So, the idea is to get out and ride to some cool places off road in Ontario like the other tag-o-rama thread, but being off road, it will need some modifications.
It will be a mascot/gps kinda game, like geocahceing (sp?) I guess.
Da rulez....
1. Any place you can ride to legally in ontario with a blue or green plated bike is a legitimate tag location, if you need a pass so be it, buy one and support the sport or wait for someone with a pass to move the tag elsewhere.
2. No asphalt/pavement in the shot, gravel, farm roads are good. Boat launches, docks, piers, damns, bridges are ok as well.
3. A tag will need two photos, a wide shot with the bike the mascot on it at the hiding spot and a closeup of the mascot and gps on the seat showing the exact location of the hiding spot, ideally a unique rock/tree/culvert/sign/stump etc.etc.
4. There is no time limit between old and new tags, but you should place it that day, not on your next trip etc. Your tag could become void in 24 hrs (see #5) or if you place a tag that is deemed unattainable as in it effectively ends the game.
5. If you ride to a tag location and the mascot is gone, post the pics of the bike and hiding spot with gps sans mascot, if the new tag is not posted in 24 hours after your post, or the mascot got eaten by a bear, stolen by a crackhead etc. the tag is yours. Choose a new mascot and place the new tag.
Tomorrow I'm off to the dollar store looking for a mascot.
I want to limit the rules and all...but I am a newbie on this dirt stuff so any input from the more experienced riders is welcome...the game should be fun and accessible for all, not the burma railway of off road riding ....that will be another thread.
Some guy named craig, looks kinda cool....
