Thanks for a good idea. Ive just been commuting for the last week - Im in New Zealand for work and its summer here and I should be taking advantage of it. I saw the challenge at the end of the day and thought why not, so went back home and and grabbed my camping stuff.



I had about an hour before sunset so I looked for somewhere local - Forest Pools campsite was about 25km away so a quick trip to get some supplies then off I went.

Its down the end of a short unsealed road, and there were only a couple of other people there. On the bike I found a nice spot really close to the water.



Challenge: Bike with campsite ☑
Drank a beer, cooked some food, watched the sunset.



Once it got dark it was very quiet, just a few insects to be heard, nothing man made as far as I could tell. Just before I got to sleep there was a noise like someone treading on a duck, no idea what it was - maybe a Kiwi?



In the morning I went for a swim in the pools, didnt see the fish until afterwards but they didnt seem to mind.



It was a very picturesque place..



..and a good site to camp.



Loaded up again.



Back to work.

Its pleasantly hot here, could do with some ice cream: :siren:Your bike with an Ice Cream at an Ice Cream Parlor:siren:
If you're in the sun at the moment, its an opportunity for a nice ride. If you're in the snow, might take a bit of finding.

Hey, another Seca! Are you on the XJRider forum?

New challenge: :siren: Your bike on Main St!:siren:

What the gently caress, an Arkansas moto goon.
You're new around here, right?

Edit:
For content, here is my bike at a gas station on Main St in Walden, CO today. But since it's not obvious and I didn't take it for this thread, I'll not claim it. Unless someone else doesn't do it in, say, 48 hours.

Ok, since nobody claimed Main Street, here's the next challenge:

:siren:Your bike next to an adult-sized version of a thing typically thought of as a children's thing.:siren:

But but but what if there's nowhere that my gear is inappropriate? :cry:

Your bike on a playground. A children's playground with slides and swingsets and poo poo. Inside the fence. School is out, do it.

Highest accessible point then?

Enough states have roads to the actual highest point because thats an Important Thing, so I say leave the challenge as is. Until its obvious nobody will get it or too many goons goon about it, at least. A week, maybe?

I wave to scooters. I stopped waving to Harley guys, but then I decided I'd rather embarrass them by giving them a big ol' two-handed mom-waving-at-a-surly-child greeting.

This is exclusively how I wave to any road pirates that scowl and point at the ground. Big ol' floppy wave way up in the air, all "HAAAYYYYY!" Makes drivers laugh.
