Freezing Saddles Side Game – What day is it?? (#nationalday)

[Steve O]

I got inspired by National Pie Day on January 23 and hereby offer this Freezing Saddles side game.

The National Day calendar lists several different things to celebrate or honor on each day of the month. On that day, do something or celebrate one of those things and involve your bicycle.

For instance, on National Pie Day I provided pie to everyone who came to WTF Coffee Club. All of us could claim a celebratory point, since we rode our bikes to eat pie.
Today (Jan 30) is National Croissant Day. Not hard to figure out a bike-related way to celebrate. You get the idea.

All of the days will appear on the Freezing Saddles calendar. If you don’t already have the Google calendar integrated into your daily calendar, you can find the calendar on the Freezing Saddles home page by scrolling down. I will also post them here on this thread.

Rules:

• The game runs Feb 1 through Feb 29.
• Your activity must occur on the actual day of celebration. This is honor system, although linking and hashtagging your Strava ride will be good documentation (#nationalday)
• Take a photo that documents your celebration of the National Day involving your bike. Include an entertaining description if you like and post it here.
• Both individual and team points will be awarded. If you celebrate with one or more other members of your team, be sure to note that to earn extra points.
• Only one celebration per day per person. Many days celebrate or honor more than one thing. Choose.
• National Days only. No International Days, even though Feb. 5 is World Nutella Day. Sorry.

Game starts in about 36 hours. Get ready!

Mon 2/17. Cabbage and Presidents Day.

I took this picture and I had just farted (just thinking of cabbage)! I also think that the driver of this tractor used to be a President!

I think I nailed it.

A quite excellent palm tree.

There are several options to celebrate National Day on Feb 18 but there really was no contest. Everyone at CCCC this morning got to celebrate National Drink Wine Day!

National Battery Day

I think the only thing I use batteries for anymore is the TV remote and my mouse. I guess I should test these out to see if they’re still any good.

In honor of Presidents’ Day I drew a couple of Presidents by bike. A young Jefferson or JFK and a not so young Trump. I think we can agree that they are all fun to draw!

To celebrate both drink wine and battery national day on Feb 18, I picked up one of those wines in a can to try while charging a light.

Feb 19 is National Chocolate Mint Day so I brought some chocolate mint (a winning flavor!) M&Ms to coffee club to share!

Thank you reji for the mint chocolate M&M’s this monring! I’m sure the sugary candy I ate for breakfast had nothing to do with my (only slightly belated) observance of National Toothache Day

I enjoyed these mint chocolates while riding my bike.

This is the reason why I ride my bike so much. I always enjoy an ice cream cone of one of these after dinner each night.

And which one is better, you may ask. The Harris Teeter brand by far. I’m so lucky to have a store across the street!!

I can’t believe I’ve never had one of these!!

[bikedavid]

Incredibly I could not find any pie let alone cherry pie at my Harris Teeter. I think they were doing some maintenance and packed up all the pies. Instead I settled for a lemon poppy muffin for muffin national day on Feb 20.

On Feb 21 I bought our cat, Marbles, a new toy on National Love Your Pet Day. I think fxbooks appreciated it more than Marbles did.
