scavenger hunt!

[Dirty Duc]

Duck season, Rabbit season.

Your Duc and something that goes by the common name for a lagamorph.

[justinrhenry]

Well, you don't see many Volkswagen Rabbits anymore and although I do see rabbits in my yard occasionally the idea of getting a picture of one, let alone getting a picture of one with my bike, seems impossible.  So, here you go!!!

Next up... your bike with an American flag... or with fireworks!

[pennyrobber]

Happy Independence Day!

Next one "Your Bike and Livestock"

(livestock of your choosing)

Next Target:  Your bike in front of either a national museum or presidential library.

[TitanMonsterS4R]

Library of Congress - Thomas Jefferson Building.
Next: Duc in front of a fountain (Drinking fountains don't count )

[triangleforge]

That set of curves looks mighty familiar; is that just outside of Nellysford, VA by any chance? The climb to Brent's Gap is the one I'm thinking of...

Nope--Tail of the Dragon.  But the area around Nellysford looks like some good riding--at least on the map.  Any suggestions as I live in Yorktown and it would be reachable for a (long) day trip.

Ah, Nellysford -- my bike racing team used to do spring training camps down there (well, they still do but I've since moved to Arizona), so I have a love/hate recollection of a lot of the steep, twisty climbs around there. A great base of operations would be The Acorn Inn there http://www.acorninn.com/ -- tell Martin & Kathy that Brad DeVries sent you. For moto roads, our big-loop training course would be good: the previously mentioned Brent's Gap would be a good start; up and over it on 151 I remember as twisty on both sides (and looked a lot like your Deals photo, which isn't a bad thing!), country roads that hook up to the west with the Blue Ridge Parkway, then north on the BRP to Reed's Gap, and a crazy, twisty descent down to the valley floor. Lots of other cool back roads to the East of the Acorn Inn as well. I'll see if I can get some of my friends to send me the route maps from spring training as ideas.

end threadjack; we now return you to your regularly scheduled scavenger hunt.

shit, I could have that for you ASAP but it's 105 here so I'm hiding during daylight hours.

Local mountain road, that windmill powers a private residence.



Next challenge:  Your bike with some industrial ruins/abandonments WITH graffiti.

[CDawg]

[the_Journeyman]

Well, go find some abandoned factory with graffiti all over the placed and grab a pic!

Then YOU get to decide & post what the next person must find!

[avizpls]

The areas where I live that have abandoned buildings with graffiti are the same areas where I don't make a full stop at the stopsigns, much less get off and start snappin pics.
