ParticipantThis is a great local ride suitable for families and friends who are ride-curious. Think of it as a gateway ride to get them hooked! The cost covers the ride and a $5 donation to Fairfax Alliance for Better Bicycling (FABB). These are the folks who go to all those bike advocacy meetings so you don’t have to!

ParticipantIt was fun to do and you all were great – even on those terrible Wordles!
In addition to the pointless prizes for the “rode every day” (Christina Swartz and Janet L), and the overall winner, CaseyKane50, I have some truly pointless prizes for everyone who played even once. So if you know you’re NOT coming to the HH, can you let me know that here so I can get a head count of how many more I need to make? 🙂

Participant@karenbikes2 — I did, in fact, do a double take yesterday when I saw that! 🙂

ParticipantReminder that yesterday started our “increasing points” season. We hope Wordle gives you good words to work with – but this is your chance to be super creative. Remember that the artistry of the photo (composition, lighting, etc.) and how it fits the subject word is the first thing we look for. Narrative is fine, but if the photo doesn’t bring it to mind, we’re less likely to get there — unless it is a simply STUNNING photo, in which case backflips are on the table.
You have all done amazing work in some very challenging conditions with some really terrible words. No matter how this ends, you are ALL winners!
And, the prizes are pointless anyway, right? 🙂
