What is it?

The Cincy Riders photo challenge encourages us to get out and ride areas of the tri-state we may not have ridden before. When can you join? NOW! It doesn't matter if there's 1 month or 11 left in the year!

Game play takes place in, and is managed through, the Photo Challenge channel of the Cincy Riders Discord: discord.cincyriders.com

How it Works (Sample Order)

1. Rider A posts a photo with identifiable landmarks. (For this example, lets say Fountain Square.)
2. Others try to determine the location (by themselves) using clues the from the photo.
   • Rider B and Rider C figure out the location & start riding to Fountain Square.
3. Rider C takes a picture of their motorcycle at Fountain Square (similar to Rider A's from step 1) and immediately posts it to the Photo Challenge Discord channel, before Rider B  has the chance to.
   • This reserves the point for Rider C, but it hasn't scored yet. Keep reading!
4. Within 36 hours, Rider C restarts Step 1 by riding to a new location and posting a photo of their motorcycle with identifiable landmarks to Discord.
   • Rider C has now completed the flow and scored the point.
5. Continue to step 2 above.

Info & Clarifications

• Play is sequential. The person who posts a photo from the active spot to the Discord channel first reserves the point.
  • Tip: once you take a photo at the active spot, post immediately! If another rider gets there an hour later, but posts their photo before you, the point is reserved as theirs!
• Reserved points aren't scored until the rider posts the next location (36 hour grace period).
  • If 36 hours lapse with no new photo, the point is no longer reserved and the prior spot is up for grabs again.
• The person with the most points at the end of the season/year wins.

More Info

• Locations should be:
  • Within a ~20 mile (crow flies, not driving) radius of Fountain Square for easy access via a 275 loop + wiggle room. (rough map below)
  • Identifiable (memorial displays, statues, buildings, signs, art/graffiti, overlooks, etc). The side of a road with a random house doesn't count as it isn't identifiable.
  • Accessible by all bike styles (no locations requiring trespassing, off roading or with limited accessibility.)
  • Unused in the current year.
• Your bike must be in the picture at the location. A unique feature (like your glove on the bike) is encouraged to ensure current pictures.
• If no activity in Discord for a couple days, ask if people need a hint to keep the game from stalling out (but don't give it away!)
• Group ride? Reserve & claim group points:
  • Everyone’s bike must be in both the original spot and new spot photos to get the point.
  • Points are added to each riders individual totals.
• The rider(s) who submitted the current challenge cannot participate in the discovery of that same challenge.
