If anyone is interested but hasn't jumped in here, just check out the first post.
I'll give a brief summary.
1) While you're out riding today, look for a mascot, since that's the current tag, and get a pic of said mascot with your bike in the pic.
(mascot can be a person or thing representing an event or organization)
2) Keep riding and enjoying the day while looking for a new tag and snap another pic, again with your bike in the pic.
3) Whenever you get a chance, preferably not while riding, post your pic of the current tag claiming your right to choose the new one.
4) Post your pic of the new tag including a brief description of what the tag is.
5) Enjoy watching what others come up with, and repeat.
Roger,
Surprized and dissapointed that not much activity here. I did enjoy this game for some time.
But the following was how it proceeded for me:
1) While you're out riding today, look for a mascot, since that's the current tag, and get a pic of said mascot with your bike in the pic.
(mascot can be a person or thing representing an event or organization)
2) Ride directly home, to get picture posted before someone else does.
3) As soon as get home, get on computer and annoy wife who was waiting for me for some reason.
4) Post your pic of the new tag including a brief description of what the tag is.
5) Enjoy watching what others come up with, and repeat.
Doesnt seem that such effort is required any more.
Maybe in a few weeks I can get back into it.
That seems more of an imposition than a fun game when you say it like that, but that hasn't been my experience at all. In fact, my wife had fun riding with me and finding new tags. On one occasion, we rode 260 miles together, got rained and hailed on in search of the tag at that time. We may never forget that ride.
I have a whole folder of "riding game" photos, that I've gone back to many times for the POW game.
My process was a little different.
1) Decide I am going for a ride, look at maps, get on my gear, warm up bike, pick a camera and lens combo, hop on and go.
2) Realize I didn't check the tag before I left, find somewhere to stop and check it out with my phone. OK - now I have the tag.
3) Ride the roads I planned, watching for the tag, if I find it stop and take 30-40 photos hoping for a good one. If I don't see the tag - DONE.
4) Finish my ride, check to see if the tag is still open, if it is I continue, if not - DONE
5) Spend an hour importing, sorting, rejecting, and selecting a couple goods ones, from my 30-40 photos. Then another hour or so developing the good ones.
6) Check one last time if the tag is still open. If so, post up! If not, better luck next time.
I should try and play more. Although these days I only get out a few times a month.
Just really need get in the habit of checking the tag before I go out.
