    I’m happy to head this up again this year.

    Last year we used the Wordle game to generate the daily hunt objectives. If you participated and have strong feelings about disliking it, please (kindly) share that with me along with any ideas on how to make it better.

    All of us who have run this contest can tell you that posting the search topic is the easy part of the contest. Deciding on the winning photo is the hard part. It’s often so subjective. So if you’ve been frustrated in past years and want to help provide a different perspective, please send me an email to Westenhoff at Gmail and we can figure out how to divide and inspire. Note: if you are a judge, you can participate, but you cannot compete.

    Looking forward to searching alongside all of you!

    3/5/25 – SCRUM

    This scooter left smack dab in the middle of the bike lane, right in front of Arlington’s central library, mighta caused quite a SCRUM* – so I moved it up to the sidewalk [* using the British definition: a place or situation of confusion and racket;
    hubbub.]

    3/5 – I bet SCRUMs happen a lot at these training camps:

    SCRUM – track intervals? Greenbelt Races?

    Not a term I’ve yet heard applied to running intervals or peloton races in criteriums, but I think we COULD apply the term. It can be sports and workplace related and either chaotic, tight, struggling groups or more strictly planned according to time and distance.

    A training race like Greenbelt definitely can feel on the chaotic side at times and other times very smooth and well-planned, perhaps with the higher category racers or runners.

    From now on I’m going to ask fellow riders and runners if they’d like to go out for a little scrum or fartlek!

    From some internet definition:

    * Scrum teams use events like sprint planning, daily scrum, sprint review, and sprint retrospectives o

    I’d kinda like to tie those people up in the middle of the bike lane like Snidely Whiplash. 😈

    Alert! Drivers need to be alert for geese crossing the road. Pedestrians are on their own.

    #scavhunt 3/6 – The big ALERT today is the Gale/High Wind Warning (well, duh!).  These flags in Arlington Forest show just how windy it was and provide another type of ALERT

    3/6 – Alert

    Even in protected bike lanes, you have to be on alert for morons parking in it. Seconds before, he had his cargo spread across the lane

    3/6/2025 ALERT

    When I ride down this hill and make a sharp turn into this tunnel underneath South Lakes Dr in Reston, I need to be ALERT in order to avoid running into pedestrians or other cyclists who might be coming out of it!

    ALERT

    I got this ALERT and another about wind, on my Garmin, twice on tonight’s ride. Once at the beginning and another about 4 miles from home, thus I chose to ride WITH the wind to BRANCH AVENUE and then home from FORT TOTTEN. When you’re very tired, a tailwind is nice!
