We need a category for us SW desert folks. When we're used to training at 110 degrees, riding in the morning when it's in the 40's is brutal!

Yay! I was just thinking about this last week when I ran in Butte, MT at 28 degrees and snowing. Glad you're doing it again! I'm in!

I'm in. I wish this started now. Our weather here over the next few days is supposed to be pretty ugly, and I have several runs to get in.

Todd I wish I felt your pain but I look forward to 40's come January   We are always looking for updates from warm climates just to make us mad and jealous throughout the winter so stop by anytime!



Yeah, I didn't figure we'd get any sympathy You all are tough to get out there and ride in the really cold. Brrr!!!

I'm in.  Is there a trainer multiplier?  A couple of hours with a hamster wheel is a lot of suckage.  I'll even put it outside if that helps!

Sorry your wheels need to be moving on pavement/cement for this to count.

 

Me - "But honey, I need to buy a new cross bike so I can take part in the BT Crappy Winter Weather Challenge!"

My wife - "Then you can sleep outside with your new bike, right?"

we dont get snow...but it gets cold...and I ride, run and even swim outdoors year round....can I play????

Sure you can.  I would have to figure something out for swimming points - what is the normal water temp and then the winter water temp.

Polar Bear is for close to freezing water - sub 35.

Snow is not required - cold is the main factor.  Snow & Rain just get you more points!

welll I can pretty much guarantee that it is more then 35 or Im not even near it!!!! snow and ice! is this the penguin/arctic bear challenge??? haha

I'm in!! Had a nasty horrid no good ride yesterday in 30F with wind AND snow. Ugh. Had I been able to accrue crappy points it may have made it a little more bearable.

Bill.......I have a question for this years challenge. I know we take into account temp and wind and precipitation BUT we use actual temps.....not the windchill values. Wondered why this is? I mean if you are out there and it is 5c but the windchill value is -5C then what you are actually enduring is an ambient temp of -5c. More sucky. Way more sucky. 

Just a thought.......she says wanting to accrue as many points as possible, knowing her wind chill temps will KICK AZZ!!!

I'm considering a marthon in April. I think I'll have to join in the fun.

OK.........so I may not accrue as many points as I previously thought. My knee is not good........waiting on a scope. Not sure if I will be running anytime soon....... 

But I will hang out and play anyhow. I do ride outside in the winter...........so there is that at least.
