official 2017-2018 biyf thread

#5 - It's an MTB forum, the whole point is to incenticize(?) people to be outside and push the limits you're comfortable being in.

All of the above, plus add a Florida category so I can play with myself

You need a category for that? Shouldn't you just stay in your room and not share?

 

[rlb]

Would be nice if Strava gave you the option to keep trainer rides off of the leader board. Any self-reporting options are tough but we should be able to handle it as a group. I say 3 or 5.

I can't figure out how to turn off the hyperlink for Mike!!! .su is the TLD for the soviet union. Can't make this stuff up! (i could just take the . out...nah)

'Michael.su doesn't work?

4 or 5 - let @rlb @thegock @Mountain Bike Mike vote on it with majority ruling

I thought that's what you were doing down there already?

5.
if you cant make a Strava account for outdoor rides only because your OCD requires a single master account for all pedaling activities to get some kind of medal or kudos then you truly need to kick your own ass.

 

[Victor I]

This is BIYF, not Zwift in your face. I have nothing else to say on the matter.

 

[Glenn Rides After 4 PM CST]

Outside or it doesn't count.

5

I vote 5. The rules were crystal clear when people signed on for the challenge.

 

[Hot Action]

Make Outside Riding Great Again

 

[Magic]

Who cares. Riding is riding to me. I'd go for #5. If all the trainer queens complain, #6 until @rlb comes out of retirement with last years format. I liked people posting their rides with a photo and a description, but it definitely is more work.

Aint nobody got time for that (right now).



Maybe next year? Maybe by then I can figure out how to scrape strava for what we need. Besides, the torch belongs to @fidodie for as long as he wants to hold it!

 

[jmanic]

I'd vote for 2-5.
I don't begrudge training rides, especially those folks that actually do them effectively, but it's got no place in a winter contest.
It's just not in the spirit of the thing.
Stay true to our founding fathers.

I play with myself

Fixed.

Option 5. I think people would rather see scenic pictures of bikes from rides versus pictures of bikes in trainers.

Also, it means I can keep my wife's bike in the trainer exclusively as, as we only have 1 trainer.

 

[Steve Vai]

Fish aren't meant to be in a box, it does something to ya kid - Finding Nemo.

 

[jackx]

I am finally on the board with a snow ride today. Still lots of powder on the trails.

I took some photos along the way.

Option 5.

If those who ride Zwift/Sufferfest/inside need the "kudos"/post their rides, at least make them private at the end of the week when numbers are checked.
