Freezing Saddles: Winter Bike Challenge
Never Give an ELITE Cyclists an Even Break
Freezing Saddles! The Epic Adventure of a band of ELITE Cyclists, facing the challenges of the wild wild wild bike paths. Confronting the darkest of evenings, the coldest of mornings, and the stupidest of Ninja's - these brave cyclists challenge each other because, if they didnt, they might have to actually do some work during the day.
The saga runs January 1 until the last day of Winter, March 20. It will conclude with a March Madness Playoff that someone will probably design. There will be a Happy Hour at the end with many pointless trophies.
Tribes (teams):
Scoring: Riders will receive 10 points for each day and 1 point for each mile ridden. Minimum ride is 1 mile. The tribe's score will be the sum of the tribe members.
Backend: STRAVA (please sign up for an account, and join the "Bike Arlington" club on STRAVA - you should be able to enter data manually or automatically. Additional information will be posted here on the forum.)
This is a self organized group activity based on consensus. No one is in charge or running this thing. Participation is voluntary and entirely at your own risk.
Be Brave. Be Bold. Be.... questful! In the words of Hedley Lamarr:

Tribes (teams):
- Composed of ~5 riders or less
- For riders from the #bikedc, Washington DC Bike Forum general community (Washington DC greater metropolitan area)
- Volunteer Captains (captains will address any data problems, negotiate or cause confusion, and provide motivational seminars);
- This is a ten-gallon hat tournament. Riders will be randomly assigned to tribes based on self declared average weekly mileage and days cycled. Tribes will be created so that each tribes's average weekly point score is roughly equal to everyone else's. To achieve this, tribes may be composed of differing numbers of riders.
- No late sign ups.
- Interested cyclists must sign up by December 25 Midnight - Tribes will be announced within a couple days.
Scoring: Riders will receive 10 points for each day and 1 point for each mile ridden. Minimum ride is 1 mile. The tribe's score will be the sum of the tribe members.

Men, you are about to embark on a great crusade to stamp out runaway decency on the bike paths. Now you men will only be risking your lives, whilst I will be risking an almost certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
