Saw your thread about the Lyme, apparently several others know what you're goin' through. Guess a photo challenge of a bike in front of a giant tick would be in poor taste?
Get well!
LOL.
Oh I dunno, I think getting a picture with a regular sized tick would be more of a challenge...
Jam, what were you doing to get into ticks? Out in the woods, or off a domesticated animal? tp
Not a clue.
I have two dogs and an indoor/outdoor cat - and I'm outside all day.
Plus I live on an end lot next to about 400 acres of woods, filled with deer and turkey... been here 25 years and never had a problem, till this year.
Found what I thought was just a spider/bug bite on my leg one day, two weeks later it was a red welt the size of a softball.
Next day I woke up in the hospital...

Dam* son, that sux. At least it wasn't a brown recluse spider, or your leg would be ready to be removed by now.
Hope you have recovered. Want to see you in the winner's circle soon. tp

Jam, very sorry to hear about your struggles with Lyme disease. Sounds absolutely miserable. Hope you're able to get it sorted out.
I think the current challenge is a place that sells landscape materials. Here's a concrete place that sells hardscape stuff - hope that qualifies.
Assuming this works, next challenge is your bike in front of a town welcome sign from any town mentioned in a Stephen King book or movie.
For example, I live near Buxton, Maine (where the tree and rock wall were in Shawshank Redemption - if you haven't seen it, go rent it) so I would go take a pic with the "welcome to Buxton" sign. Doesn't matter to me if it's the right state, just the town name. So Portland, Oregon works as well as Portland, ME. GoS of course, or bonus points if you have a copy of the book or movie your town reference it's from on the seat instead.
I haven't been very active myself lately.
I just got into the nice riding weather then got hit with Lyme Disease.
That was a month ago, and I'm still recovering from that, and the treatment.
Man, I don't wish that on anybody - sickest I've ever been in my life.
Sorry to hear that. BTDT myself.
It get's better slowly.
Spray your cloths and shoes with permethrine when you go outside.

It finally stopped raining...
Here's a photo right outside Derry, PA, mentioned in quite a few Stephen King works as Derry, Maine. http://stephenking.wikia.com/wiki/Derry,_Maine

So, if this is OK then next up, your bike in front of a sign for a town or city mentioned in a song.
An extra attaboy if the name is in the song title.
It doesn't have to be the specific town (eg: Derry, Maine) just so long as the name is the same (eg: Derry, PA)
