The 2026 January BIYF

stb222 said:
In lieu of a winter long thing, I will run a January and likely a February, shorter, BIYF contest. So here it is:

Post your rides in January within a couple days of them happening:
  • Each ride gets 1 point per hour, strava/garmin/map my ride or similar link required. I will round to 0.01 of an hour, no minimum.
  • A picture with your ride gets 1 point, images of your ride stats, or zwift picture doesnt count. Multiple pictures is cool but no extra points. Picture point is one per day.
  • A few words are encouraged, in general only exceptional writing contributions may be awarded a point.
  • Yes, indoor rides are included, I guess, but if y’all go all indoor you will be relegated to some aptly named category.
  • Maybe challenges will return this year, so check in frequently to keep up.
There will be some kind of winner and some sort of prize, let’s motivate each other to get out there this month!

between the show shoveling and the long endurance ride I did over the weekend needed a rest day yesterday. feel much better today.

Back to some indoor rides for this week with the roads being icy in spots and the trails not rideable (for non fatbike owners at least).

Found a new Netflix series to watch so that makes the time go faster when doing basic workouts like this.

Single Dingle
Single digit temps, maybe zero, maybe below zero. This pushes the boundaries of my gloves even with picking up Sturmfist 3's late last year. Wore them with a thin merino liner and was pretty good other than my right thumb; body and feet no issues. Did a bit of low hanger clearing and then did a lap. 1/4 of the loop wasn't packed much 5/8 of it was descent and the other 1/8 was meh or hike a bike. Looks like one more morning before Thursday's 40's turn the track to ice and then Snowmageddon this weekend.
