@90gtvert are you about to picture dump on Instagram? I wish. I was easily defeated by instagram. I posted the first one (my first time posting there) and you said it was a story and would disappear in 24 hours. So then I spent an hour trying to figure out if it was a story or not. Shows as post, but if clicked said "stories". Reposted. Still couldn't tell for sure what it was. Couldn't even figure out how to message you back privately to see if it was good to go. Worked on figuring out a route. Thought I could do most in 1 day. Day 2 would be riding all the way down to VA to grab a big rocket at NASA for one challenge and racking up miles. Then I decided that there was no point if it's all gonna disappear anyway. Sat around depressed all weekend and rode 0 miles. I had it marked on my calendar and had told everyone to leave me alone for the weekend because I would be gone on the scoot. Turns out, my pic is still up so I dunno what the hell I did. Maybe next year grandpa will be able to tell a post from a story. It doesn't exactly look complicated, but I'm so used to PC and programs where info is easier to get (at least for me). Maybe someday I'll come out of the dark ages.

But I'm with you, not a fan of any of those things myself, but I work with instagram one time a year, and this is it. I had to Google how to upload. 😅

I phone mount broke at my first challenges so I couldn't use my oddometer. 3+ tanks of gas (which oils have put my at 150-180 miles) and all I have to show for it is 1.25m on the phone.
I was gonna finish then just ride for miles but I was like why bother?

I had another picture for this challenge but then I rolled up on this in the Harbor Freight parking lot... one unmarked K-9 unit and one marked. The unmarked had his lights going. I thought to myself this will make a better picture but I’ll need to get close but not too close. Right after I snapped this pic they had that guy out and up against the car, frisked him, and then were having him remove his shoes and stuff. Not sure what was going on but that guy they pulled over was either having, or was about to have, a very bad day.

This was a great game this year with an awesome theme!! Had a blast getting over 40 tags in one day. I slept almost the entire first day/night and had to put in the miles... 2 tanks on Stella in one day and it's my new record.
I still don't know what Donald Trump and Bicycles have to do with each other... to work off all the McDonald's?

I got more in this year than I have any years prior. I missed the easy flash challenges since I barely grasp the post aspect of instragram and no I”m learning there is a follow aspect too. Ah well, next year.
I’ve already complained about my odometer... “that’s racing”. An order has already been made for a GPS unit to remedy that situation next year.
When I could get out early, like ~8am on Saturday, riding was beautiful. No traffic, it wasn’t 110F degrees, it was a good thing. Already looking forward to next year!

peterlequang! Dam yeah you reposted it correctly. I should have let you know that it worked. Sorry No worries. Thanks for letting me know there was an issue anyway. Otherwise I would have posted a bunch and had them disappear by now and been totally lost.
