Yikes! So my goal was to see if I could come close to a fun pair of socks for every day of freezing saddles, which is something crazy like 78 pairs of socks. I may have to set up a photo shoot with my bike and socks between now and the 11th. I am a huge fan of Millie and SteveO’s socks too. Velociraptors sharks and guns??? Rated R flowers???? This is some seriously great sock game!

Switch out your socks so that you wear at least two pairs a day. I see that you get multiple commute rides normally… It’s been fun seeing your awesome sock game this year, Sarah!

You are way too young to get shingles! Feel better!

Thanks, Sarah! Hopefully it just means that this will end up a more mild case than if I were older…

At the top right there’s a little plus in a circle – hover and the top menu is “upload activity”. What format is the text file you’re trying to upload?

Hmm… thanks! Okay, that’s step one. Since I rode the same route for yesterday as I did two days ago, I tried to use notepad to insert the details from one into the other except for the header information and the footer information. However, Strava is telling me it’s a duplicate still… I’m not sure what the next step is.

Another day. Another failure. I watched Strava blip into autopause while I was riding today.

Fireball + Cuervoball

Green Mountain Boys leader
Earthen fort was given his name
Cannon aims wide of dog park

Fireball back in play
Crossed a border on a breezy day
Once a capital defense
No battles whence
In a cannon not long to stay

Beware, the defensive fort parks around DC are generally owned by NPS.

Updates to some that have been captured:

2/7 –
Alert! Where was the Phoenix Ball hidden today? (FOUND)

Alert! Roscoe’s looks upon a small park in Takoma Park. Two Frozemon are hoping that you will bring them some pizza! (ONE STILL UNFOUND – PROBABLY)

2/12 – Alert! Frozemon outbreak on a boardwalk between Bladensburg and the DC line! Five total spotted! (ALL FIVE FOUND)

NOTE: The DC line is where NPS starts, so these aren’t in NPS territory.

2/16 – Alert! A Frozemon has been spotted studying up on Indian Heritage along the Trolley Trail. My, these Frozemon are studious. (FOUND)

[Mtansill]

For those who follow me on Stalk-a.. I mean Strava.. you maybe noticed that I hid today’s and yesterday’s rides. I present you now with Frozemon sightings!

Alert! Two Frozemon have been spotted bothering those looking for a rest at the Denis Wolf Rest Stop off the Northeast Branch trail!
Alert! Two Frozemon are learning about sustainable farming at the Eco City Farms bike stop in Edmonston, MD.
Alert! Two Frozemon are giving some geese what for near the gazebo at the end of the Paint Branch trail!
Alert! Two Frozemon have revealed themselves as subset nerdist off the Trolley Trail in Old College Park.

Thee Phoenixball lives and has been found and hidden within thee same day. Crossing boundaries. Upgrading swag. Cleaning the swag container so that it may shineth like new and, most importantly, NOT attract random puppers with the undeniable scent of chocolate.

Proposed ordnance: Prestidigitation – Spell of great awesomeness and utility, if a player should prestidigitate a calvinball/swag container by carefully cleansing it and thus decreasing the chance that an animal shall destroy it, that player’s haiku/limerick shall generate +3 points for being such a pretty caster.

Clue:
Bikenetic is
Sister-shop to Proteus

Yep, that’s me! I wasn’t lying. There’s also some kind of competitive gene floating around, too… Lol.

Although (IMO) you’ve won the sock game in both quantity and quality this year.

NOT denying that SarahBee has awesome, cool sock game this year, but you are forgetting that not all socks have been posted on the forum, Drevil.

Step 3: Post that photo in one of two places:
a) On Instagram. Please use the following hashtag (if it is not hashtagged properly, it will not be judged since I am lazy and will only look at photos using the hashtag search function): #BAFS2018SockGame
b) Here on this thread if you are a non-instagraming participant.

Here are a few of my contenders for sock game!
