Hey everyone! I did BAFS for the first team two years ago in 2018 and it was awesome. I ride my bike(s) a lot more now, and I’ve met a bunch of people.

If you’re new to the forums, you can get your required first post here, so you don’t need to open up a new thread. If you’re not new, still feel free to let people know a bit about you (if you’d like).

Hi, I gave up my car as of October 1 and have been only biking and taking Metro/bus (and occasionally Uber/Lyft) since then. I just bought a Class 1 (no throttle) “Vale Go!” e-bike, “Pearl the Electric Bike” on Instagram , and I would love to participate in Freezing Saddles!

Joining blazing saddles to bike more in the winter months. I am more of a runner than a cyclist.

Looking forward to racking up the miles on my new touring bike!

Thanks for an obvious place to post. This will be my first year. Looking forward to it!

Another newbie to Freezing Saddles! I bike everyday to work but my resilience to the cold has taken a dent this year so looking forward to being challenged by my fellow dedicated bikers.

Hey everyone, started riding this summer and heard about the BAFS through the Reston Bike Club. Out in Leesburg and looking forward to riding a lot of chilly gravel this winter

Hi all, first time FS competitor, long time bike rider. Excited to stay motivated with biking in the winter with this competition!

Looking for motivation in winter (and just don’t like riding a trainer)…

Hi everyone, my name is Adam. I’ve been riding three years and happy to have found a group / forum for riders in the area. Generally since a week commuter and weekend rider and always looking to ride more.

Thanks,

Adam

Hi, I’m Shannon…
Ride bike on Sligo Creek in the cold to work so might as well make it count this year Freezing Saddles!

Coworker mentioned how stressful bafs was, so I thought I’d give it a go. Looking forward to raising my winter mileage.
