Freezing Saddles: Winter Bike Challenge (sign up open)

[Amalitza]

Hopefully both the top 10 sandbaggers in both percentage and mileage terms will be posted. I want to earn all the snide comments that I will be receiving.

Apolgies for the format, I can't quite figure out how to copy and paste a table from either word or excel and have it still look like a table in the post. But the respective numbers after each person's name are, in order, their final score, their weekly handicap, their actual weekly average points, the point difference between the two, and their percentage with respect to handicap. Hopefully not too confusing.

By percentage of handicap

Trish Newberg: 1782 50 158 108 316%
Justin Antos: 3178 125 282 157 225%
Kathy Lewis: 2073 90 184 94 204%
Mark Williams: 2653 120 235 115 196%
Peter Kong 2099 95 186 91 196%
Karen Smith 1951 90 173 83 192%
Joe Birkenstock 644 30 57 27 190%
Christopher N. 2763 130 245 115 188%
Lena Varuolo: 2550 120 226 106 188%
Steve Claeys 2113 100 187 87 187%

I don't know if I am happy or sad that my name didn't show up on the sandbagger list. There is always next year!

Perhaps a little too hipster-riche for some of the BAFS riders, but I thought this little essay on winter riders characterized our BAFS efforts quite nicely:

And yes, I did see Bikesnob's teardown of Seabiscuit's 47x17 video and I expect this'll get the same treatment here

That's it. I'm shaving.

Ah....I believe you are referring to the "Sniffling Saddles" competition that runs from today through May 30. Or perhaps the "Searing Saddles" competition that takes us from June 1 through August 31.

Yes! Let's do it! (as long as someone else can organize it, that is...)

Um, so this ended a month ago. So, why haven't my miles gone down!! Bob what did you do to me?!!

I just want to clarify that the Badass Banditos #BAFS2013 team was in no way affiliated with or related to the Banditos Motorcycle Club. That is all.

This was SO MUCH FUN!

Thanks to everybody for all your hard work with websites and planning and stuff, and for riding in the freezing cold and luring unsuspecting folks... err... SUPPORTING your fellow riders in their insanity... um... endeavors!

The amount of awesomeness and knowledge and encouragement and just gosh darn ol' plain niceness and sharing on this forum is really amazing. I am proud to know you all.

Y'all rock like a bunch of rock stars with rocks on their shoes with a side of rock sauce.

Team FourCuatroPho 4 LYFE!
