@bikingjenn, can you find any serial numbers or markings and figure out who sold it?

You could also take it to a phone company store and see if they could pull the SIM card to find the owner.

On my last FS ride I found the ultimate street treat by someone’s garbage pile. I had a Burley tow hitch on my bike and brought it home.

When I first read the rules for this competition, I wanted to grab a marker and post this, but then I thought I should hold off so I didn’t offend anyone or start a bidding war.

3/18/24. SPELT

The amazing cookies at Dolci Gelato are made with wheat that might be SPELT and, more importantly, are half price after 3pm.  They are a vital part of my rides home when I take the long way.

3/17/24 SNORT

I asked the #withcrew what goes ‘snort’, and they all shouted “Pigs!”

@cvcalhoun, thanks for running a great game!  You got me to look at my neighborhood through fresh eyes and think about which friends I could call to bring out hard to find items.

I hope you stay safe this year and we can all play again for FS25!

@cvcalhoun, is this related to your extra mile post yesterday?

Can we bring you anything?  And is there a kidical- like category for hauling inured FS’ers?

@Joan, my condolenses and congrats on succeeding where I failed in renting a bike.

My Extra Mile story involves a trip to Omaha, a borrowed Bike Friday folding bike, and blowing snow.

First, I tried every forum and called multiple bike shops, but no luck. My team captain offered her folding bike if I could figure out how to get it into its case.  It only took about 40 cold minutes in my driveway to get it disassembled and packed on Sunday night.  Monday I flew out and landed in 80 degree  weather, got the bike assembled and put in 13miles before I went to bed.

Tuesday morning we started work early, so I was only able to get 7miles in before my day started.  A cold front blew in, and it was down to 20 degrees as we raced to the car and went out for the obligatory social dinner.  I got back to the hotel determined to complete at least a decasleaze, put on all my gear, and rode 1.5 miles out into the blowing snow, and then turned around and let the wind push me home.  I took a screenshot of my weather app for my Strava post:

3/8 EARLY

4pm is only a little too early for the amazing hazy IPA at Port City.

@cvcalhoun, thanks!  I will do that.

3/4 FLAME

The DC water plant installed a methane digester while I was riding to work everyday at the Naval Research Lab.  I talked with some of the folks who worked on it as we rode across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge together.  This shot is of the smoke and/or steam generated by the FLAME that drivers their small gas turbine.

In other words, DC is actually powered, in a small part, by crap from politicians.

3/4/24 – Named Creek or River

The Potomac.  Not quite a House of Cards shot, but that’s what I was going for.

2/28/24 DEVIL

The First Omen is the prequel to The Omen, a movie about the Devil.

I know this is fiction because the real devil is road salt.
