Since its springtime, and a vast majority of CA is about to start riding at least 5% as much as we talk about riding, we should make our riding a game and play the aptly titled Riding Game.

Never played the riding game? Its easy, heres how it works:
  • Read this thread for the current challenge.
  • Be the first to take a picture of your bike fulfilling that challenge and post it here. No pre-existing pictures (except for my OP example), you have to go out and get the picture. Failure to do so will result in us knowing you're a dick.
  • You get to call the next challenge. Please make it specific and doable, as to not slow down the game.
  • Make it easy to find in the thread itself, maybe :siren:surround it with sirens?:siren:

Example: The challenge is "A Picture of your bike on a dyno". If you are the first person to complete the challenge, you post a picture of your bike on a dyno, like so:



Then you call out another challenge: :siren:A picture of your bike in a tunnel:siren:

Thats it!

Some other things to consider: Remember this is a worldwide game. Make your challenge something the majority of members, regardless of location, can accomplish so we get international participation as well. It's cool that a guy from Scotland can go get a challenge from a guy in Chicago, and we should promote that type of play.

The challenge issuer, or the OP has final call if there is disagreement over whether a challenge has been met

So, on to the current challenge: :siren:A picture of your bike in a tunnel:siren:

I'm going to say lets keep the rules the way they are for now. If you're the first person to complete a challenge, you get to call the next one.

If you complete the challenge, but aren't first, then you can of course still post your pics and tell your harrowing tale, you just don't get to pick the next challenge.

The way I see it, its a game of odds. Odds are, if you play, and go for the challenges, you'll win some of them, and you'll lose some.

I actually didnt mean to, but I was driving for work today, realized I was going past two tunnels, popped the GoPro on and took a small detour. I assumed since everyone was saying they couldnt do it that I picked something too difficult.

I promise not to do it again.

Isn't the whole point of this game that it makes you go out and explore new places on your bike? And it really isn't that hard to find a laundromat, jesus.

maps.google.com -> "[your city] laundromat"

Exactly, which is why I didnt lead with "your bike in front of a McDonalds"

First one to get it gets to call it. Even If someone posts it before you, or says they'll do it, try for it, the worst you get is a good ride and an interesting picture.

If you do a challenge, even if you're not the first one, post your picture here anyway

Went out and the challenge was filled when I got back.

I went to a bus station to find some homeless people, but they're all dressed really fresh here for some reason. A close up shows a face and hands that look like they were left on top of Everest for a year, but leather shoes and a button up???

The reason this road is so fun is that its a two rut road in the middle of a city. A tiny offroad haven in the concrete.

As long as the picture obviously shows "this bike isn't meant to do this", then fine. Perhaps mspaint some pain lines coming out of your rear end on the picture.
