I can’t remember how I got the idea for this but RFK Stadium was the perfect fish-eye. I had to carry my bike up and down stairs to get to the perimeter of the stadium, and until I actually rode it, I didn’t know if stadium perimeter would be blocked to passage-thankfully it was not. I considered using E Capitol St Bridge to make this into a swordfish, but I decided the body was the wrong shape for that species–so instead, after climbing the jersey barrier with my bike, I walked on the grass to try to make puckered lips, but made them too small to really show. Lincoln Park Square is such a fertile source for radiating vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines, so important in every Strava artist’s toolbox! (see Dreams of Spring-Jan 20 ’14)

Full Ride (in two parts) 14.5It was a Friday and I went from MU Campus down to Java Shack and then back to my office in Ballston. When I uploaded my freezing saddles lunch ride, I said to myself, that’s the head of a baby chicken! I looked around and George Mason Dr. was the perfect connector I needed to complete my chick! I used the Bluemont Connector path for the front leg, and made a wrong turn–but it looked better than my plan so I kept it–now there’s a little meat on that chicken leg!
Awwwww……….I love baby animals!
