Pointless Prize 2024 – #Flag

[bigredboiler]

@AlanA – glad you hear you are enjoying the game.  I’m enjoying seeing and learning so many flags from everyone (and the occasional crazy back story :).  I just hope all the daily players are reading forum to see my update.  p.s. I did check the DC weather to see that it is looking good for the final few days.  Unfortunately, not the same for me with a couple FEET of snow today.  Luckily, I did ride everyday my first winter in Denver (a few sleaze rides required)…..this year I’m fine letting my FS team down with a few days off when not practical 🙂

flag – 3/15/2024 – Third from the right, “PRACTICE RADICAL EMPATHY.”  Second one from this location on 22nd St N in Highland Park,  Opps, forgot the 10 mile rule and I ended up with only 9.7 miles on the day.  🙁

In not sure what this is a flag of, but I don’t think I’ve shared one of these before.

@nadine, that looks like an Alabama state flag.

IMPORTANT UPDATE — TIEBREAKER — NEW RULE for March 16-17 ONLY

For one day (rider’s choice) – either Sat or Sun, March 16-17, you can get as many flags as you see on your ride.

Details:

• You can only do this one day (your choice; either Sat or Sun).
• You only need to post one flag to forum.  Tell me how many flags you are claiming though.
• I will check your Strava to verify.
• I will add all valid flags to your total in the Google tracker spreadsheet.
• Same rules as always…needs to be a “real” flag
  • Basically at least 3’x5′ rectangle…can be other shaped sometimes
  • Generally on a pole (my discretion  for other mounts)
  • The goal is making sure it’s a “real” flag (not a banner, tiny yard sign, etc.)

Hit me up with any questions.  I’ll try to keep monitoring the forum.

I had ridden by this flag several times, but it was always blowing in a way that I dismissed it, thinking it was either an American flag or Texas flag, both of which I had already used. Today, as I battled the wind outbound, it revealed it itself in all its glory, and gave me a moment to catch my breath and get a beautiful photo.

@bigredboiler, for the tie breaker, are we still limited to three flags from any one place?
