2/6/21 – Coldstone Creamery in Crystal City, Arlington, VA. I was going to buy some, but didn’t have enough cash on me. Their smallest item was $$.

That looks like a cup of pecans. Is there butter underneath to make it Butter Pecan?

That is vanilla topped with pecans.

2/6/21 – Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt

Weirdly enough, this year the 6th of February – one of the coldest months in the US – is both National Frozen Yogurt Day and Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day.

On your ride, capture ice cream or frozen yogurt: it can be the thing, a storefront, or a sign. If one of the two last options, it should have the words “Ice Cream” or “Frozen Yogurt”.

If you want 2 points (total), make your photo a selfie holding the ice cream or frozen yogurt. If you don’t want to doxx yourself, cover your face up with your mask/gaiter/buff.

Happy hunting!

Pic below is a real jersey for the kids’ segment of the local DC-Area mountain bike club (MORE).

If you want to see the jersey in action or just feel warmer, here’s a vid I made a couple of years ago at one of our summer picnics. It has at least a handful of Bike Arlington regulars. See if you can find any https://vimeo.com/343114786

Here is my selfie holding ice cream for 2 points 2/6/21

It’s a place called Class 520, on the College Park University of Maryland campus. They pour the unfrozen ice cream onto a large cold plate, mix it, and then peel it up to make the rolls. It tastes about the same, but the first one I had, for instance, was lychee, and was delicious with chunks of fruit in it.

I think Petals at hunters woods serves rolled ice cream.

2/7/21 – Superb Owl (or a few alternatives)

Apparently tomorrow is the day of the Superb Owl. Finding an owl in the wild – whether it be real, fake, or art – will net you 2 points. This hunt doesn’t include the word, we’ll actually need the bird likeness. Capture it on your phone and post here in the forum.

I realize that owls may be elusive, so I have the following alternatives, but you have to include your bike in the picture if you are going this route. Also, these will only get you 1 point total for the day:

• The store America’s Best Contacts and Glasses
• A store that has “candy” on its sign or in its name. The word “candy” has to be in the pic
• If all else fails, the word “owl”. It can be inside of another word, e.g., “knowledgeablenesses”

Happy hunting!

Apparently, I am better at finding owls than at knowing it’s Superb Owl Day without a reminder from the forum.

2/7/2021 — owl. There’s a house on Columbus St. whose residents have a fondness for bird-themed yard art:

Temple University has (at least) two different owl statues on their campus — no surprise, considering that the owl is their symbol.

I’m a sucker for realism, so I chose this one. The other one’s viewable on my Strava.

Took advantage of a few alternatives to capture a new candy store – Rocket Fizz. Rocket Fizz is located just off Quaker Lane in the Fairlington Shopping Center.

The Rooster & Owl on 14th Street has plenty of owls in its window art.

I’m glad I didn’t have to sink to cycling past Hooters
