SloMoPo Solved

My first Strava puzzle SloMoPo was solved pretty shortly after posting it. I was starting simple, so that’s not too surprising.

Ben saw the pattern in the alliterations. Nice work, Ben!


Step one: ignore everything that wasn’t the “activity of the day” (in other words, ignore every activity that isn’t prefaced with a day #)

Step two: break the activities into groups, where the dividing line is any ride that is not an alliteration. Hints for this included titles like “Spaced Out” and “You Deserve a Break Today”.

Step three: each activity group is a word, composed of the alliteration letters from each title (e.g. 1/14 – 1/16 was JOY: J (Jury-rigged Jaunt; Joking Justified) + O (Outing Offsets Obsessing) + Y (Yester Youth)

Put it all together, and you get the following Haiku:
