    It’s mid week, so it’s time for our next Freezing Saddles Side Bet! For this challenge ” Find the Founding Fathers”, we will not be competing in teams, nor will there be any benefit to being in one state over another. FSSB #3 will be in the format of a photo meme, so get those cameras ready. To complete the tasks of FSSB #3, you will have to ride your bike to a place, any place that mentions, alludes to, honors, is named for, or could be perceived to represent one of President of the United States. Take a picture of your bike with that location and post it on the forum. The trick (there is always a trick) is that you have to post a photo of the presidential items in order from Washington to Obama. For example I have posted a photo of my bike at the “Washington Marina”. Once you post your photo write the name of the president in the text section. like this:

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]4478[/ATTACH]
    WASHINGTON

    Feel free to be as obvious or as obscure as you like. I could have posted a photo of the Washington Monument, or even the Masonic Temple. Be creative. To be able to go on to the next president, at least 3 forum people have to “like” the post. Other rules, Washington was easy (the entire town is named for him) so I took it to start the process, once we get 3 likes we can move on to “John Adams” If you have a better photo and the current one doesn’t have 3 likes, then by all means make the steal. The White house or other POTUS site that is not specific to any one president will not work. There only needs to be one photo for each president, you don’t have to post your own list of presidents, just the next one in order. Multiple presidents in one photo are okay, but you only get credit for the next one. You have to have at least 1 bike in the picture. The picture has to be taken starting today. Also, the name in question doesn’t actually have to be “written” in the photo like “Washington” in Washington Marina was. Nicknames are also acceptable. Have fun and remember it’s all for fun. We are already winners!

    Hey, it’s not easy finding a way to distinguish John Quincy Adams from John Adams!

    Try 2020 19th St., NW Washington, D.C. 20009 (which, yes, gave the neighborhood its name).

    NO. I am a Slacker — I’m not riding 15 miles out of my way for that.

    Obscure, but a recognizable spot. I got it with a quick Google search. Nice. Learn something new every day.

    That is on the far side of obscure! This wasn’t the RR line however.

    Yep. Too obscure for me. But I’m sure it’s really clever. Can’t like it unless I can figure it out, though.

    Fletcher’s Boathouse is an inadequate reference to “tippy canoe.”

    Take a pic of a bike by my 15″ wide sprint kayak. It is a tippy canoe!
