    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

Riding Game

If I get a rain free afternoon we have some nice canopy roads around here. Giant 100+ year old Oaks and Cypress trees with Spanish moss hanging of them. I love riding through them as they are usually about 10 degrees cooler. Down here we take a 10 degree drop anytime we can get it.

Don't tell anyone, but New Jersey has some nice areas to ride if one has local knowledge....I guess most places are like that though.

Yeah, but the cuckoos on the road in Jersey out way the nice places to ride, been there, done that. Nice tag and a good new one. A "Historical" is the keyword, not just a boneyard:p:o
 
We do have stupid/distracted/maniacal drivers by the boatload. i'm lucky enough to have some rural areas near me, plus staying away from the big highways, big towns/cities, and the avioding the beach helps..i take it that you've spent time here? As far as the tag, i'm happy that as a relative newbie here, that i've been able to add some interesting tags. Thanks.
 
I have a picture for the tag but am at work now and don't have a new tag ready. If no one gets it today ill post it up tomorrow before work.
 
There is no true historical items in central Fl. only along the coastal areas, we technically didn't exist till air conditioning was invented.:p

The rules, correct me if Im wrong, are that the picture needs to be taken within your "last ride" (or 24hours). You cant be pulling stuff off of your inter-google library and call it "the riding game" Thats not what we are here for......we are here for riding.

I think you misunderstood him, I could be wrong in my thinking as well, but the way I interpreted him was, that he had the tag, but didn't want to post it till he had his new tag in hand as well(said he doesn't have his new tag ready), and since he was at work, he couldn't post till this morning sometime. Yeah we don't want old saved tags, but we usually don't hold it to 24 hours, example; you get the tag, but when you are getting ready to post it, you see you've been beat by another member, but you already had a new tag ready to use as well, now as long as the new tag isn't saved for weeks/months/etc no one usually belly-aches about using that if you happen to get one of the next tags, you just can't go around snapping pics and hope one of them will pop up soon, rules are just guidelines as not to make the game too easy or less fun, no citations are being handed out.
It's still a game, to get us all riding more with friendly competition, but we don't want to be too big a stick in the mud, or we'll lose players.
 
Yes exactly. I took it at about 3pm on my way to work. Just didn't want to hold up the game without a new tag ready as I thought that was polite thing to do. Worked till 3 am n am now up with kids. Will go out and get a new tag photoin a few hours when the wife gets home.

By the way... its things like this that discourage people from even wanting to participate.
 
As official co-chairman, I'm good with it. No one else has posted besides me. Atleast he is being truthful and it is with in a 24 hour period. Post away, but it better be good or you will be severly ridiculed. ;)

don't sweat it, his intentions may be mis-read as well, he may have just mis-read your response, and as far as not holding up the game, as long as your within a few hours, you'll be ok, post your tag if you have it, then grab your new one as soon as possible, especially if your getting it this morning still, it's not like this game has been fast paced as of late, pi$$ poor weather all over has slowed a lot of us down.
 
Alright here is my tag, our local "little forgotten cemetary". Its from the old "Pineview Insane Asylum" that has been shut down and tore down for over 25 years here is Peshtigo. This cemetary was not nearly this nice looking 10 years ago until a bunch of volunteers went in and cleaned up everything, repainted and replaced the some head markers or crosses. None of them have names on them and I was told it was where it all the patients that had no family or friends to take them after they passed were buried.



Going out to get a new tag here shortly if this one is acceptable.
 
I like the photo , and the history lesson about the cemetery. I have a closed psychiatric hospital (Marlboro) near me, that i've been considering as a tag, or at least a picture for the "who went for a ride today" thread. Try to get some sleep tonight!
 
Alright, next tag, is a favorite of mine and the kids to go on a nice day in town. It has to be "Community Funded when built and FOR KIDS" and extra points if was constructed by the community like this park was. Its call Badger Boardwalk and was funded and built by the citizens of our little town. I remember helping build this at like 12-13 yrs old and thinking it was the best park ever. lol





Its a nice day out around here so get out there and burn some gas....
