I love taking photos, and having a goal usually ups the fun factor, so I’m doing a daily photo scavenger hunt.

Every night, I’ll post something you have to take a picture of the next day (along with the date). I’ll try my best to post before midnight.

It might be an object (a stop sign), a theme (something blue), specific (e.g., a bike laying on the ground), vague (e.g., confusion), a mish-mash of those, or none of those.

Rules:

1. Obvs, you should be a participant in Freezing Saddles ’21
2. It has to be on a bike ride on the day it was requested
3. It has to be posted on the day for which it was requested, i.e., 12:01 AM EST to 11:59 PM EST for the day it was requested. Sorry, I won’t count ones that aren’t posted for the day it was requested. That’s part of the challenge
4. The reason I say “for the day it is requested” is because I might do requests a few days ahead of time, but don’t take and/or post the pic until that day comes.
5. It has to be posted here on the forum in this thread
6. There should be text either in the title or in the post with the date and the found object/theme. Another option is to “Reply With Quote” the post with the request, i.e., simply click that button on the bottom right of my request so it is quoted above your picture
7. Description, short backstory or location are optional (but nice). That said, if your pic is abstract or not obviously relatable to my request, please explain (e.g., I ask for “happiness”, and you post a pic of a tennis ball you found on a ride, please explain how that tennis ball = happiness)
8. It has to be a picture you took, so if you’re in it, it either has to be a selfie or done with a self-timer
9. Only one pic/day. Please don’t pad by adding more than one pic/day
10. It has to be a picture, not a video
11. Let’s stick to things you find out there during your ride, and not things that you bring or make yourself (unless otherwise specified). Example 1: if I say find “2021”, don’t scratch it into dirt. Example 2: if I say find a flower, don’t bring a flower with you on your ride and take a pic of that. This kinda takes the fun out of looking for things, which is the whole point. (Rule added on 1/2/21)
12. Unless specified otherwise, your bike does not have to be in the photo. (Rule amended on 1/4/21)
13. Found item needs to be clear and discernible (or legible if text) in the picture. If you are using Tapatalk and are having trouble posting pics that are large enough, let us know and I/we can try to help you with it. (Rule added on 1/3/21)
14. Filters are OK, but no obvious/blatant photoshopping… not that I know anything about such things

Scoring: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kgsAzaLIXN-IJMjscyNnQTNvWEp__VzgGBSkJDYrTfs/edit?usp=sharing

1. If you follow all the rules above, it’s 1 point/picture. I’ll like your pic if I have added the point to the tally sheet.
2. If I feel like you haven’t met all the rules, I’ll give you .25 points for the effort (Added on 1/11/21)
3. I’ll keep a tally with your forum name. I may reach out to you via the forum’s messaging, or ask you to reach out to me in a post in this thread.
4. EDIT ON 3/17/21: THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN ANYMORE -> At the end of FS, every like in each of your pic posts = +1 point. I’ll add these up at the end
   So for example, your pic has met all the conditions at the top, and has 3 likes. That will add 4 points (1 for the pic +3 for the likes) to your pot.

Notes:

1. Prizes TBD
2. Contest starts 1/1/21 and goes until the last day of FS ’21
3. Some of these will be hard. Fret not, some will be easy, so skip those days that are too difficult
4. Don’t ever ever ever ever do anything that can put you in danger or will result in hurting yourself. I promise I won’t ask for any pics of you riding on the Beltway
5. I might post pics, but mine don’t count in the contest

Wearing this mask at the Pie Sisters in Georgetown, which flavor do you think I’ll get?

I always assumed 3/14 was National Pie Day, but I was off by one letter. That’s Pi Day, but in 1976, a school teacher in Boulder, CO declared his birthday on January 23 to be Pie day, and the rest is history.

On your ride, seek and photograph pie, then if you’d like, share with the rest of us where you can get this deliciousness

1/23/21 – Acme Pie Co., 2803 Columbia Pike, near Walter Reed Drive, Arlington, VA

One of my FAVORITE places! Plus, they’ve been having soup and pie specials too. Yummy!

Just imagine if he did that to a bike — hauling all that extra coinage uphill! Yikes!

I know! Here’s a side view. He’s got Happy Meal toys on the top.

Today is my mother’s birthday so it was an appropriate chance to get pie or Tarta as they call it in Spanish! It is a strawberry mousse pie. And by the way “pie” in Spanish means foot and so my google search turned up a lot of shoe stores!!!

Enjoying a mini banana cream pie from Pie Sisters in Georgetown. Every year they always sell out of pies for Pi Day but apparently not for Pie Day!

Because I’m taking this very seriously We went to Tysons II that galleria where once I dined in dark boothes with strangers, but today was a quick carry out and yes, I ate the whole Key Lime pie! Riding buddy Kbikeva said she could smell the lime through the mask. Now there is good pie!

1/23 Pie day

I went to Pure Pasty in Vienna to pick up a couple of pasties. A pasty is a savoury meat and/or vegetable pie and they originated from Cornwall England. These pasties are declicious and filling. I usually have a couple in my freezer… they are the perfect meal when you get home later after a looooong ride!
