thread set to not archive so those of us that still have a few months of winter to get thru can participate.
SWMBO'd got a new ride this fall and hasn't had it out yet so I suspect we will be in the wind allot this summer. |

To say that you are on thin ice would be a vastly optimistic view of your current situation. The ice has melted. You are being supported by the surface tension of water.

I usually start the thread each year as I do the Polar Bear Run... I'll take a shot at keeping track, my anal retentive engineering brain needs more work.
And, I'll throw in a prize. Especially since I'm going to win... Current Target: Boat Ramp at a River |

No big rivers around on the island that I know of.

No old pics...Old School Rule.
Bridge is a good 100+ building so, the target is: Your bike with a building 100+ years old. And no one died to make me a judge, but I have opinions. @VACarver... It's all good. |

View Quote If the bridge was an old pic, the target should still be a 100 plus year old building. -1 point for Gryffindor for using old pic. |

I volunteer as judge.
I don't have a bike so I have no dog in the fight. Old pics. Not allowed in the spirit of the thread. |

“How dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”

If it wasn't 20 degrees out today, or if my drive to work wasn't 45 mins, I could get both the building and a sign advertisement in one pic.
I work across the street from the oldest building on main street, which has a cool old Dr Pepper ad on the side of it. Our building was built in 1918, not sure when theirs was built. The Dr Pepper ad is one of the old 10, 2 and 4 ones. |

View Quote It's way too cold to ride (and I can't get my bike out due to snow), but if I could, I could knock out the boat ramp, the old building, and the soda sign within 15 minutes. |

Target: your bike and a 100+ year old building.

The Memorial Arch, Chattanooga National Cemetery. Being here put me in a somber and patriot mood. Next up, your bike with a large US flag in the background. I know that is a bit subjective but the bigger the better. Attached File |

Oregon is pretty void of famous military officers...Great weather for a ride though.
Still looking for this target: House that was at one point the home to a famous/notable US military officer. |
