Hi everyone, this is Caroline. This will be my second year doing BAFS… First year was 2018, so it’s been a bit. Newly returned from Texas/ India, glad to be back.

Ball of Destiny Rescued a month after hiding…
Does it qualify as a Calvinball?

It was christened so late in play, as a feat of sorcery by mftansill. Here it is, lightly dusted in a layer of pollen:

In other news, great blankets of cherry blossoms around. [ATTACH=CONFIG]17802[/ATTACH]

One Ninja Frozemon found dangling from the bridge a south of Shortcake. It threw splinters at me to protect its friend… The Frozemon at Artemisia may have been found by Muggles…

Two more Hiker/Biker Frozemon found playing on the bridge near the Trolley Trail/Paint Branch juncture

And lastly, the limerick:
Ready for the horde hunting doughnuts
Two cyclists stashed sockgame with some guts
Perhaps a Doughneur
or wise Coffeeneur
Will dig through the ivy somewhat

Two Nerdist Frozemon caught researching the undead

A bearded and a ninja at the Eco City Farms bike stop conspired to attack my camera. Sadly, no evidence of their capture remains.

The Volpe outsmarted two additional Frozemon at Lupolodge

This Thirsty was caught inside the gazebo north just south of Home Despot, but one more eluded my grasp. For now.

Fire-type Frozemon finally appears on the warmest day so far. That must be why I missed him the first time![ATTACH=CONFIG]17080[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]17081[/ATTACH]

Today has been a day for Frozemon sightings!

Alert! A frozemon has been sighted where the Phoenix Ball was hidden today.
Alert! Another nerdist or two has been sighted checking out books – this time off the Trolley Trail.
Alert! A Frozemon has been spotted in the Hyattsville Rain Garden! (Note: Do not trample any plants in your search – I hide with a regard to cultivated landscape.)
Alert! A Frozemon has been spotted learning about water fowl at Lake Artemesia!
Alert! A frozemon has been spotted at the extraordinarily large instruments in Hyattsville near Vigilante.

And here’s a little incentive for those seekers of nerdists:

I captured 7 from local “libraries”. Sneaky, some aren’t findable via LFL registries!

Hi everyone,

My name is Caroline. I live in College Park and commute around PG county (by bicycle when it’s safe!). I generally ride my bike every day, and like to go out for longer rides when I have the time. This is my first year officially doing BAFS. I was a frequent interloper on several group rides last year.

I finished up my dissertation at UMD in May, and am continuing my teaching gigs while riding the collegiate job search limbo bus.

I am up for weekend expeditions, and occasional longer rides in the week, schedule depending.

For some reason, I keep thinking of Flaming Dirigibles. Not that a dirigible has anything to do with biking.
But Cyclepaths has a nice ring to it. Perhaps Flaming Cyclepaths OR Team 6: The Cyclepaths?

Looking forward to group rides- perhaps something over MLK weekend?

Caroline

I plan on attending…!
