That's the truth! Hope others have had an opportunity to get out and cruise, too! Would love to see some other adventures.

Seems I have a challenge to issue... so here it is. It comes from two directions - one, I appreciated JAM's open-ended, go have fun approach, and two, I was really just paying some attention to what I did see, since we had nothing specific in mind. It just kept registering time and again that "YUP! That was one of the prior challenges... and another one... and..." I lost track after around 12 of the previous ones that I saw on this ride alone.

SO: Go ride. We've had 110+ challenges, most met, a couple stumped us. Go find NEW photos of 5 of them (so yeah, if you won one once, you can use the same challenge again, but it must be a new photo). It can be over a single ride, or over multiple. GOS, of course. Most importantly, GO HAVE FUN!

Not sure I'm following you... no coffee yet, and just getting up, so it may be me.

JAM posted up his challenge, and then posted up one HELL of an example with his construction deal. I posted up my response to his challenge, with the junk art sculpture garden, and then JAM referenced one of those photos saying he wanted that piece.

Previous photos were either as examples of, or joking about the current challenge... like the mooning pumpkin/scarecrow thing and the Frankenstein for Pres. Breaks up the monotony of waiting a few days for someone to score.

There has been a lot of extra posting of photos, though... but all with purpose it seems?

5 different things huh?
Well, here you go, and please, don't do that again...

Ch. # 6 - an abandoned house


Ch. #3 - a baseball field (a local community college)


Ch. #10 - a graveyard


Ch. #15 - a speed limit < 25MPH


Ch. #44 - a trailer park


and just for good measure (since I passed them anyway...)
Ch. #100 - a log cabin


and Ch. #94 - horses


..may as well throw in the undead garden gnome too (Ch. #107)

..speaking for myself, probably not.
I intend to take a break as it is...

Next up, a road trip.
A photo of your bike at any major electrical utility power generating plant.
