Belated heartfelt thanks to Kelly and Glenn for sponsoring this fun game! It motivated me to continue riding on days when all I wanted to do was go back to my warm house!

UPDATED #publicartfinders winners are….. (drum roll!!!)…..

• 1st place – Chris Randall (@consularrider)
• 2nd place – Heidi Rausch (@heidi-rausch)
• 3rd place — Janet L (@indiana)

A special shout out to Carol Calhoun (@cvcalhoun) who was on track to finish in the top 3 participants, but sadly was hit by a car and had to drop back to a being a Friend of BAFS.

I was hoping to see you all at the Freezing Saddles Final Happy Hour on April 2nd, but alas I will be out of town — on a bike tour, imagine that. Boomer (thank you!) will present the awards in my absence.

Thank you all so much for playing #publicartfinder! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all your posts and reading the comments and stories accompanying them. I follow all of you on Strava and will be watching for more of your public art finds. I hope you all will play again in 2026!

@sszibler the link to your current bingo card is on Carol’s spreadsheet for the contest – see her first post for the link to it. I had the same problem you did, lost my bingo card, and that’s how I found it again.

3/6/2025 ALERT

When I ride down this hill and make a sharp turn into this tunnel underneath South Lakes Dr in Reston, I need to be ALERT in order to avoid running into pedestrians or other cyclists who might be coming out of it!
