2/16/21 – Crown or Mask (with eyeholes)
Mardi Gras, aka Fat Tuesday, is celebrated the day before Ash Wednesday. Fun fact: if you want to ride on a Mardi Gras float you must wear a mask. In fact, it is actually illegal to ride one without one!
On your ride, find a crown (that sits on top of your head) or a mask (that has eyeholes). If you find the word, it’ll be 1 point. If you find a likeness, that’ll be 2 points total.
Happy hunting!

2/16/21 – Crown or Mask (with eyeholes)
Searched high and low on a 35 mile ride without luck for a crown or mask (with eye holes) or the word. Desperation led me to the local ABC store and purchase of a mini Royal Crown Black bottle of whiskey.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2/15/21 – “St Skeletor’s Day” Subanagram (5 or more letters) or Human Skeleton
Single and/or tired of the commercialism/smoochiness of Valentines Day? Then St. Skeletor‘s Day, celebrated on February 15 since 1998, was made for you! Skeletor – He Man’s archenemy – is the inspiration for the day, and it’s all about anti-love and not doing anything special for anyone.
On your ride, scramble the letters of “St Skeletor’s Day” to come up with a real word that has 5 or more letters, and find that word out in the wild for one point. The alternative for two points is to find a human skeleton likeness, but it has to be more than half of the body including the skull (i.e., not just the skull or a just a hand)
Happy hunting!

Stores – sign in window stating “Due to state and local mandates, everyone must wear a mask while in our stores.”

2/14/21 – Heart
Valentine’s Day has dark origins with vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition, such as women being gently slapped with bloody goat hides by drunk naked men. (WHAT?!?!)
Anyways, on your ride, find a heart – either the shape or the word. And you might want to avoid any tipsy naked dudes with goat hides — unless that’s your kink
Happy hunting!

2/14/21 – Heart
No shortage of hearts on my ride today, as you can see from my Strava post, but this was the best find of the day. (I cropped out the naked tipsy naked dudes with goat hides [emoji6])

2/13/21 – Diner
On February 13, 1960, the first of the Nashville Sit-ins occurred to non-violently protest segregation in the South. It eventually lead to six downtown stores opening their lunch counters to black customers for the first time.
On your ride, find a diner – preferably one you like – take a snapshot of it and post it here in the forum. For an extra bonus point, have both the word “Diner” and at least part of your bike in it.
Please be careful out there if it gets slippery!
Happy hunting!

2/13/21 – Diner
Took the obvious Reston area diner photo, then headed for Ambrosia in Herndon – but it was closed, and clearly a while ago! Didn’t investigate too closely because it started to sleet [emoji849] but no obvious signage remaining on the building.
Oops, missed reading about the extra point with bike in photo – but not going back out unless it stops sleeting [emoji53]
