I’ll accept this street sign but moving forward street signs are not included in this pointless prize. My purpose was for this prize to include specific monuments and memorials, and while I understand a street sign can be interpreted as such it was not my original, though not specifically stated, intent.

Sure you know the big three, Lincoln, Jefferson and Washington, but did you know there are over 160 monuments and memorials just in DC, including one to singer Sonny Bono? For this pointless prize simply ride at least 1 mile and snap a pic of your bike at a monument or memorial.

Other rules:
– only one per day and only one visit per memorial, meaning you only get one point for a post of the Washington monument. However you can include multiple memorials to the same person. For example there are two memorials to FDR in DC, you can get a point for each if posted on separate days.
– your bike must be in the photo
– name & location the monument/memorial must be included
– for this pointless prize a monument/memorial must be either a statue, commemorative plaque or sign of cultural or historic significance and must identify the name of the person or persons being memorialized
– not included are tombstones, gravestones, or painted murals
EDIT 1/4: Street name signs are excluded unless they specifically state that they are in memorial to a specific person(s)
-use hashtag #monuments in your post

Prizes:
1st prize is a private 3-hour professional bike tour of the National Mall monuments and memorials for you and up to 3 friends! Tour includes stops at the Capitol, the White House and more than 10 other sites with historical background and cultural significance of the memorial provided by your guide.

2nd prize is the book “25 Bike Tours in Washington DC” by Anne H. Oman

Little Free Library Pointless Prize at 2404 Burke Ave in Alexandria. It’s a kids library and definitely needs more kids books! Also it’s on a tricycle!

A monument or memorial is a structure, plaque, statue or building that honors a person, group of people or an event. For example, the WW2 memorial is acceptable as it honors that event. The Japanese-American memorial is also acceptable.

Leprechauns are sly, magical creatures. Here is one disguised as a goose. He didn’t see me take his photo because I was wearing my green FS buff!
