EDITED 1/29/25 – After 1 group ride, I realized I made the rules waaaay too difficult, so I’m simplifying this game as much as I can.
- If you join a Freezing Saddles Group ride, just tag your ride with #groupridegroupie. (Scoreboard)
- If you organize a Freezing Saddles Group ride and let people know about it at least the day before, tag the ride in Strava with #grouprideguru. (Scoreboard)
- If you want to go for the #GroupRideGiganticus prize, please post a pic in this thread with as many people in the pic as you can. You don’t have to be the one to have taken the pic, but it should be posted here before the end of 2025 Freezing Saddles. At the end of Freezing Saddles, I’ll just count the people in your pic and the ride leader who has the pic with the most riders wins #GroupRideGiganticus 🙂
Thank you to those that already played and put pics in this thread. It’s no longer necessary because we’ll be using the scoreboards for this, but it is great to see folks getting out there to meet others for the group rides. Feel free to continue doing so if you’d like, but please remember to tag those group rides appropriately in Strava!

EDITED 1/10/25 – Changed it from 5 people to 3 people minimum, so that means at least 2 riders and the organizer have to be on the ride (and pictured) for it to count.*****************************************************************
I love Freezing Saddles group rides, so to encourage them, I’m setting up the #GroupRideGuru and #GroupRideGroupie Pointless Prize.
What are they?
#GroupRideGuru The person that organizes and leads the most amount of Freezing Saddles group rides
#GroupRideGroupie The person that joins the most group rides
So what group rides count for this pointless prize?
- It has to be organized and led by a Freezing Saddles rider
- The group ride has to be open and accessible to all Freezing Saddles participants
- The ride has to be posted in the Freezing Saddles section of this forum at least
48 hoursthe day before the ride happens - The ride has to be at least 10 miles long
- At least
53 people (including yourself) have to be on the ride (EDITED 1/10/25 to change from 5 people to 3 minimum)
How do I prove that I led or joined a group ride? (SEE EDIT ON 1/29 AT THE TOP OF THIS THREAD)
Each ride participant that wants credit will need to post 1 (and only one) picture from the ride in this thread, along with some text:Lead with: #GroupRideGuru if you organized and led the ride OR #GroupRideGroupie if you joined the rideThe date of the ride
The picture must have at least 5 3 participants in it. Include yourself by taking a selfie/ussie if you need to meet that minimum, but you don’t have to be in it if there are at least 5 3 participants already in the picA different picture than what’s already posted in the thread (to avoid 5 3 people on the ride posting the same pic). That said, you don’t have to be the person that took the picDo this within 48 hours of the ride (to avoid last-minute swoop-ins and to keep things moving)
Keep in mind that this prize is tallied by the pics that you post in this thread, not by hashtags, or just joining the rides. You have to post that group ride pic here for it to count in this pointless prize! 🙂Scoreboard: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R5hvQjjFoTcY2mpvUN7IDUj4y5vwtYTmzmZU_CHXXWUFAQS:
- Do all the riders have to be Freezing Saddles participants?
- Nope. Just follow the rules above and it’ll count.
- Does it have to be a Freezing Saddles group ride?
- Yup. The point of this prize is to bring together Freeing Saddles participants, so just joining a random non-FS ride doesn’t follow the spirit.
