@Nadine —

It was NOT this cold list year @Kbikeva. It was mostly in the 40s, & no snow during freezing Saddles at all. (Maybe none all winter.) It was the first FS I’ve ever broken 2,000 miles. Was that the one when you were in AZ for a lot of it?

Nope, El Paso, Texas. Dealing with my mom’s health issues. Then I got hit by a car there. So in terms of trauma last year vs this year, I should be grateful it’s “only” cold. LOL

BLOND   once again, Steve O nailed this one

THING   AlanA, chill-dad, SusanG

LARGE     bikesnick, chill-dad (small rider, large shadow), drevil (how did you train that owl?), mtansill (we’re trying to not be envious she’s in Dublin, just appreciative that she’s still playing well)

So the tally is:

5 – bikesnick

4 – Aaronbikes, CaseyKane50, drevil, JoM, karenbikes2, mtansill

3 – SteveO, Indiana, cvcalhoun, ChristinaSwartz, CBGAnimal, Boomer2U

just playing along, not competing. I found this large puppy print in the concrete floor.

this was a surprise to me to find it! It’s not very exciting, but it is art! I particularly like the figure with spiky hair.

1/19/2024  Because I was out doing a midnight + 1 second ride with the Fairfax Awesomeness that is Team 22, Carol beat me to the Wordle.

Nonetheless, here is your word for today:

THING

Be creative, be whimsical, be safe in the snow!

I was going to go for the lien against the piece, but the deep snow changed my mind. Thus only a tiny bit of my bike is visible on the edges – – but it’s there!

Fairfax County flag hanging limply. However, if it was standing straight out, that would be right in my face riding home, so I’m OK with it.

I just updated this because I realized I had misidentified the flag.

when I was at the grocery store after my ride, the firefighters were there shopping. They told me I should not be biking because it’s too dangerous. I just laughed and said I already did.

This is station number 31 at Fox Mill in The Reston area.
