    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:

    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!

    Jenn – Do you see this is a U-Haul Van from Ontario (w/the zoom photo)?

    Will you count this?
    Correct, it’s not a license plate, but I think it meets the spirit of the game (find a really rare gem on the road)
    How?
    1. It’s a van
    2. It’s from Ontario
    3. It’s even a much rarer find than a van w/ON plates
    —- ON has ~9M registered vehicles
    —- Vans are ~4% of passenger vehicles (in general) …so ~400k ON vans on the road
    —- <150k U-hauls on the road (all sizes)
    —- Assuming U-haul vehicles promote each 50 states + 10 provinces equally, there are only ~2.5k ON U-hauls on the road

    Consider it counted!!!

    After a lack of Ontario plates in my travels, I’ll throw in the towel and invoke Rule #5.

    ALERT Vehicle ABC game date extended to March 19. All submissions must be in by midnight. We have winners but keep looking to get your prizes if you have not finished.

    New rule for V – any van and any Canada license plate (doesn’t have to be on the van)

    I don’t know about you but when biking alone I really enjoy having things to find.
