!

I will update my post about the winners.

I certainly don’t want to take my name off a winners list, but what about bikesnick (who I think is glen glen) with 78 days of finding a picture? Or is it based on miles?

AlanA, thanks for reminding of this line of rules.
“The top rider(s) (based on the number of rides, not mileage!!) will get a special prize at the end of Freezing Saddles!”

This, the winner of the participation prize is glenn ☀️ √glenn who rode every single day of Freezing Saddles and posted photos for every day. Congratulations, glenn ☀️ √glenn! I am sorry for my mistake.

AlanA, thanks for being modest and honest!

Time to announce the winners of the final two days.

for 3/18/23 action, emotion, and engagement in one photo – We have three winners on this day. They are:

cvcalhoun for a close-up shot of two dogs looking curiously at each other
CBGanimal for a photo of fellow cyclists happily cheering up for their friend
bikingjenn‘s road photo is just great composition, with the motion of the car, the warm lights inside and colorful lights on the roof with a letter missing a nice contrast to the dark night. Just a really nice shot, so that might be my choice for the day.

for 3/19/23 action, emotion, engagement, and a bike in one photo – We have two winners
Mtansill for a photo of two friends happily cycling together
cvcalhoun for a photo of emotional Freesing Saddlers passing by her

Thus, the winners of the main prize are Kbikeva – 1st place, cvcalhoun – 2nd place, and Mtansill – 3rd place.

And the winners of the participation prize are Carol – 1st place, glenn ☀️ √glenn – 2nd place, and Chris Watson – 3rd place.

Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone who played.
