So Y'all seem to be focused on 'group riding' as far as concerns "the Rides Committee" meeting...
When Ed & Barb were in charge (of the yearly Ride theme & scoring), they'd hand out individualized Numbers/Placards that we could attach to our individual bikes and snap a picture. We did rivers, we did county courthouses, and there certainly was the snap-a-picture of
every State U entered category. You could send folks to stadiums, or State Parks, or National Monuments {
there's a lot of them in the DMV}. We won & enjoyed the "I've Been Everywhere" Tour following places mentioned in Johnny Cash's song...
We also won the Twin Cities contest where you visited US towns with a matching overseas town {Paris TX & Paris FR}
(extra points for Doubles & Triples & Quads, etc - there are a lot of Salems & Dovers & Springfields around the World).
The Goal was to encourage Everybody to Ride all over the country documenting their summer rides. As mentioned above, ya just need to be able to prove it's an appropriate/current digital photograph. U could issue new BMWBMW placards, or U could just turn-in a "file" of jpegs with an inventory of the year's theme to the Rides' Committee at the last meeting of the year [before the celebratory Holiday Party]. Need a decent camera with a date feature...
Go Take a Selfie at every Frozen Yogurt Outlet you can find, or Steve Anderson would rather like every BBQ Joint you can locate (lots here in AL)... OR, it could be Lighthouses, or Train stations, or BMW Dealers {Lord knows they're a shrinking commodity}. They just need to be individual, unique, and somewhat identifiable.
Good Luck on Invigorating the Riding Spirit within y'all's membership in 2020!
We're trying to raise the
AlaBeemer's Enthusiasm Level too.
