I am probably late, but:

Old tag: something like a pyramid.


Actually there is no pyramid there now, but that is where one of the Ozark Trail markers used to stand. They were columns with pyramids at the top.

Here is what it looked like:


There used to be a store there with the name.



New tag:
The moon. ( I know, easy.)

Does it have to be a sideway moon shot?

Sorry, I am new to this. Trying to clean it up.

The pictures are rotated correctly in my photo library. I don't know how to flip them on the post.

Well, I give up. I see no way to rotate them on here. I deleted them and rotated them in the library before uploading again and they are still wrong.

If you are on Windows you can use this free utility to rotate and/or resize photos.

Image Resizer for Windows - Lets you resize images by right-clicking.

Well, saw the moon was still up during a break in today's ride. Was about to dig out the phone to take a pic when we got semi-swarmed by yellow jackets, we decided not to fight them.

Next Challenge (easy one) - your ride next to a bicycle

Next Challenge (easy one) - your ride next to a bicycle

This crusty old touring bike has taken me through so much:

30 miles a day commuting for 5 years
'Super Randonneur' status twice
1000k in 4 days
300 miles in a day

But, it's about to become my official 'rain bike' when my new Bob Jackson arrives from England in a couple weeks.

^Something like this, but green with lots of chrome.

New tag: Dog Park (bonus points for dogs in action!)

(It was too hot when I went, so nobody there)

I sincerely hope that's BRG (British Racing Green), not that I'm biased or anything!! Leeds is just over an hour from where I was born & raised, and just a short stop off the M62 - the major route from my parents back to Manchester airport. A trip they'll be taking this week when they return back to the UK after being at their State-side home for the last 6 months!

Once you receive the frame you should have some fun time ahead of you putting the components together ready for a ride, and then the joys of rides & tweaks. The town I spent my childhood in was also the home of Falcon cycles. Not in the same category, but still a cool place to check out as a kid and watch the process of bikes being born (my neighbour was a manager and could take us in!).

It's actually called 'bottle green flamboyant', which was as close to BRG as I could get with some metallic flash, along with 'sparkle silver metallic' panels, gold lining and decals, and chrome in all the traditional spots.

I have all the components ready to go, and yes, it was quite a process to gather them all together and have it all look right and work together. I'm having the local bike shop put it all together for me when it gets here.

I went with modern components with a classic look(a few samples):

Reminder--new tag is DOG PARK

 

[Grey1one]

If dog park is still open tomorrow, I can add 20-30 miles to the end of our planned ride and get it, unless the map is lying to me.
I also need to find a new tag along the way for the follow up.

 

[Grey1one]

The sign for the park was way back at the beginning of the access road, so I got a pic of the dog washing station inside the park.

Old tag
Dog Park:

I'll have to get the new tag tomorrow, road work and bad leading from my "expert" in the area buddy caused it to get too late today.

 

[Grey1one]

I went back to a place we went through while going the wrong way yesterday.

New Tag: Old Concrete Bridge or anything covered in Graffiti

I guess I should read this thread and maybe get involved...

Pardon the interruption, but I could not bear to let two photos of dog parks go by with no dogs! I got a photo on my bike today:

^This beautiful German Shepherd pup was just on her way in.

Bonus gator(not in the dog park, but close by):

Back to the concrete bridge / graffiti...

 

[L.B.S.]

Not exactly covered in it, but old concrete bridge and graffiti, so hopefully this squeaks by just to get the game going again...




If that is permissible, then new tag: A Conservatory, OR a Greenhouse, OR a Geodesic dome, OR just Glass Blocks. Take your pick.

 

[peergum]

Sorry, I couldn't miss that opportunity... too easy



And new challenge is NC in front of an oil tanker/freight ship or - if you don't have an oil tanker or freight ship close, like L.B.S - in front of a mountain:



Bonus point if you have a girl with a bandana / head band in the picture!

 

[L.B.S.]

Ha! Most excellent!

Ha! Most excellent!

I know. Funny thing is, I took the bike's pic at Locarno today exactly for the purpose of participating to the game, thinking I'd just post it when I would have the matching picture in the game... then I come home, look at the thread, and see your post... rode back the bike to Queen Elizabeth Park, took the pic, and done
