• Start with a City beginning with A
    • This is BY STATE
    • Similar to the Tag contest, there will be one thread per state
    • Post a picture of your bike AND some sign, building etc which clearly shows the city/state you're in
    • The next person posts from a city with the name beginning with B, then C, D, etc
    • You can't posts back-to-back pics, you have to wait for a person to post the next city
    • Once Z is reached, the game starts over with A
    • If your state doesn't have a city beginning with the next letter in sequence, it's okay to skip that letter
    • If the location sits for more than one month, the person that posted that is open to move it to the next letter.

    The World Wide game is a bit different as it is by whatever is considered a geographic type of regional category, state/province/village etc. and all those will be in the single World Wide A-Z topic.

I just saw this new section an hour ago. I had to go out in the rain on this very cool July day and ride all of 3 miles to grab this tag. Andover Kansas will get us off to a start.

Re: Kansas - "B" is for Bentley

Bentley, KS, population 530

From the official city website:

"Bentley, located in Eagle Township in northwest Sedgwick County, was established as a town in 1888, it wasn’t incorporated until November 12, 1959 when it was declared a third class city of the State of Kansas. The town’s founder is Orsemus Hills Bentley (O.H. Bentley), who was a well-known lawyer, historian, author and leader in Wichita during the 1880;s. He also served on the board of the Kansas Midland Railway, which used to run though the town of Bentley."

"Rich in history, the Bentley area once supported two grain elevators, one of which now sits, restored and renamed as the “Arkansas Valley Elevator”, at Cowtown Museum in Wichita. While many of the older business are no longer in Bentley, the town continues to grow in size and population, and improvements continue to take place. The latest being a new residential area on the east side of Bentley."

Re: Kansas

I knew he'd take the bait, but I was betting on Colwich...

Looks like I may need to head to Derby or Durham. Or Danville.

I actually wanted to ride to Climax but was just there yesterday. E is for Eldorado my birth-town so when the D gets posted I'll be hitting the road. Go fast couplers. I think it might be wise at times to hit the next 2 letters on a ride.

Re: Kansas - "D" is for Derby

Derby, KS, population 22,203. Home to our own Cary McAlaster.

(I didn't have time to get to Douglass, Dexter, etc...)

Better get after "E," Raymond, before couplers beats you to it...

Darn, Raymond; it took you almost 2 1/2 hours to get it. Must'a been eating birthday cake. You don't look a day over fifty-five...
