2/20/21 – Overhead Picture from “Such Great Heights” (+1 point for including biker)

Feeling lucky I found someone on a bike relatively quick. Rode up to the top of the Ballston parking garage, and spotted this guy heading my way in the photo.

02/20/21 – Overhead picture from “Such Great Heights”
… or the 4th floor of the Holiday Inn where I started and ended my #decasleaze ride, along a River so never really attained high ground, today. All the bridges I crossed today were either over water or 6-lane motor highways, and no one crazy enough to be out Cycling except for yours truly. However my bike is in the back of a rental car circled in the pic, but you can’t see it, so I cannot count the +1 pointless point [emoji1787]

While not born in NJ I spent my formative years there and use my NJ driving skills to great advantage when I return (NJ driving with out-of-state plates is the best). I’d ask you to get KBikeVA to attest that I am not among ever worse, aggressive JRZ drivers! You’re just picking on us before we go to the Maul.

Ha! We should go for an aggressive driving challenge sometime, as I was born, weened and licensed in JRZ … now if I only still owned a car [emoji594][emoji1787]
Oh, and I must asked: did you come of age in the land of pork roll or Taylor’s Ham?

2/20/21 – Overhead Picture

Cyclists turned down the path just as I was turning away. Snapped a quick photo before they disappeared into the tunnel (phew!)

Couldn’t get to a bridge today… but this photo is from a hill overlooking a frozen pond in the Cabin Branch community in Clarksburg, MD. No cyclists in sight, but there was a red car.

2/21/21 – the round Peace symbol or the word “peace” (in any language)

British designer and artist Gerald Holtom introduced the peace symbol to an anti-nuclear pacifist organization on February 21, 1958. It represents the letters “N” and “D” (in semaphore) for “Nuclear Disarmament”.

On your ride, find the peace symbol (not the Mercedes logo!) or the word “peace”, which can be in any language.

Happy hunting!

The parking lot of Cardozo High School has a great skyline view of DC. Apparently a popular make out spot too!

I don’t see other folks’ strava routes – just responding to her posting, “From my balcony” … if I had that view and today’s wind that we had, I would have thought twice about going out. Alas, I had to go out and discover there were no other cyclists out when I was.

Yeah but she hasn’t missed a day on her bike since [emoji848]~ 2012-13?

Nice and simple!

Primary architect was David Linquist. This sculpture was made less than a decade after the symbol was created!

Paz means peace in Spanish and this Plaza was dedicated to it!!

2/21 – Peace

Peace sign as part on long-enduring anti-nuclear vigil/protest outside the White House, pushed to H Street because of the extended security perimeter.

Since the Peace Memorial at the Capitol is now barricaded, I headed to the other end of the Mall to visit the Institute of Peace
