Don’t they both use chemical reactions to create forward motion? :confused:

Well, given that Serdar was there when the photo was taken, and did not insist that we all take separate selfies, I will hope he will waive Rule 8 for this one. But I’ll leave it to him to determine whether we all need to untag that ride.

1/24/23 – team pix!

Well, I’m the lone Virginia rider on my team, so the only person from the team I could get in my pic is ME!

1/25/23 – opposite day

I rode the Arlington loop counterclockwise, so that I was going uphill on the Rosslyn hill. Most ppl I know like it better clockwise cuz they think it’s easier. Tbh I prefer the “reverse” loop cuz I think the slow climb up the false flat of the w&od is a slog…… I prefer flying down it….. and struggling up the Rosslyn hill is fine cuz you can SEE why it’s hard. (Course my perspective might have something to do with the fact that I live right by the intersection of the Custis & w&od trails [emoji16][emoji1744])

I was also wearing red from head to toe and riding a bike with lime green accents (opposite colors) and wearing my toe covers inside my sandals, which is the opposite of where they’re intended to be worn….. But we’re only allowed one pic here so you’ll hafta go to my Strava feed to see the others [emoji16][emoji1744]

If I were running the game and had noticed I probably wouldn’t have said anything. But Serdar is probably nicer than me. [emoji16]

Ha ha. That’s creative, but the selfie was not made on the ride. Sorry, Jenn.

it was made when i walked in the door from my ride, so the question is, “where does a ride begin and end?” whoa, deep!

1/18/23 National Winnie the Pooh Day

Little did I know, but I apparently live near Pooh’s Hundred Acre Woods!

Complete with The Poohsticks Bridge, A Floody Place, The Six Pine Trees, and a Grassy Knoll.

The actual location is called Horsepen Run – a private nature preserve in Countryside, VA.

Great photos and text, but … Only one pic/day should be posted in the Forum. Please only pad by adding one pic/day. (You can include as many photos as possible on your Strava ride.)

Ride ends when you walk

[bikingjenn]

Counterpoint: Some definitely walk during the ride…if one takes a photo in a bar, at coffee club, for PP requiring pic of bike in the photo. (please note: argument in jest, just for fun)1

Thank you, Mtansill. I try to be nice, but a rule is a rule. JoM is the winner of the main prize as she took that photo. ALClayville and cvcalhoun take participation prizes. No need to untag those rides.
