Challenge 2025 Challenge 2025 - Registration

[Hoggs]

Ooh scores update and registration must mean you are all ready for 2025. Yes... Yes I am totally... like all done apart from a few hundred tags

 

For you old hands you know how it works and various other threads will pop up along the way.

 

For the new shiny players - Hi! Welcome! So you probably want to know how it works right?

 

Job number 1: Sign up here - pick a unique number of 3 digits or less, first come first served. Same number, different number, I don't care. Post below with your request and you will get added to this post. 

I just assumed last years players will go again - if you want to change a number, remove yourself or just confirm then do so below. I like getting comments on my threads makes me look popular

 

You will be required to take a picture of you in bike gear / your bike with your number visible in front of the location and post in the relevant picture thread to score points. Although I am pretty chill on how much of either need to be in the picture and if you forget your number creative alternatives will be accepted. This is a compulsory fun based activity

 

[Picture thread to be linked here on Dec 31]

 

You will get 10 points per picture and 50 bonus points for completing a set (sets are colour coded by region and there are a couple bonus categories)

 

As before if you can name your pictures with the tag reference that makes my life easier and it normally takes me the whole year to get over setting this so don't make me sadder.

Like a Christmas miracle the map link will appear after dark on the 31st December (hopefully).

As usual there will be a discussion thread for you to argue with me in

Welcome aboard!

[Throttled]

I get to re-use 57 1/2!

 

 

 

[oldgrump]

Hi @Hoggs, well I was going to add another year, to 54 but someone beat me to it, so I'll stay at 53 for next year.

[Shepherd]

As your other post mentions nobody seemed bothered with the South East, I feel duly obliged to represent the arse end of our glorious Country.

It might even mean I get across that bloody awful river crossing at Dartford on a bike instead of queuing up on 4 wheels for a change.

Number 22 would be nice, please and thank you.

[Mawsley]

Can I change my number please?

 

I was contemplating it being 'billionz', but I think I would like π

Of course, but it's going to make it tough if you forget your number and need to improvise

I wouldn’t be so presumptuous I was thinking more along the lines it would be in recognition of my 2024 campaign (should I be lucky enough to still be in the lead at the end of the year), something to go with the low res jpg trophy and so I get to bask in the glory for a whole 12 months

[JackieOWheels]

Now that I have a bike again, I would like my number 89 if it's available.

That's not the nice way to address your King.

 

[_amw_]

Glad to see I'm signed up without having to do anything!

 

I'll attempt to get more than the scant handful that I got this year, but I'm not making any promises.

 

Three cheers for Hoggs - thanks for organising all this again.

[RobbietheTenor]

I would like to register and take the number 111 please. 

Safe riding in 2025 everyone,

Best,

Rob
