Location: Lat: 38.930466 Long: -77.3602353. On the path that runs along the east side of Steeplechase Dr in Reston, just south of the intersection of Bugle Ln and Steeplechase, behind 2410 Bugle Ln.
This Little Free Library didn’t have any children’s books that I could see, and really should have LOTS since it’s only about 500′ from Hunters Woods Elementary School. Didn’t think, given the late hour, to bring any books with me, but planning to revisit this LFL and bring some children’s literature!

Reston post office, inside the lobby. Nothing on the outside of the building to identify it as the “Reston” PO. Riding late at night provided the advantage of being able to bring my bike into the lobby!

For some reason I thought you were in El Paso!! I was looking forward to seeing stuff from there.

WISH I was in El Paso! Much more interesting than Herndon [emoji23]

Hi all! Last year was my first year of doing BAFS and despite doubting that I could actually ride through the winter, I did and I LOVED it. So excited to start BAFS 2022 in just over a month! Looking forward to the opening HH and meeting more avid riders this winter.

Bigredboiler, thank you sooooo much for the mailbox game!!! 😊 This was my 1st freezing saddles and it took me a while to figure out everything other than “I need to ride at least 1 mile each day and preferably at least 10.” Once I got the hang of the pointless prize games I got hooked on a couple as motivators. The hunt for unique mailboxes was my favorite, and the one most helpful in getting me out and keeping me riding even in the worst weather. Thanks again, and I look forward to meeting you live and in person!

Haha, Alan, you are too funny! Next time I’m in FL and visit that pond I’ll be sure to bring a letter with me and see if the gator accepts it!

I’ve seen this and taken a photo — several years ago on a bike tour I led in southern Spain.

Do you live in an HOA that requires fancy mailboxes? You posted more cool mailboxes from one ride than I’ve seen all year!!

Haha, nope. I went out today specifically looking for them and was amazed at the number I found. Mind you I’ve ridden by each and every one dozens of times and never noticed them!

For some reason I’m unable to upload photos from my computer right now so hoping this suffices.
From my 2/4/21 ride around Reston & Herndon:
