Frigid Bitch Alleycat 2019 – A Fierce Ride & A Personal Victory!

Some races test endurance. Others test strategy. And then there’s the Frigid Bitch Alleycat—a race that throws everything at you, from freezing temps to urban obstacles, making every rider fight for every checkpoint and every mile.

This was my 5th time competing in this legendary series, now in its 6th annual edition, and as always—it did not disappoint.

🔥 Frigid Bitch Series Recap – A History of Chasing Checkpoints

📌 #FrigidBitch2015: My first race! 📅Date: Feb 14, 2015 ❄️Weather: -15°F, "Poler Vortex", snow-covered streets 🏁 Results: 5 riders, 5 checkpoints, 20 miles, 2 hours, 2nd place finish

📌 #FrigidBitch2016: Second race. 📅Date: Feb 13, 2016 ❄️Weather: colder temps, brutal winds 🏁 Results: 41 racers, 4 checkpoints, 16.28 miles, 2.5 hours, placed middle of the pack

📌 #FrigidBitch2017: Third race. 📅Date: Feb 11, 2017 aka Birthday race! 🔥 Weather: warmest race year 🏁 Results: 82 racers, 4 checkpoints, my longest ride yet (26.23 miles), 3 hours, placed somewhere between 43-58

📌 #FrigidBitch2018: Fourth race. 🚴‍♂️ Healthy Ride PGH Unicorn Bike aka Moana! 📅Date: Feb 17, 2018 ❄️🔥 Weather: "Not the coldest, not the warmest and not the longest." 🏁 Results: 106 racers, 3-4 checkpoints, 13.32 miles, 2.5 hours, placed 81st  

📌 #FrigidBitch2019: Fifth race. 📅Date: Feb 16, 2019 ❄️Weather: 27-34°F 🏁 Results: 118 racers, 6 checkpoints, 17.78 miles, 2 hours, placed 49th in the 'Open' and 2nd in the subcategory of "Out of Town!"

💡 Each year the race evolves—bigger crowds, harder routes, crazier conditions!

🚀 Race Day Breakdown – The Ride, The Checkpoints & The Finish

📌 Morning Conditions: 27-34°F, sunny with morning flurries, but clear by race time 📌 Start Location: Threadbare Cider & Mead (new venue!) 📌 Checkpoint Strategy: ✅ Hit distant checkpoints first, then race back toward home base ✅ Rolled out toward South Side—first checkpoint: Hot Metal Bridge

📌 Total Distance Covered: 17.78 miles 📌 Total Race Time: 2:02:22

🔥 Hit my 6th checkpoint with just SIX MINUTES before closing—cutting it close but securing a strong finish!

💡 Finished 49th in the Open Category—plus landed 2nd in "Out of Town!" subcategory (traveled in from Virginia!).

🏆 Race Prizes, Post-Ride & Recovery

✅ Three prize tables—minimum 5 prizes per rider hitting at least 1 checkpoint! ✅ Podium riders got extra passes through the prize tables! ✅ Post-race food = MAC & CHEESE, pizza, veg + gluten-free options ✅ Celebratory drinks at Spring Hill Brewing for the afterparty!

💡 This race was a perfect mix of endurance, navigation, and strategy—I’ll be back for #FrigidBitch2020!

🚀 Reflections – The Ride, The Strategy & Looking Ahead

✅ Racing smart vs. racing fast—the checkpoint strategy paid off ✅ Could I push even further next year? More checkpoints, faster return! ✅ Urban racing chaos + freezing temps = an unbeatable challenge

💡 This race reminded me why I love competitive riding—the thrill, the strategy, the hustle.

🔥 Looking Ahead – More Alleycat Races & Faster Finishes

✅ Dialing in next year’s strategy—can I hit all 9 checkpoints? ✅ Training harder for speed efficiency in open-course formats ✅ Continuing endurance work with more bike tours & group rides

💡 Every race builds experience—next year, I’m coming back stronger!

11 photos from Halloween any lawyer will appreciate

Tort law pumpkins and Gargoyles on Doughty Street

Image via Instagram: (@nikkimccain)

Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for: the perfect chance to stock up on family-size packs of Haribo, struggle to fish novelty contact lenses out of your eyes and sift through questionable Facebook photos of your friends in Hugh Hefner/Playboy bunny costumes.

Some lawyers love it, UCL senior lecturer Steven Vaughan stating this morning:

In my teaching today I shall mainly be singing songs from 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' … #everyonehailtothepumpkinthrone

— Dr Steven Vaughan (@lawvaughan) October 31, 2017

Others, like Hardwicke barrister PJ Kirby QC, don’t:

Tomorrow is Halloween. I hate It. Celebrating & trivialising evil ain’t my idea of fun or worth sending kids on street for. Rant over.

— PJ Kirby QC (@kirby_pj) October 30, 2017

Whatever your stance, Legal Cheek has been doing some Halloween-inspired social media digging and has found a plethora of law-themed costumes and decorations we don’t think you’ll be unable to resist raising a smile at. Here are 11 of the best:

1. Tort law pumpkin

Any student that’s had to navigate the weird world of oil-leaking vessels and cricket balls being hit out of grounds will know studying tort law can be pretty scary. So why not channel this into your pumpkin carving?

2. Gargoyles and ghouls on Doughty Street

We’re happy to see one Halloween-happy resident got into the spirit of things, creatively decorating the street best known among lawyers for housing its namesake chambers.

I love this house on #doughtystreet. It goes bonkers every year for #Halloween pic.twitter.com/HRxo9fXejB

3. Elle Woods

This Legally Blonde icon is popular among law students, so why not bend and snap your way through this spooky holiday?

4. The Hunting Act

Passed in 2004, this piece of legislation banned hunting unless it is categorised as exempt (Schedule 1).

Halloween costume = the Hunting Act

5. Ruth Ginsburg

We were hard pushed to find any UK Supreme Court justice costumes this year, but party-goers paying homage to Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) judge Ruth Ginsburg were all over the show.

You can’t spell truth without Ruth….and if you don’t know, now you know . . . #caiaivy #2yearsold #halloween2017 #halloween #notoriousrbg #ruthbaderginsburg #ruthbabyginsburg #rbg #youcantspelltruthwithoutruth #supremecourt #primaryhalloweenparade #idissent @californiadonuts @primarydotcom @notoriousrbg @spreadshirt #thefutureisfemale #realsuperhero #notorious #dissentispatriotic #dissentcollar #diy #diycostume

6. Ruth Vader Ginsburg

Why not?

Thank you to whoever added Ruth Vader Ginsburg to the costume database. I got to wear a cape and carry a light saber and fight for justice. pic.twitter.com/EKIw7CBPF4

7. Injury lawyer

Mobile phone, wig and tie in place, this personal injury specialist is here to help with your pumpkin punch-induced trips and getting tangled in fake cobwebs slips.

8. Judges galore

If one sassy SCOTUS judge wasn’t enough for you, here’s a bunch of them.

10. Judge Judy

We think this Twitter user captured TV star and family law specialist Judith Sheindlin perfectly.

Judge Judy is here. I can’t wait to ask people what their names are tonight and simply yell “Baloney!” at them. #halloween pic.twitter.com/nyAK2OmAx5

Hey y'all! Welcome back to the show! This week, we take a trip to the east coast, specifically the New England area of the states, and enter a world we were not prepared for. But, being blonde and smart is a combination that no one was ready for either. Elle Woods makes her way to Harvard Law to win back the man of her dreams - or so she thinks. Along the way, Elle makes new friends, evolves from the sorority queen into a blonde law bombshell, and puts everyone in their place. Misty had been dreading this movie but Erin and I got her to finally give this movie a shot that is much smarter than it appears. With that said, sit back, relax, and enjoy our cross country trip from sunny Los Angeles to sad, beige, Cambridge Massachusetts Also, a huge shoutout to my girl @jesskayian for helping with this totally amazing art ❤️ #thesorrynotsorrygenerationpodcast #thesorrynotsorrygeneration #tsnsgen #moviereview #reviewpodcast #millennialpodcast #bymillennialsformillennials #millennialmemories #whatlikeitshard #idontneedbackups #imgoingtoharvard #bendandsnap #bruiserwoods #ellewoods #geminivegitarians #harvardlaw #whileyouwereintheshower #iobject #losangeles #cambridge #massachusetts #harvardlaw #frigidbitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CoKnFcsLyWK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

is it cool to ask for unconditional love from someone without the whole having to return the feelings thing? bc that would be excellent
