Riding Game

There wasnt much to see down there, but a sign.


Had a great ride from the Rio Grande valley, up to the top of the Sandia Mountains. Heres the tag, an elevation marker. No specific number, just a sign.

Man I went by twenty of them today.

 

[tkent02]

OK, here's the twenty first...

Next, an old wildfire, forest fire, or other big burn of some type. This is part of the Hayman Burn, the largest fire in Colorado history.

This one happened in 2001, burned an area of 138,000 acres, something like 80 miles long and about 20 or thirty miles wide, but that's just a guess based on riding around in it for a few years. We rode through it for hours today.
So yeah, any big old fire is fine.
An active fire will work for this tag too if you can find one!

Edit, Arson for the purpose of taking a great photo will NOT be tolerated!

With the quickness! That has to be a record.

Making up for previous record slowness.

This shouldn't be too hard to find. (UN)Fortunately it seems a third of our state goes up in flames every year. I have a place in mind and I'll try to get there later on today.

Not even close, a few years ago we had 5 tags in one day. They were fairly easy, but it is what it is. Like the saying goes, "we were amped".

Visited an old burn in Albuquerque today. It scorched 250 acres in the Bosque (wooded area) area near the Rio Grande. This sculpture is cut from a burned cottonwood tree. One of the fireman that worked to extinguish the blaze carved a bunch of the burned trees into different animals etc.

Next tag, a race car. One that drives in circles looking for the finish line, or one that just goes straight to it.

That's a very creative idea.

If anyone has a racing museum in the vicinity, that's where I got this pic. This was in front of the Unser museum here in town. Surely someone has a car they run down the quarter mile, or has one near by. Right around the corner from me is a dragster, and another that goes to CA regularly for the salt flats.

Blasted out 75 miles after work! Love this Game

The salt flats have been moved out of Utah?

Mixed up on the location, my mistake. The car is a few streets over though.

If you're interested here's an older youtube video of a run.

With the lack of response to the race car tag, I thought I'd throw an alternate out there. In hopes of keeping this moving.

A coin operated pay phone. These used to be everywhere but around here they're pretty scarce.

The race car tag is a good one, just give it time. If you subscribe to this thread, you'll get an email when someone posts something.

You haven't broke the thread at all...









I had spotted a GT car while out and about previously and used this to get this tag. But there was no cars about when I went so I knocked on the door and met Phil Stott. What a gent. Couldn't have been any friendlier and more helpful. Thanks Phil!

The car is one of a large collection of Group C and IMSA race cars from the '80s and '90s. It is a Nissan R90, 3.5l twin turbo pushing 900 bhp. It's also for sale if anyone is interested. Some of you may be familiar with Chip Robinson who drove this one.

Had a great time there, petrol-head heaven... but I soon left when he denied me a drive around the block This tag has been the highlight of the riding game.. so far.

So the next challenge is your bike with a large building skeleton frame or large construction site, that sort of thing.

 

[Burque73]

How fun! Great job and glad you got to meet the owner as well.
