Dang. I could've got the 'L' real easy today but I'd have to photo shop the bike in.

The J was posted on Friday. The K was picked up the previous Monday but posted today, Saturday. Is this correct protocol?I picked up the "K" on a ride on Monday.
Doesn't matter when you get it.. you can go get the entire alphabet on one ride and post every other letter as others post letters.. the focus is to ride.The J was posted on Friday. The K was picked up the previous Monday but posted today, Saturday. Is this correct protocol?
I was under the impression that in addition to being in alphabetic order, these tags were supposed to be in chronological order as well.
i.e.
I would only post a photo of a K that I had collected after the J was posted and accounted for. Is this not required? If not, this would have made things a lot easier.
The only rule I follow is that the photo needs to be recent. I don't believe the rules make any mention of chronological order of when the photo was taken. I've posted many that were taken before the photo it follows. I now go to more than one "letter" when out looking for "A to Z" tags because in the past I've gone out and taken just one photo, only to find that someone else beat me to it.The J was posted on Friday.

Seems like that discourages riding.Doesn't matter when you get it.. you can go get the entire alphabet on one ride and post every other letter as others post letters.. the focus is to ride.

It would appear that my thinking is similar to that of Jeff, and why I always thought that chronological order was required. Cataloguing multiple letters of the alphabet during one ride and then waiting to post them seems to defeat my understanding of the purpose of the game. I understood the point of these games to be to get more people out to ride more. I thought that chronological order was in place to enhance that objective.I see your point Joe however, if 1 or 2 people can take a day ride and easily photo the entire alphabet, then it just becomes a posting competition.
Not much reason for anyone else to play.
I would very much hope, and choose to believe, that with this group the honour system precludes any need for enforcement as is the case with many other of the riding games.Plus, I can't prove or enforce it much, so just not posting back to back letters is the easiest option.
Well alrighty then, game on! Snow in Minden today, so that's out! Weather looks better towards the end of the week to go for a ride. Will see where the game stands by then and plan accordingly.See post #420 for the L .........
Since I was the one who asked the question that raised this issue, I feel that for clarity I should state unequivocally that I take no issue whatsoever if you continue as you have been doing. Feel free to include when you snagged a tag as well.However, in the future I'll just not mention when I took the photo, so that should eliminate this concern.
Good timing on taking the photoI guess the speed detector thot my bike was going too fast
Strange thing Gerhard there were no vehicles approaching. The lights were flashing on the thing too. WTH?Good timing on taking the photo
