Phooey Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Its all about the bike, the bike no peddles.... Aint there a song about that?'It's all about the bike, 'bout the bike, no peddles ... My momma told me, don't worry about your bike. She said ... boys like a little more cc's to hold up right. I won't be no moped or pushbike rider man ... so if that's what your into then you can just move along.

Grumpy Old Git Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Basically size don't matter (as long as it is big enough!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Out of interest, what's the reasoning behind people having to use a different number to the previous year? At first I guessed it was to prevent cheating, but then quickly realised it couldn't be as the tags change every year so you couldn't reuse old photos.

Grumpy Old Git Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ollie:1) Allows folk to get 'that special number' that they wanted last year but someone else had already selected it.2) People could still 'cheat' by taking pictures of anything that looked 'intersting' but not on that year's list or, think about the Pub tags - These have some duplications.3) Why not change numbers - It is not very onerous or expensive to make a new 'notice' each year.4) Because it is (currently) my game and therefore you play by my 'rules' - Yahboo sucks!5) I can't think of another reason.

RantMachine Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Mostly good reasons, although I don't get why anyone would bother cheating when the only prize is the fun of the rides And in answer to number 3, I was deliberating getting some vinyl stickers made up for my windscreen instead of having a bit of laminated paper. I suppose if I try to get 10 as my number next year and then 1 or 0 the year after I'll still save a few pennies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 anyone tried calculating the shortest route between all points?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 anyone tried calculating the shortest route between all points?? Not yet! I imported it all into tyre and it works out a start and finish based on the order they are typed in It calculated 12,000 miles Obviously not the shortest route!

RantMachine Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I have a printer and laminater at my desk, but thank you for the offer Still going to look into vinyl stickers. I have a habit of setting off on my rides without my bit of laminated paper - much harder for me to forget my windscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RantMachine Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'm going to drop the contents of my oil reservoir this weekend and check for any signs of contamination, if it's looking all clear then I'll be starting to grab some local tags in the coming weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phooey Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Ok, so we know that some Grumpy Old Git is probably going to be at the top of the challenge leader board but, is there a way of listing the points so that we can see who we are chasing?Might inject a little competition and make things a little more interesting. Apologies if this rediculous idea has already been considered and rejected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Ok - I'll put up a total score (on the registration page) once per month. OK?Otherwise, just look at the 'Pictures' thread and the scores are adjacent to the memmers profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries the next nearest Cock Inn is 70 odd miles away compared with 30, so it was worth the question.I will see how I do for collecting Tags now they are getting further away...
