    Pointless Prize: Vehicle ABCs
    Rules:
    1. Find and photograph the below ABC vehicles WHILE on a bike ride. Some are easy to find and others will not be.

    2. Bike does not have to be in the photo, but please only submit photos of vehicles found on a bike ride.. Be safe!!! Photos do not have to be in your Strava feed but more people know how to use Strava. Use HASHTAG #abc in your Strava Ride Title to appear on the FS2023 #abc leaderboard. I will try to keep track here:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DrZ93VMgxUtp69obUF9P8sBxnKOcHDqolE5Ohq1awWY/edit?usp=sharing

    3. Post to the forum (directly or through Tapatalk–hope you are better at that than I am). Photos [low resolution please] must be posted in order A-Z (so that means if you find a Kia on day 1 of your search, it behooves you to wait and post it after you find the vehicles for “A” through “J”

    4. Posts must have the photos labeled with the correct letter(s) in order. You may post all 26 at once in order or post in order over time (one or several at a time). Only one photograph allowed per letter. [low resolution please]

    Examples to clarify #3 rule: Cannot post “B” vehicle before “A” vehicle is found or you won’t be able to post A. If you post the letter J vehicle but did not post a G, H, and I, you cannot go back (ie incentive to wait to post until you find all letters).

    5. CREATIVITY POINTS will be used to break any ties. Here is how to get an extra point or more. You may find the 4+ wheel vehicle (sometimes you will be offered options) OR you may photograph a non-4+-wheel vehicle for a particular letter entry. For example, you see a Hot Air Balloon and prefer to submit that over the “A” is for Ambulance entry. You may do that instead of the Ambulance, but you cannot post that photo for more than one letter (have to find something else for the H and B entries). In other words, get creative but do not post a photo of a different car, SUV, van, truck than that listed.

    Game is over on Saturday, March 11. All posts to the forum must be by Saturday, March 11 at 11:59 pm.

    PRIZES: the car of your choice!

    If you have questions, private message me bikingjenn or Jennifer [emoji155]Weiss [emoji155]on Strava

    A Ambulance (okay, most of these do not have 4 wheels)

    [mention]Boomer2U [/mention] I want to declare you the WINNER because that V replacement vehicle is amazing but there’s a slight technicality that makes it not qualify for Rule #5 which says the alternate vehicle needs to be a “non-4+ wheel vehicle” Hmmm. May have to put this up to the Committee…

    My bad on not following Rule 5 deets … but ain’t the Van from Beyond the Thunderdome one of the coolest finds yet on this #abc thread?!:-0

    Anyway, if allowed, let me sub another Rule 5 for V … “Velocity” a bicycle [co op] with wings!

    Hi all #abc players. First, thank you for playing. Just because [mention]Boomer2U [/mention] wins 1st place, the game is not over. Congratulations Boomer!!! I have surprises for all (just like kids’ soccer trophies). The top three of course will get the luxury vehicles. Keep playing. And yes, the Beyond the Thunderdome Vehicle is unrivaled. Never have I ever…so far, the rest of you are still in the game [mention]AlanA [/mention] [mention]DCAKen [/mention] [mention]LGRides [/mention] [mention]bigredboiler [/mention] [mention]steveo [/mention] [mention]HokieBeth [/mention] [mention]Nadine [/mention][mention]karenbikes2 [/mention] [mention]Serdar [/mention]

    Keep hunting for fun cars–the Van with Ontario plates seems to be the diamond in the rough…

    [mention]bigredboiler [/mention] there was no rule regarding when to invoke rule#5 but of course if you hold out and find the Ontario Van, your patience will be rewarded! [mention]Boomer2U [/mention] is a bit of an overachiever [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji12][emoji2960]

    I will slowly keep plodding along looking for what I need until you tell us to call it quits. I’m not quite as good as other players. I can only deal with one or two cars at a time and don’t look for the rest until I find the next one.

    It’s a moving van. Note the front is a van chassis.
    Did you read the side of the van? Peterborough, Ontario.
