I have a question. When I find more than one public artwork on one ride, they do not count as one entry, do they?
Thanks for your answer!
Hi Serdar, you certainly are racking up the public art work! The easiest way for me to keep track is if you post one piece per Strava ride logged, as then the #publicartfinder leaderboard does the tally for us. Otherwise the leaderboard becomes meaningless, and my level of effort to tally manually by trolling this thread increases exponentially. The exception to this are the bonus point opportunities, for which I must troll, and tally manually. So the more that you use Strava posts for your individual finds by riding at least a mile — the easier the scoring will be via the #publicartfinder leaderboard. I do recognize that this then implies that you would have to ride to Blagden Alley or Barracks Row a gazillion times in order to record all of the murals there on the #publicartfinder leaderboard. But maybe that would be motivation to ride every day?
Thank you for asking, as you are not the only one who posts multiple art pieces per ride.Sent from Boomer_Cycles via my iPhone using Tapatalk on

To add to this, Serdar, I feel your pain. If I make the effort to take a long ride to a target-rich art environment, I want to post every one of them for points! But I just try to take a photo of each and when I get home I try to figure out which one I liked best or feel most like sharing and call that my “official” entry. I guess if one wants to stop and start the ride again for each piece (as long as there’s a mile riding in between them), it would work to post multiples and the leaderboard would ‘catch’ them. But it’s Boomer’s game and up to him as to how he feels about that. In the end, the joy is in the riding and seeing a new neighborhood of artworks because the prizes are, in fact, pointless.
Community by Anne Marchand. This is a colorful mural by Westminster playground tucked away near the corner of 9th and T St. It’s supposed to depict the pride the pride and achievements of Shaw from the late 1800’s to present with Ella Fitzgerald singing from the rooftop in the top right and a person on a big wheel bike in the bottom left.

It also occurred to me that one could use the Strava Split my ride tool to adjust for multiple finds per ride, but you would need to attribute at least a mile segment to each find in order to qualify (and hopefully still be in close proximity to where the Art object is actually located so that someone else could follow your tracks and find it, since the objective here is to share art finds;-)

The unity mural in Adams Morgan. This is one of the older murals in DC and was painted as a youth project. At the time it was painted there was an influx of Latinos and this mural tried to capture all the different groups in the neighborhood. I like the Aztec dragon in the middle.
The window drawing on Busboys and Poets at the corner of 14th and V St. There were a lot of window drawings that came out of BLM last year and I thought this one was pretty neat with the colors and patterns.
