Default Idea, Annual competition

Here's something I took part in many years ago when I was in a local bike club.
Every year we would have a competition to see who could ride to specific place names and get a photo to prove it.
The objectives were places, ie; cities, towns or villages that had a persons name in their title.
For example, Bradley or Lynmouth.
The next year it would be as above but with animal names or a certain way of spelling, the list goes on.
So you would ride to Lynmouth and get a photo of yourself or your bike in front of the sign post and post it on your own thread.
The person with the most place names or points at the end of the year wins.
You would only win the accolade of being 1st but it would give new objectives when looking for places to ride to, it could be done as a group or a solo mission when you want to go for a blast but don't know where to go.

Your thoughts please or should we have a poll?

I think we should do one based on body parts!

Would C0ckermouth count as two, then?

We need to find lost.

One of these days, the Spearies will find lost.

It's actually a place btw

But back on topic, I think it's a good idea..

You might want to keep your destinations to your self as you would be giving others your idea's.

"Now where are we going on that rideout"?

We need a start date, how's 1st January sound?
