Spent a great day on Saturday getting a few more tags, even the rain couldn't stop the fun.

After an one of my riding companions decided to see how many points he could get performing somersaults and backflips while riding his bike and at his insistence that we carry on with our day out after he was airlifted I managed to nag another 2 locations. BTW We awarded him 7.4 points (as well as a broken femur, wrist, thumb and dislocated shoulder and a nice ride in the air ambulance) Dom’s Bike Stop http://rigsville.com/wp-content/uploads/wppa/6902.jpg?ver=2 Queenswood Cafe http://rigsville.com/wp-content/uploads/wppa/6905.jpg?ver=2

Phil, nice article and website, thanks for sharing.

Depending on what I'm doing I have a choice of GPS options: If I'm going out all day, maybe doing a number of Challenge 100 locations I design a route with TYRE and upload that to my Garmin 550. If I'm just out and about I use my mobile with either Google Map or Waze (I tried co-pilot but didn't like it) fitted into a Ultimate Addons Mobile Phone Mounting Kit (review link here) I also always carry an A4 AA map At the end of the day it's about having fun, having a laugh and being safe.

Each year the tags are different

I fitted a Powerlink USB socket to my Blackbird (http://www.powerlinkproducts.co.uk)

Looking forward to next year, hoping I can beat the 350 points I got this year

Loads of sellers on eBay but if your after (and happy to pay for the privilege) Byke Bits - www.bykebitz.co.uk sell genuine Givi spares.

After a disastrous start to Saturdays run where myself and CB999 were aiming for a run around the Lincolnshire locations but had to cancel due to me getting a puncture on the M1 and having to have the bike recovered to get new tyres fitted I still managed to bag a couple of pub names on the way home (Thanks for CB999 for his help) Three Horseshoes http://rigsville.com/wp-content/uploads/wppa/5649.jpg Shoulder of Mutton http://rigsville.com/wp-content/uploads/wppa/5650.jpg

Yes, had a great day, just need to get out more and get my numbers up.
